India has issues with Socialism, Islam, a tower of babel and the Brits not having a standard gauge.

In the post colonial period, India and most of the newly independent countries in Africa and Asia adopted the socialist policies of their former European masters. The rejected capitalism. The result was that the countries developed despots, large beurocracies and chronically unhappy militaries.

There is a great reason for India to be poor: it’s government is huge and expensive. So expensive that it makes more sense to travel to TANZANIA (Tanzania of all places) where the economy works better.

Modi has a number of shortcomings,one of which is with historical inaccuracies.India did fight in WWI, and in one of the engagements, Battle of Tanga, in German East Africa(Tanzania)the Indian brigades of the Indian Army were disastrously defeated by the Schuetztruppe of von Lettow-Vorbeck.

Modi said India did not fight in WW1 to expand territorial boundaries..... he did not say they did not fight in WW1. It confused me for a second...
