Modi's Indian Dream to over take China

 Instead of improving and try to catch up, jealousy is killing the Indian dream, created by none other than Modi. Just like Trump demonizing China given any opportunity, Palki Sharma, formerly of WION, and now managing editor of Firstpost, the mouthpiece of Modi, is criticizing and demonizing China over everything under the sun, the same bad habit when she was with WION.

She was reported to have interviewed Professor John Mearsheimer and while talking about superpowers, she asked the Professor whether India is a superpower. She was waiting for Mearsheimer to give a glowing confirmation that India is a superpower, but that did not materialize. Professor Mearsheimer said that to qualify for superpower status, countries need two important criteria and that is having a large population and secondly having the financial clout, among others. India had a large population without a doubt but does not have the financial clout. It will take time for India to rise, but how long this is going to take is the question.

You see, India is very impatient to be seen as a superpower and they even are claiming today that they are already among the top two, which is the USA and China. Russia, though not a financial giant is as good as a superpower with its massive oil and gas reserves and its food production capacity. What has India got? Manufacturing human beings and inherent poverty getting worse by the day.

Modi is able to stay in power because he is good at playing the racial card among the majority Hindu population supporting him, He is also an anti-Muslim pervert, and that is the second reason he had a hold on the Hindu population of India. Muslims in India have become the bogeyman.

A Government that relies on a single race for support will never be able to achieve its full potential for the country, despite all the hype and using smoke and mirrors to cover its shortcomings. Modi has to keep playing the same racial card, but that would be detrimental for Indian citizens going forward, unless they are prepared to remain sleeping in bliss like the German population today. Ignorance is bliss after all and it never fails to be supported.

Modi talks and promise a lot but achieve little for show. India is today basically just an assembly hub for products eg Apple iPhones without the capacity to produce the components of the iPhone without the underlying supply chain. Apple in India still has to source its Apple components from China. China is willing to supply them, but at much higher prices and that is a blessing in disguise for Chinese supply chains. Instead of exporting fully assembled iPhones, China is making more money supplying iPhone components to India. When will India become the factory of the world that they aspire to be? How long it is going to take is again the question.
