We have a thread discussing a little about chinsa rise to power-
what about India? Huge population, nuclear enabled-why are they not considered heir to UD throne?? _________________ Asia Expats Forum Expat Friends Dating
Well, to be honest, India's about 30-40 years behind China, and I dont see that changing.
Chinese work ethic as well as a stable government has a LOT to do with this. In India, governments change too often, and laws too ... and this only leads to more chaos, and instability. And the work ethic is not as strong in India (amongst the general population, at least) as it is in China ... differences in upbringing over the last 50 or so years, perhaps.
Another area where China scores BIG is INFRASTRUCTURE ... Chinese infrastructure is WAY more advanced than India's, and this is obviously a factor to be considered.
The population in India is a very big obstacle on the road to advancement, too ... There was never any official birth control there (except for a very short while, and it didn't last) - and this unfortunately has led to a massive strain on the country's already depleted (by the British a while back) natural (and monetary) resources ...
Only area where Indians are ahead is IT (for the moment), and spoken English (again, for the moment).
But, I do think India will be the next world power after China . Plus, the country is doing good given all the problems it deals with on a daily basis ... _________________ Dongguan Expat - Your online Community!

I think people underestimate how far the outsourcing industry will grow. It is only just beginning.
The company I work for is currently marketing teleconferencing equipment to other Asian companies. One of the big possibilities at the moment is outsourcing corporate reception areas to India and Pakistan. This is going to be massive and India (for the moment, as Rahul points out) has the edge.
How many people outside of the subcontinent had heard of Bangalore ten years ago? Not many, I'd wager... _________________ Wer tanzen will, muss die Musik bezahlen

I agree, outsourcing is here to STAY.
However, the edge India has is mainly due to better English in general ... once the Chinese catch up, that edge will disappear too ...
See how it goes, yep, 10 years ago I dont think many people knew where India was, let alone Bangalore! _________________ Dongguan Expat - Your online Community!

Frankly, India's rise is inevitable. Vast numbers of English speakers, democratic traditions and very good organisational skills among the middle and upper classes.

All the legacy of sensible British governance.
Well let's see Jonathan -
We kicked the British out on their ASSES ... What makes you think this is a "British" legacy If we were that enamored with the clowns that ran India, we'd happily still be living under British rule.
It's folks like you that give the British a bad name.
Good riddiance to you, and your foolish traditions ... If India was really that enamored with British culture, we'd have a "Queen" instead of the President that we do have now.

JQ, I agree with the first 17 words. I thought a sensible post was coming but alas...
You also forgot to mention cricket, which England's current success in is partly a legacy of Indian migration. Panesar ring a bell? _________________ Wer tanzen will, muss die Musik bezahlen

Panesar certainly rung the Pakis's bell
Adding on, some Indian Professional(s) Universities are 100years old and still have
Intellectuals Exchanging Thesis to many Top Universities of the World.

Education is Relevent Earl Jonathan. Only educated people can become
professionals. When there is shortage of Educated Population in any
country, searching for top level Corporate Leaders becomes a pain.
This is infact the present status with many European Countries and Asian Countries as well.
Recent surveys of HR Companies worldwide find India and Singapore in Asia as having the lowest unemployment in the last decade. I saw this
recent documentary at BBCnews a few days ago.
Strength of Local Universities, Constitution, Judiciary, including a huge local market etc are crucial in having a sustainable long term High growth Nation. None of us can deny these factors do contribute to any country's
growth. Especially when it happens to be an Emerging Giant Market like
India, these factors help a lot even when FDI come in as Investments.
Minus these factors getting Investments for Infrastructure Projects which
are HUGE and Long Term INVESTMENTS, will be an Ordeal for the said governments.
