China and Japan invented the model of copying the western technology and innovating and building their own in house as well. We are still in the nascent stage of building our own innovation model. But the stress to Make in India is very much to safeguard the country's future interests and not end up as a debt-ridden nation like our neighbors. You can make in India using modern lab technologies and statistical tools already developed, regardless of where they were developed. And then you can get to a point where you are the one supplying them to others. Innovations in ag and pharma must also be accompanied by objective, rigorous assessment using valid statistical tools to determine whether something truly works. Such innovation is best sponsored by government investment in the research sector followed by licensing of the technology to indigenous private entities for scale-up and distribution.

It is not as straightforward in other industries. This year India has built its own indigenous 4G LTE network, it has taken a monumental effort to integrate all software and hardware components. It’s for internal deployment only and not even to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The efforts will have to be monumental and will have to be done with massive government investment in basic research and freedom for scientists to innovate (and fail before they succeed). coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence I called out @Austin 3:!6's bluff who thinks that Indians want to work in India today. Watch Modi's speeches pre 2014 elections and watch now how he has dumbed down Indians today.

No one is saying India has become a superpower. It is simply not possible for any government to make a country and that too with a population like India superpower in 10 years. However, would you disagree that India is at a much better shape economically than where it was 10 years ago? That is the point I am making. No one is saying India has become a superpower under Modi.

The socio-economic development was much improved in 14-24. The lower match dole class has largely benefitted by Modi schemes. Infrastructure, roads, railway , airports have had exponential growth, at the same time corruption and terrorism has reduced much. It is not that we were better off in 2014 than 2004.

Both 2004-13 and 2014-23 experienced two global recessions. The first is the global financial crisis and the second is the Covid-19 pandemic. Many have compared these two events, but such a comparison is problematic on two counts. First, the 2020-21 pandemic caused a greater intensity of economic shock than the 2007-2008 global financial crisis. Second, economic outcomes during the pandemic across the world were determined by public health choices, like lockdowns. Therefore, for the purpose of evaluating economic performance across time, these two years need to be dropped. However, the inclusion of these years does not change the key result: India’s improved performance in 2014-23 compared to 2004-13. A simple comparison of growth rate shows a drop from 7.8 per cent in 2004-13 (Period I) to 6.9 per cent in 2014-23 (Period II). However, global growth during Period II was 4 per cent compared to 5.6 per cent earlier. As a result, India’s excess growth is 0.9 percentage points (pp) higher in 2014-23 relative to 2004-13 (2.9 pp vs 2.2 pp). Therefore, the conclusion of better economic performance due to higher growth during Period I ignores the conducive external environment that facilitated this. It is important that commentators recognise that the changing external environment renders the comparison of simple growth rates incorrect for the purpose of comparing economic performance.

Some people think Lehman Bank collapse was a crisis too big to manage and can be compared to Covid period or multiple wars in various part of world in present era need to understand the difference. and hence MMS era achievement are massive, China was growing 2-3% higher than India throughout MMS period.

Credit crunch only made people not being able to borrow for small period and prices readjusted to lower level, lin West, Current challenge is commodity, energy is unavailable while wars in progress while UK has declared that World has reached pre war phase.

You are in phirang land and like most lonely NRIs, you are craving for an identity. Modiji and Ram Mandir gives you that catharsis. A stupider follow-up post to the initial stupid post. There is no connection between Ram mandir, living standards and job opportunities. If you think a Hindu majority country should not build a Hindu temple at ONE OF THE holiest site in all of Hinduism, than you are an idiot. Plain and simple.

But seeing the amount of triggered posts here confirms what Anurag Kashyap films show about a dystopian India (not that I like him much, I do respect him for his art). I am a coloniser. Meaning, i am here in north america to spread my culture, plant roots & spread my ways while facilitating immigration of my people to the land to colonise it and create an Indosphere, same way as Anglosphere exists today. Except my sanskaar are better than euro savages, so no plague blankets, mass murder and eviction of the natives ( euro descendants) from their lands. I will return when i retire, so that i can bring my income from the land i colonised, back to motherland to spend, while leaving back my descendants to further the colonial cause.

At least we immigrants are boldly going where no Indian has gone before, planting our root, assimilating the locals with an efficiency that will make the Borg Queen jealous and are making the effort to expand India.
