Vietnam story is the new Bangladesh one atm where everyone was

This is a absurd take have you even visited Vietnam lol... Infrastructure alone will make you feel India is Kangludesh in comparison.

There are no potholes, well maintained clean roads which are alien concepts in India and even sky high buildings mog everything we have.

 

In 1980's India's GDP per capita was actually higher than Vietnam which was recovering from 5 consecutive wars..

Right now Vietnam's GDP per capita (nominal) is 4,600 USD, PPP is 15,500 USD

India's is 2900 USD and 12,000 USD in PPP,

PPP wise, average Vietnamese is 25% richer than an Indian and nominal wise 36%.

 

Prosperity index Vietnam> India.

Reckon we are still 7-8 years minimum behind them.

To claim India is "behind" a country like Vietnam,which essentially functions as a high-speed assembly line for external markets,is to fundamentally misunderstand economic sovereignty. In 2026, the IMF has confirmed that India contributes 17% to global growth, more than double the contribution of the United States and nearly ten times that of Vietnam (1.6%). Vietnam is doing well, sure, but it’s doing well as a satellite. Its export-to-GDP ratio of nearly 90% makes it incredibly fragile; a single global downturn or a shift in Western consumer habits hits them instantly. India, by contrast, has built a massive, self-sustaining internal engine that doesn't just assemble parts,it invents the systems they run on.
 the India-US trade deal slashed tariffs to 18%, lower than the 19-20% rates faced by Vietnam and Malaysia. This has essentially reset the board. While Vietnam was busy building roads for trucks, India was building the world’s most advanced digital public infrastructure and securing semiconductor plants that are coming online this year

It’s easy to have smooth roads when you’re a small, centralized manufacturing hub. It’s significantly harder and more impressive to modernize an entire subcontinent while maintaining a complex democracy. India isn't 8 years behind,it’s a cleaner version of a factory, but a global tech and services titan that Vietnam simply cannot compete with in terms of depth or scale

This is not a prosperity problem but an urban planning and bureaucracy problem the latter - arguably both - being legacy issues. Infra and general liveability is downstream from a lot of things other than just pci which people don't seem to get. It's very simplistic to think pothole free roads alone means being richer for even in India many lower income areas are clean and have good roads comparable to certain metro areas. Vietnam has its share of **** hole areas btw like the rest of Asean and even places like HK.

These pixelates pci figures will show that pakistan was once comparable to us or that we were once comparable to China ignoring a lot of other things just like people saw it and Believed kangludesh was the shining eg. In the subcontinent once which also deserved to be treated with derision then. And PCI and GDP stats themselves have their flaws.  Our own gdp suffered from 3 wars, a refugee crisis and extreme socialism and license Raj which paralyzed any kind of growth. We only became serious about it since '91 when we  had no choice but to reform. 

 

In terms of long term trajectory people will laugh in a few yrs that anyone was comparing Vietnam with India and for good reason for one can only ever see aspirations of being a mid tier export hub with hard ceiling on domestic economy and consumption due to its size, geography and population. It suits the agenda based news cycle and SM content creation requirements which prioritize engagement though to kepe harping on it.

Some great games so far from the associates

 

Its the final overs of the innings where they are struggling. Today Nepal, yesterday Ned. These guys play a lot of league cricket and its help them prep but the last bit is missing.

 

Bodes well for the sport the competition they are giving.

A service based economy vs a manufacturing based economy...I know whom to bet on to get immediate success and which state is close to begin industrialisation phase.

We've seen some excellent fight from the associates the last two days? Which backs to the wall performance do you think was the best? Was it from SKY or Faheem or Sam Curran?
