yes.. the truth is that china appears to be stable on the surface but is chaotic beneath and india appears to be chaotic on the surface but is stable beneath. infact are growth rate is increasing steadily and with India being one of the it super powers there is a bright future ahead.

yes according to the current rate of growth, it is said that CHINA is abt to become the greatest economic power of the world by 2025. india is expected to be 2nd in the list. however it is going to be difficult for CHINA to maintain the top spot for long, as it is expected that the country would face acute labour shortage in the near future. the main reason for this is the population control policy of the country. on the other habd, india has no such policy in action which is being followed. thus the growth advantage of the future iswith INDIA. now to utilise it, the GOVT. of INDIA needs to plan and construst infrastucture on a larger scale.

Without being too invasive or rude, I dont really know what is going on in dheli. There are people driving their cars, vans and lorries at top speed, beeping their horns and going thru red lights, and you are worried about a move towards communism? Did you ever stop to think that maybe communism is EXACTLY what India needs to become the rich, prosperous country we all know it can be. Its the corrupt government that let india down. Look at places like chadigarah - a communist state - one of the most beautiful cities in india. There is no welfare state - that means no government support for unemployed, sick or poor. Fix up and take a stand. As a british born Indian woman - I wish i could do more to help my motherland become then best it can be.

They like power. They like being at the top of society. But, it also has to do with the fact that these nations have very limited histories in democracy. Democracy is a journey, NOT a destination.

Without communication it would be impossible to develop a country.  You need to know what the needs of the people are and develop accordingly as there is no single formula for development - don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

right now all the countries care about showing off their powers and not really thinking about what they definitely need to improve on. I'm originally from india and as u have probably heard that india's economy is improving dramatically. Well, if you ask me, it difinitely is improving army bases business but a majority of the poor is still in india.

Britain is neither a republic nor a democracy.  It is a constitutional monarchy.  America isn't a democracy, either - it is a republic.

I honestly believe that democracy does not work in all parts of the world. China would fail if democracy ever happened there. China is a country that has deep traditions, and for that reason China will never be a democracy. On top of that they saw what democracy did for Russia.

Not really, there are certain aspect that India must achieve. Have you read Business Week about india economic growth ? There are certain level that India must achieve before India can be higher than China, e.g the transportation and the infrastructure, also Indian people should work in India instead of going out to deliver their knowledge. But in terms of IT, India is much better. Now, China and India in compete in every aspect and world knows about it.

India-the largest democracy in the world

Hey... I think its more to do with education....\nthe level of education is very poor.... and whatever education they get is through religious leaders (most of which is useless)...\n\nI would request you not to club all the muslims in this category.. there are millions of muslims in india... and most of them well understand meaning of democracy.

Its always the big fish eats the small fish game..look at world history, no small fish as yet ate a big fish..moreover, strategically as well India needs to have control over Nepal to keep China at bay..but why are you so agitated, there are more than 500,000 Nepali's working in India, isn't that anything to you ?

in any given situation, the power should reside in the hands of the people. however, in reality, the power from these people may sometimes being handed over to a few elites and thereby forfeiting their rights to decide.\n\nfor india's case, i believe the situation is exactly the one that i described above...

An Asian police state?  No, China's government is in a state of flux.  Right now,  China's society seems to be stratified; there isn't much middle ground between the haves and the have nots.  The government is designed to provide for the have nots, but the power of big businesses (from outside investment) is something the government currently can't check.  In time, the government will obtain the resources to correct this imbalance.  China has no intention of subjugating its people, if that's what you mean.
