It has more disadvantages than advantages, but one of its advantages is the planning of the economy: A clear example of that are the examples of China and Mexico. In Mexico there is a democracy, so the discussion in congress stopped taking measures to attract investment. In China, the economy is centrally planned, so all the reforms needed to attract investment and create jobs were taken very fast, allowing the Chinese economy to grow at rates of 9% while Mexico was stuck.\n\nHowever consider the disadvantages of lack of freedom and that if an inneficient government get to power they can cause more damage.

I am British, but have been to India for work and pleasure on about 13 occasions.  I both love and hate the country.  I love it because it is exciting, fascinating, diverse, charming and unpredictable. It has a mystical quality to it.   I think that spiritually it is the richest country in the world.  However it is also a rapidly emerging economic power as well, and this, to some extent threatens its spiritual wealth. I hate it sometimes because of the poverty, the smells, the crowds, the hassle of just existing.\n\nOn a lighter note, I love travelling on your trains.  I find the bureaocracy both funny and frustrating.  Why do I need to deal with 5 different people in Wengers confectionary shop in Delhi to buy a pastry?\n\nSaris are very elegant.  Bombay is very wealthy.  Goa is spoilt by too many package tourists.  \n\nI could go on and on but i must get back to work.

There is no doubt that if given enough resources, India could one of the country who could make a difference. in last 1000 years, India is the only country who hasn't invaded anyone. considering that fact, India believes in peace and sentimental values, rather than profit and wealth (u are probably wondering what does that have to do with anything, but i have point) \nBut think of it this way, from a sociological aspect, families in India encourage their children to go other places to have peaceful life, away from all the curruption, rather than teaching their kids to make a difference in their own society. for example (very rich and famous one), an individual becomes a doctor, but he wants to practice anywhere but in India. they think, if i leave, how much impact am i going to have by staying here?? Indian people are smart, but not driven. they have values but no devotion for their community and country. thus, National health service lacks the resources of devoted people, not intellectuality or ethics. AND of course, corruption at so many levels. YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!!!

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.

Unless you've converted to Buddhism or less likely Hinduism, I cannot imagine why you would want to be very poor (unto starving, dying of a disease) in India.\n\nAustralia is far richer, and plumbers make excellent wages there.

Love it. Love the people most of all: their joy for living, their smiles, their passion, their intelligence, their sense of pride. Indians know who they are. I love the easy-going atmosphere of India. There is time in India, time to chat to friends, to have tea together, to take part in religious festivals, to prepare food for the entire family. People are more in tune with the nature and themselves. Material things matter less in India. You can get into a deep philosophical discussion with almost anyone. \nIs India in danger? I hope not. If there was a danger, then it could be the danger of wanting to emulate the Western lifestyle. But I'm sure the Indians are wiser than that. There are already so many things that function better in India than in other countries: for example, the stable prices of medicinal products and books. I'm sure it will be possible for India to avoid the pitfalls of the West and at the same time, make use of its positive experience. \nWe must not forget that Bharat is the cradle of civilization -- and not the West !!!

globalisation i feel does not benefit any DEVELOPING  nation including india. here the developing nations are forced to open their economies to the developed.if india continues to abide these policies then the prices of all our necessities might go up

The advantage is knowledge, disadvantage is time lost from enjoying life because there is much more to life than setting in front of a computer.

I have a say that this a very broad question. India is home to many different cultures and they vary in beliefs within themselves. So there is no black and white answer to this. Anyway, being born in Indian and having lived in Australia for 8 years I will try to answer from personal experience.\nMy first impressions were very positive. I appreciated the organised way of life, openess to new ideas, good governance etc. What always disturbed me was the lack of stability in the familiy aspects, lack of respect for elderly people etc. Again this is not a blanket statement but to someone new to the west it might easily seem so. Another thing which strikes is the 'me' approach of the west as opposed to the 'us' approach still prevalent in India. Anyway, after a few more years and interactions I realised that familiy/social life is lot more stable than what it seems on the surface/propagated by media and I met an overwhelming number of dedicated parents. \nWe could continue this discussion on various aspects and its too  hard to type that much !

Discrimination and the fear from the majority that smart Indians if given a chance might take over all important posts. Malaysia, Indonesia or even Singapore is not a place for smart Indians to work, live or Invest, they should move towards Europe or West.

India is one of the countries which has low labour cost. Therefore, i think it will be better than normal indian university salaries.
