But no progress can be made without accepting facts as they are.<br /><br />The deficiencies in project management,corruption, bad team work due to personal,ethnic,religious,case rivalries and inability to be self critical is well demonstrated by the failures of DRDO and R&D of Indian private companies.<br /><br />There are many other weaknesses in the Indian setup and there also strengths...high number of engineering graduates compared to many third world countries andsuccess of NRIs.<br /><br />Calling Pakistanis lowly serves no purpose.A recent best selling Mobile application to edit photos came through a small Lahore based Pakistani company.Its not a comparison but an indication that all that you assume about them might not be accurate....but delusional.<br /><br />In my opinion,while the window of opportunity does exist but India is falling behind due to a national policy aimed at harnessing the resources..instead all we get is talk and some copy paste policies that work but at the margins...and not a patch on China...and wont be for many years to come.Esoterichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15502559895051924669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-3677741560645799702011-01-03T22:18:42.510-08:002011-01-03T22:18:42.510-08:00India and China both have about 30-50 years of a s...India and China both have about 30-50 years of a single window of opportunity to amass a huge wealth due to cheap labour: China in manufacturing and India in IT. Now, the future of the two countries depend on how each one will use this opportunity to springboard their overall national strength with the wealth accumulated during this window. Because in the next 50 years, surely EU, America will find other means to regain this wealth.<br /><br />China is efficiently and intelligently utilizing this wealth in massive infrastructure projects, research, innovation, education, and cutting edge military and cyberwarfare technology. India, on the other hand, under the UPA government is busy squandering this opportunity through massive corruption. There is no improvement in overall infrastructure, citizen education levels or quality of living. No impetus to innovation and research. We are wasting this money to buy expensive foreign arms that have a fixed shelf life instead of designing cutting edge weapons ourselves. Our cyberwarfare skills are childish, penetratable by even the lowly Pakistanis!<br /><br />And worst of all, the money that our hard-working engineers and professionals earn in IT and abroad is returned to Swiss banks through massive corruption in the UPA government. BJP was also corupt...but atleast they kept their promises of a better infrastructure!Wikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161119866067734752noreply@blogger.com
