As a country, India is anything but a success. It is still bragging about a 3 trillion plus economy, the fourth or fifth biggest in the world. Spread among 1.4b Indians, this is tiny. Its military weapons are based on what they can buy or pick up from the shelves. Its industry is still mainly agrarian and rustic, no real industrial base. Its automotive industry is only good at building tuk tuk level of transportation. Its missile or rocket technology or space technology is good to travel to the sun. No mobile phone technology, no communication technology to talk about.
India is proud of its IT but mainly in software, not hardware, not chips and not heavy engineering stuff. How good is Indian IT is best seen by the performance of Boeing aircraft and NASA. As a nation state, it has nothing to talk about in this field, nothing that stands out to call its own. Oops, maybe they can brag about call centres.
It is true that Indians have a lot of talented individuals. But these individuals too cannot grow on their own but need a big tree to attach to for them to grow and flourish, like those plants attaching themselves to big trees, sucking the nutrients from the trees to climb higher. They are very successful in this way to shine in many American and western countries, to become CEOs and top management. Other than a few native Indian companies, all the top Indian CEOs are riding on companies and corporations built by others outside India.
In the animal world, the closest specie that resembles the Indians is the cuckoo bird. They laid their eggs in nests built by other birds, kicked out the eggs laid by the other birds, and let the other birds to hatch their eggs, feed and grow to become cuckoo birds, without knowing that the chicks were not their own. Their own eggs already kicked out by the cuckoo birds and perished. In the end, the cuckoo birds own the nests and everything, calling everything their own, without the other birds knowing what had happened.
This is India's strength. The neighbours of India have known this for ages and are all breaking free from India's stranglehold and bullying. India now does not have a neighbour that it can call as friend. All of India's immediate neighbours have joined the Chinese economic train to leapfrog over India, to be free from Indian aggression and bullying.

Does not able to build anything include toilets I just wonder. Such basic thing as building toilets is already beyond them, so you cannot expect them to build things of a higher order, right?
Now India is furiously touting about building AI and already gloating about success on Channel News America. Only some success in India is seen so far, if true, not globally yet and they are already making a song and dance about it, Bollywood style. And India's AI development is going up against the USA, EU and China. DeepSeek did not gloat about success, but when it rolled out, the whole world was taken by surprise. That is the real meaning of success, not kampong style success.
Let us be honest. What has India achieved in terms of Global success in anything after years of gloating? Does India have apps like Tik Tok that are able to compete globally? Does India have a global standing in Mobile phone usage worldwide? Does India have a Huawei instilling fear in Western circles that they have to invent propagandas to demonize it because they could not compete against it?
Yes, India is good as raiders, eyeing companies that invested and succeed in India before passing laws to punish them and force them to sell to cronies of Indian leaders. Now, those investors are running away from India with just their pants on. Trump is even telling Apple not to invest in India. Funny that Trump has not warned Apple not to invest in China or pull out of China so far.
Apple is now caught in between the devil and the deep blue sea. Making iPhone outside the USA will result in a 25% tariff for the moment, not knowing what else more is to come. Making iPhones in USA is not feasible. with prohibitive costs and supply chain issues and still dependent on China and still subject to tariffs being negotiated. And rare earth materials are not going to be so readily available in USA with China stepping up investigation and tightening the noose against other countries like South Korea and UK, discreetly buying and reselling rare earth materials to the USA.
India's AI DeepScam . . . . . . .

Interesting comparison of China and India's cities and their GDPs.
Dream on India and kept lying to your own to keep them poor.
