Why cant U.S accept that India has developed?..jealoused?

America doesn't accept ANYONE is an equal enough for them, forget India. They have been suffering from Superiority complex for centuries now. But you can;t blame them either. Their educational system sucks. \n75% of people don't know if India is a country, or even if the earth is round. However they have cracked the arts and entertainment genre. \nAnd that credit I shall give them. They are good at marketing anything they make, including a Bad bad president.  If they don't know what makes a good president of their own country and then how can you expect them to undertstand other people or other 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-------------------------------

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.

India. But just because they have a potential for economic success, doesn't mean they will be a superpower. Take Japan for instance, there was a time when the yen was stronger than the dollar and so they bought American land. But then they mismanaged and lost it all. India and China both have a loooong way to go to be a superpower, much less replace the US as one.Keep in mind that both countries have severe infrastructure problems. Ever used a toilet in China? Just a hole in the ground. Try looking at the sky in a city like Beijing. Good luck, cause the pollution is so bad you can't. Their medical care is non existant. I don't need to go on about India either. nope, The United States of America is still and will always be the only real superpower in the World. Ask any nation that has dared to go to war with us because they thought we were finished. They lost. Americans are the most adaptable and independent people in the world.

You must have posted this just as I put my answer to a similar question! Anyhow, here's what I wrote:\nIran. 200 years and they have never attacked another foreign state. They are members of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (Just like about 170 other countries). They are NOT Iraq, as in, they are well advanced industrially and sanctions won't mean much to them as they are also fairly self sufficient. \nThey HAVE NOT breached ANY of their responsibilities as sigintories of the NPT. They have cooperated with the IAEA and allowed UN inspectors to their facilities.\nHmmmm, The United States is also a member of the NPT and has breached its responsibilities under the treaty several times. The USA has USED the UN to go to war ineffectively no less than SIX times since WWII! That does not include political insurgencies and and the like... Oh, wait, I remember The US has been there and done that. Look at the last time the US messed around with Iran! \nIsrael is not even a signitor of the NPT! Yes folks, Israel is not even a member of the NPT and REFUSES to allow UN Weapons inspectors to monitor their nuclear capabilities. HUH? Yep, it's true... We bomb Iraq back to the stone-age for "Developing WMD without UN Monitoring" (WMD that never even existed) and all the while Israel has a KNOWN Stockpile of WMD and constantly refuses to co-operate with the UN and the IAEA!! Israel is a rogue state! But hey, Pakistan also has WMD and is also not party to the NPT. Weird... They are always wanting to kick their neighbours **** (India) and why aren't USA World Police F*** Yeah wading in there to "Create stability, in the Indian Sub-continent?" Me thinks someone is puppeteering with The USA!

debatable topic- lucrative business deal or subjugation at the hands of U.S.? i would say it is a mixture of both. this deal will help strengthen the relationship between the two countries. us is using India as a shield against china basically to keep a check on the growing power of china in Asia. from India's point of view the deal is good in some aspects. India is rich in thorium and the research for that technology is still underway. so it needs nuclear supply for the time being. however us has a history of back tracking from deals. and another point to be noted is that India has voted against Iran which might strain the relationship bw the two countries. and the question is whether India is loosing its independence to take international decisions and whether it is growing under us shadow.??

America is clearly seeing its own interests and is supporting a country who will be able to help them in future. And clearly  this country is india and not pakistan since india is stronger economically, technologically, militarily and is becoming an important global player. This has nothing to to do with peace in the Indian subcontinent or with ethics.

India and Pakistan just need to let it go.  Threaten to give it to China, then the residents will make a decision real fast!

well, one easy way to improve relations with india would be to side with them in the border dispute with pakistan over the territory of kashmir.  this politically untenable in the united states however, and has the potential to drag the US into what could turn into a nuclear war.  so that's right out.\n\nanother option would be to sign a preferential trade agreement with india, but this would likely be nixed by the WTO.\n\ngiving them free stuff is always a plus, but that costs money.\n\nprobably the best thing the US can do is to continue doing what it's doing - particularly, outsourcing software jobs at wages well above india's national average, allowing lots of indian students to come to the US to study, hiring indians on work visas for high-paying jobs, and continuing free trade in infrastructure like steel and concrete to support india's growth.\n\nthe biggest bone of contention is probably the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.  india is one of a very few nations which has refused to sign it and this is a big problem for the US.  india will receive only limited military support from america until the two countries reconcile their differences over this treaty.

Thank Bush for outsourcing.  You cannot get techical support for anything without getting India and an individual you cannot understand.  I guess that's the NEW "American" way.

Absolutely. India is the world's biggest democracy and could easily become the third biggest economy. With the proper social reforms and a more realistic government India could be a superpower sooner than China. Alas, only hatred and prejudices die hard and will restrain growth until they are addressed.

It's called arrogance.  The U.S. has had natural resources, brain power and big bombs.  I think the day of awakening is coming when the next breakthrough in technology comes out of India or China.

A couple reasons:\n1. India's one of the worlds fastest growing economies so\ngood diplomatic relations create better trade deals.\n2. The US didn't just visit India but also Pakistan. \nFrankly I think that the visit to Pakistan was the main \npurpose of the trip with India thrown in last minute\nin order to quell ideas of favoritism.\n3. India is the worlds largest democracy population wise.\n4. Tensions between Pakistan and India are bad for US\ninterests given Pakistans status as our allies against \nterror and India's presence as a trade partner and producer\nof an well trained labor.

Having spent the last two months in Pakistan, I feel that there is no way but forward for the country to go.  Having spent a few years back and forth to India, I have found Pakistan the far better of the two countries.  May be it is about time American companies started looking towards Pakistan, a country that cares more for the US then India, ie:  the latest demonstrations in Hyderabad, home of Dell HP Yahoo.

Well, some of it is prejudice, but you do have to bear in mind a lot of people only really know about India through what they are exposed to in the course of their education, and through the media.  I couldn't tell you for sure how it is in India, but at least in the United States, educational materials tend to have a historical bent to them (so we get a much more detailed picture of India's past than we really do its present), and the media is far more likely to report problems around the world than it is to report all the good things going on.\n\nSo, the impression that filters through to many people is one of an overpopulated India where people don't have decent homes, enough food, clean water, or adequate clothes.  We see mostly the parts that are underdeveloped, that are impoverished and where the people are suffering.\n\nIs that a fair and accurate impression of India?  Of course not, and Indians should be angry their country is largely portrayed that way... but you do have to remember a lot of the ignorance of other people is just that.  It's ignorance, and let's face it, not knowing something isn't enough to understand you don't know it.  For all they know, that's an accurate portrayal of your country and they've been apprised of the salient facts.\n\nUnfortunately, the most consolation I can genuinely offer is to say India's not the only country which has such problems.  Just about every country out there becomes more and more misunderstood the more distantly its related to another country.  Even the United States has that problem.

Any country that is engaged in a nuclear arms race with another country that they hate (India, in this case) is a threat to the world. Someone gets a little punchy over there and Ker-BLOOY!
