how is India, equally populated country to China, is nowhere near the economy level China (EVERYTHING is made in here) has achieved with its manpower.
In: Economics
Well most people miss out on the fact it has also to a large extent gotta do with the social structure of china i.e.china being the most ethnically homogeneous society in which 95% of the population identifies as Han, whereas in india there is the Hindu caste system in which indian are divided into thousands of different castes and sub castes and also different ethnicities and religious identities which makes it harder to co-operate and have a productive economy.
In India the caste system is the biggest reason for corruption, underdevelopment, backwardness, poverty, unhygienicness, corrupt leaders ,government, corrupt media, etc . India never had the incentive and never will be because of the caste system because indian society doesn’t want the lower castes to rise up and live a better life like upper caste Indians. Because of the caste system India was ruled by the foreigners many times and its population being converted to Christianity, Islam , buddhism and Sikhism etc to escape the caste system and reform the Indian society.
Upper castes still control the Indian institutions, governments, ministries, political parties etc
From education, business, government jobs, bureaucracy to sports, entertainment, industries etc every thing is under the control of upper castes. This answer will be downvoted to oblivion by upper castes as most of the internet users are Indians and most of them are upper castes but it’s the truth, also they’ll blame the Britishers for the caste system but we know it’s a pathetic damned big LIE.
>how is India, equally populated country to China, is nowhere near the economy level China
Short answer: Because of Henry Kissinger.
Ccp China loosened up restrictions in some geographically bound areas, which quickly evolved from small fishing villages to mega cities. See Shanghai and Shenzen.
India never really embraced trade as an economic policy. Even within India, there exist harsher barriers to trade than exist between a lot of nations. Trade within EU for example is in many ways easier than trade within India.
In short. Government interference in the economy is the difference.
No one says the most obvious thing because it would be racist and banned. The reason is China have higher iq.
Honestly it’s probably the dictatorship. Say what you will about how it affects the individual, it gets shit done on a large scale.
Well, one relatively simple answer (that doesn’t cover everything) is that China has a long history of centralized government, and the institutions to support that. India has had much less centralization–basically only the Mughals controlled the majority of what we now call India. And even then, their authority was only very lightly felt in the central plains and highlands.
The Chinese emperor didn’t always control the whole country, but frequently he did. Chinese culture got used to that. Ergo, China is more unified, organized and productive.
China began modernizing/liberalizing it’s economy in the 1970s. India began modernizing/liberalizing its economy in the 1990s. In particular India suffered a lot in the 1970s and early 80s, which led China to overtake it at that time. China therefore has about a 20 year headstart on development.
