Will india beat china in economic revolution?

In an article written by David Sims, he notes he'd lay his money on India, not China, to be the Next Great Thing. He write, "The three main reasons, of course, are that India is \na) a widely Anglophone democracy operating under the rule of law, \nb) serious about protecting property and intellectual rights, and \nc) highly entrepreneurial. \n\nChina is none of those nor ever will be, and you can’t name a significant long-term world economic power in the last hundred years who’s not at least two out of those three."\n\n Does anyone remember that China is still a communist country with a dismal human rights record? Remember? Communism? Chairman Mao and all?\n\nIndia is a democratic nation. It operates under English Common Law. Its court system makes sense to Westerners. It likes us. \n\nIn terms of call centers...you think your customers can't understand Indian agents? Do you really believe that Chinese agents are going to be an improvement? How, exactly?\n\nWhat if the political situation between the U.S. and China (always touchy) deteriorates in the next 10 years? What's going to happen to U.S. investments there? You think you'll get them back?\n\nThings to think about.

India is not only progressing fast in economy...it is far above China in spiritual knowledge, the most important factor for a country/society

NOT in the first half. In the latter half maybe. Indias GDP rises at about 7% every year. Whereas, America's at 1.7%. However, the major difference is: In America with a GDP of for instance 1000, it will be 1017. Whereas, in India the GDP will be 100 and be 107 in the next year. Now you figure out for yourself. I see China as the Country of the Century.

The biggest advantage that India and China have over other countries is their population, that too when these economies are about to take off. While across the world most developed countries are experiencing  stationary growth rates, or negative growth rates (Japan, Russia) or whose fertility rates have almost reached replacement level ......it has resulted in labour loss, increase is aged population who are basically consumers and not producers and a burden on state for providing social security, low on tax payment and contribution to production of wealth.\n   While on the other hand these countries like china and India are young -with a broad base of population in younger ages...which will provide labour for economic take off in their own countries as well as migrate to other countries like UK, USA, and other developed countries (which is already happening) and bring wealth back into the country as remittances.\n      Thus having huge populations backed with strong economic growth, cultural infrastructure like education, skills and Reforms are in sure advantage to these countries.

- No doubts.. Its China....\n- The fact is the China has already already developed the required Infrastructure to face the vertical economic growth.\n- Whereas India yet to start instrastructure and it will take several years to competitate.\n- Lack of Fund, Budget allocation in Parliment for infrastructure met only a less then five percent.\n- India need pour an enormous money and have wait for atleast 10 - 50 years to accomplish.\n- Lack of roads, slow transportation, smaller port, limited airport terminal everything must be expanded, enhaced soon.\n- Still theres a lot more to explain in terms of comparison with China and India.\n- I believe overtaking China by India is become impossible for another century since Chinese gor more alerts and planning to tackle the drawbacks on Information Technology industry.\n- Hence the Real economical/military threat to USA is nothing but CHINA at present.\n\n-------------------------------

ok well Russia is in a decline of democracy (its killing them), India is good but they have too many proverty problems, EU is geting quite strong but they still are too young for any control, China is the answer they have had so many advancs in 20 years and are currenty working on space engineering. I believe the Chinese will be since they already monopolize the industries and trade...It all a matter of time.

unfortunately not.  Too many people in India compared to US.  Unless India attacks america and occupy its land...they stands no chance.  There are very few countries in the world that did invade other coutries and occupied land.  India and China are two such countries.  No wonder why these two countries are now  over crowded.

China and India are emerging as economic behemoths in the region.

China is a power to reckon with in the future especially that it s booming a an economic power.  Later, it might develop  superior arms and might engage in military adventurism in conquering other countries.

India is more powerful than Pakistan in terms of military might. India has almost double the manpower and combat equipment as a previous poster has pointed out. But today, military might cannot be solely measured in terms of numbers. There are more factors that come into play.\nFor eg: Though India has a very large military, they have 3 hostile borders to defend (Pakistan, China and Bangladesh). So its large army's resources are stretched. Even if there's a conflict with Pakistan, India just cannot afford to dedicate its entire army to the conflict, it still has to maintain reasonable force levels at the Chinese and Bangla borders. Pakistan on the other hand, can dedicate almost all resources to the conflict with India. Iran and Afghanistan are not about to invade them from the other side and the Chinese are their best pals. They even share nuclear weapons technology clandestinely. So you see how..... though India's military is larger, Pakistan can match them almost equally if you consider the above.\nNow lets look at another angle.... the economies! Here, India wins hands down. Their economy can sustain a war for much longer than Pakistan. Pakistan just does not have the resources to withstand and sustain a war effort for long. If the Indian Navy were to blockade Karachi harbour, Pakistan would probably run out of oil within a month.\nAnyways, there are just too many such factors. If you look at the overall picture, India will still win any conflict with Pakistan... but eventually... as in, it may not be a cake-walk.

You English people wont know the greatness of India. India is better than England in all ways. We didnt go to take someones land and take all its riches and at last separate it into three so that it wont grow that fast. India has powerful men like me who will try hard to make it the best.

Not for a very long time rest easy. Since China artificially manipulates its currency and economic system, it will take some major changes to give it the real shakeup.\n\nfor your question, US should continue to be a world power atleast till 2080 followed by China and India. India will eventually takeover China by late 2090 to be the world's 2nd Superpower. By 2120, India will be the Largest Superpower, followed by China and US.
