Should be noted that the colonization of America and its gradual ascension to become the world's most powerful country is one of history's biggest accidents.
To give the short version, the early European empires saw North America as one of two things, a dumping ground for its unwanted heretics and a convenient conduit to conduct trade with more lucrative markets, nothing more.
Britain was the most powerful empire in the planet at the time, they could've kept onto its American colonies if it was willing to expend the manpower. Less we forget, towards the end of the war the majority of redcoats who fought against the thirteen colonies were themselves colonists who stayed loyal to the crown. But in the end, it was a loss they swallowed because the thirteen colonies were a backwater compared to say the Carribean colonies, which made Britain obscenely rich thanks to tobacco, or the crown jewel that was India.
Too late, he deleted his tweet
Now he can pretend he never said anything so stupid
Impressively he went as far as saying Taiwan didn’t need a “national language” because they had Japanese…

They're mixing apples and oranges. Chinese programmers beat Indians who hardly make the top ranks in programming competitions. Indians are only translating machine language into English and it's not because they're good. It's because they're cheap. Of course Chinese earnings come from the domestic market because who else is going to write it for Chinese? Where's the Indian app that is the rage of the world like TikTok? Where's Indian 5G? Where's Indian 6G? You hear nothing. So when they say "IT" as in internet technology, it's a whole world in itself and just translating machine language into English doesn't register as worthy of getting any attention except that without the cheap translators of Indian, the English speaking computer world will cost English speakers more to use it. I see nothing from India so excuse me if I'm not in awe.

The key takeaway:
For lolz:
In summary:
Indian mindset, management systems and governance:
Just throw more Dalits at it
The strong conviction of Indian tech leaders and software engineers to make a difference:
Just throw more Dalits at it
Indian code monkeys write codes for foreigners because there is no demand for their services within India.
India is far ahead in cheap IT jobs - outsource, call centers, etc. On all other fronts - AI, quality IT products, etc. - they are far behind. The biggest IT Indian companies are just outsource centers and they have nothing comparable to Tencent, Bytedance, Alibaba, etc.
The good ones get poached by foreign firms, whilst the 'stayers' are generally terrible. Most are likely looking to get out anyway, and a contract with a foreign firm (with the possibility of getting poached) is the best ticket around.
