India has many advantages.
Rule of law is British based.
Limited sectarianism.
Not communist.
People are focused on getting ahead.
Youth.
The health issues they have are going to improve, not decline.
Education can be quite good, and can surely improve.
Upward mobility is possible.
I don’t hear that the Indian government wants to punish success like socialists everywhere else.
So, I’m optimistic about India. It’s not all roses, but I like it’s prospects much more that China or the U.S.
India is still handicapped by a protectionist outlook for its businesses and industries. To open a business takes years of soliciting permits and approvals.
It will never be much more than a third rate Asia power unless it allows competition and does away with the corruption in nearly every level of government.
