We won't hear much of Chinese versions of the same coming out in their national dailies...if one has slipped through the Communist authorities, the criticisers are probably dead, with missing organs.

That's probably because the People's Daily or Xinhua doesn't spend half it's time talking about how Anil from Cleveland winning the spelling bee is a sign of of Indian national greatness.

Why do you talk about China when nothing in the article and no one else has mentioned it? Doesn't that reflect an inferiority complex? Who gives a damn about China? Why must India's corruption be justified by China's having corruption? Everyone knows that the Chinese government hypes a lot, but it's also common knowledge that most Chinese take what their government says with a grain of salt. On the other hand, a lot of Indians are buying into our media's relentless hype in the last 2-3 years. "India's GDP is growing 10% blah blah blah," but the same media forgets to tell you that in the same year inflation went up 5%. So much for the much ballyhooed 10% growth.

For India to prevail, we must purge the evil elements of our society (corruption, vestiges of caste, illiteracy, poor infrastructure) and embrace whatever positive aspects that other societies may have. Even the positive aspects from Communist China, such as infrastructure and literacy.
