When Indian political leaders or experts predict
something, they were discreetly not talking about today or tomorrow, but
about twenty, thirty or forty years down the road. They probably
realised that under present conditions, it is not achievable today or
tomorrow and they knew it. It is all for the sake of the votes in the
biggest democracy in the world.
But one thing was on target,
India's population did overtake China's and running away with the top
spot. I think what they mean by being the number one superpower is in
the population race. Shame on China for once losing the top spot!
2020
was supposed to be the year that India was predicted to overtake China
economically and challenging the USA. Bragging is so much easier than
the reality. In 2020, India's GDP was 1/6 of China's and 1/7 of USA's.
How and why did India allowed that to happen? I guess they have now
woken up from their wet dream, only to find China racing ahead. But they
still think they are on course to become a superpower, with their MSM
touting and telling the world to just believe in that. I guess the truth
hurts and reality bites and they need more such boosting and bragging.
And for those that thrives on boasting, it is always worth another try.
When
India was used by the USA to counter China's vaccine diplomacy during
the COVID19 pandemic, they were swell-headed to be chosen for such a
great mission to defeat China in vaccine diplomacy. Alas, they were
blindsided by the massive outbreak of infections and were caught with
their pants down, unable to find enough vaccines to deal with the
outbreak themselves, which resulted in millions of Indians losing their
lives.
We saw the burning of corpse by the roadside, corpse
wrapped in cloths and buried on beaches and dead bodies floating down
rivers. And what did the USA do after using India as its proxy in the
vaccine diplomacy? When India begged them for vaccines, the USA refused
to bulge and kept raising excuses, and it was only after other countries
sent help that the USA could no longer become a target to be demonised
for their inaction. So, no need to repeat Kissinger's famous quotation
of what happens with those who are friends of the USA. This was a
perfect example, and this applies to allies as well.
The fact that Bollywood still churns out the same rhetoric, failure after failure is amazing. Nothing to be ashamed of, I guess.

That the spirit of Ah San..everything also very good. That is why sinkieland bring in train load of them to help sinkieland become smart nation as well as a superpower in south east asia to punch above it weight.
ReplyDeleteBringing more Indians into Singapore to replace the daft is the right thing to do. The daft Singaporeans believe the Indians are smarter than them and willing to pay them millions to replace daft and unthinking Singaporeans.
ReplyDeleteAnd the daft Singaporeans are admitting that they are daft and the Indians are smarter than them without protesting. And the top daft are telling the daft Singaporeans that they would bring in more Indians to replace them as they find the Singaporeans are really daft and not suitable for the top jobs in Singapore.
Either the Indians are so good in convincing the daft Singaporeans that they are smarter and better, or the daft Singaporeans convinced themselves that they are really stupid and incompetent and have to import more Indians to do the top jobs for them.
Whenever they hired an Indian talent, they must have looked into the mirror and said, yes, the Indian talent is smarter than them. Double confirmed by their hiring the Indian talent.
I are tight. Dinkirs are very stupid the majority anyway
DeleteIn the area of convincing others, I must give it to the Indians. Otherwise, why despite all the foreign companies losing their pants and running away, some are still pouring money into India.
ReplyDeleteOk, Ok, since Apple is doing that, it must be a great and right place to go to. And so, the fairy tale continues, until.....they start losing even their suspenders.
