I don’t believe in the India hype precisely because of my long and comprehensive experience with Indians against my will. I’m sure there are intelligent Indians but these Indians haven proven themselves by serving as Anglo servants and corporate stooges than building India., but I also find the constant belittling of its efforts foolish. There was a time when the West thought the same of the rest of the world ("only the white man is truly intelligent"); and there was a time when the Japanese and the Koreans thought the same of China ("Chinese can never compete with superior Northeast Asians"). In the end, they were all proven wrong.
India certainly brags more than it delivers, but given enough time and money, I'm sure it can do be successful, as well. Maybe it's because I'm older, but for most of the last 20 years, China was subject to this exact same kind of ridicule from mainstream media and public forums, with equally "compelling" evidence questioning everything from Chinese politics, to Chinese culture, to Chinese genetics, to the food Chinese people eat. Yet look at where we are today.
Ultimately, the secret to success is commitment, consistency and the ability to grind which Chinese have in spades. Indians do not possess this ability, exhibiting laziness and a tendency to shirk their work responsibilities by cheating and relying on nepotism to get ahead. The sheer fact that all math Olympiad teams are overwhelmingly Chinese and not Indian, should be indicative Of just how successful India will be in attempting to become a semiconductor superpower. People who blithely overlooked Chinese of the previous century are wilfully blind because China of 20th c. Was recovering from successive wars and conflicts. India does not have this excuse, rather it invaded sikkim and Goa and has had relative peace and yet India is nowhere near the size and gravitas of modern China. The general contempt for modern India would not be as universal if Indians were not so boastful and shameless in their behaviour.
This is how you know that Indian claims that Sun Wukong is inspired from India are false since Sun Wukong does not have rapey Indian tendencies
