Indian Politics and Internal News

India has many cows - cows shit on the street and footpaths multiple times a day. Pakistan and Bangladesh don't have that problem.

But that being said, the fact that you mentioned BD has great infra makes me doubt your entire post, you are most likely a Pakistani false flagger who wanted to brag about Islamabad and motorway(like it hasnt been done a million times before) and trash India, but you couldn't do it so obviously without looking like a dick, so instead you sugarcoated your post by appreciating BD, and then proceeded on to do what you actually wanted to do - trash India and brag about motorway, Islamabad etc etc, nice try.. but we can all see through that.

huh? I would be lying if I said Pak-->BD that is just a fact

It’s indeed pooping on the street what’s notorious in India. But the problems are not caused by cows.

Also, Cow poop should be scooped up by Indians for other reasons. But not the other type of poop.

Human pooping is prevalent in villages not in cities, although pissing is very common. Cow is the main problem in cities and scooping is easier said than done, since there are millions of cows on the road that shit multiple times a day. There is only one real solution to tackle this problem and it cannot be implemented due to religious reasons.

You've not been to San Francisco or Brussels I take it?

India has given up on infras long time ago but however they take serious separation between class. The wealthy live in a secluded gated communities where the infras is completely different, clean and secluded from the other parts of the city.

India has given up on the infras but only focus on the rich in their secluded areas

I havent been to Brussels recently, but San Francisco yes, and i did not see any turds on the ground there. San Francisco is the favorite whipping boy of conservatives since it is in every way different than what they stand for, also they cannot afford to live there, so trashing it gives them some peace, in reality the place is one of the best cities on the planet. In any case, i was talking about India, where cow poop is a big problem.

Fact:
Only under Mughal rule has India been the largest economy in the world, surpassing the Qing dynasty in China and all of western Europe. During this period (17th century) India accounted for almost 25% of the world's manufacturing output.

This is the key part you should understand:

This is speculative; GDP

Pre-industrial age estimations of "GDP" are just tied to the basic agragian land you have under some monarchy that have serfs and subjects instead of a constitution, republic and citizenry with rights and so on (which are important foundations to education driven industrialisation and other actual productivity+innovation with human time compared to what was unlocked long ago in the neolithic and honed in the two metal ages). i.e other factors of production entering the picture past basic land....and the reason why each empire fell if they got caught with pants down on this compared to those that did bring in say a constitutional monarchy and unlocked first relevant industrial and intellectual tiers to exert across larger distances.

I could go on for many many hours on the Qing (who you set as some reference point for the Mughals to have surpassed in GDP)....alone for example....why Britain preyed on what was under their charge with almost no effort.....why the Japanese preyed even more later when their charges had thrown the Qing away and were trying to get up to speed.

We end up flexing on some 0.1%-1% monarchy controls/taxes this amount of land and basic food production....oh and here's some fancy stuff they built with some surpluses/extra coercions inflicted on the mass peasantry/serfs....and armies they could raise to try grab more or defend what they have....and the other outside-in things people like to remember things by with privilege of distance of time and space from living in it.

Its largely meaningless tbh (compared to what we have at hand and use now for GDP)...as monarchies and empires are tenuous to begin with during their existence in this era....with a whole cacophony of deprivations and degradations that squandered the human bulk under their fiduciary trust (if this was even developed rather than asserted to some degree to begin with in some fashion - no one really bothered asking or recording that anywhere....how much could every single king really care about the trial and tibulations of folks under his charge in any consistent way).

I'm certainly not bashing it. I'm speaking from reality. I've seen the dumps, the needles, the druggies passed out on the streets. And, this is in the last 6 months.

@Afif ,Looks like the Begum gave you the best infrastructure in South Asia by a landslide.

I was in California right before Covid. Have you ever been to Skid Row it is a district in Los Angles right between Little Tokyo and Fashion District. I couldn´t believe it when I saw it with my own eyes. Never seen so many homeless in my life it was just a very long line could be easily over 100k ppl

Yes, and Compton when our distribution center was located there. The area surrounding LAX proper is equally bad.

I've been to 3rd world countries that weren't nearly as bad as sections of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and , surprisingly, Atlanta.

India is continent sized, for example some parts are like Somalia and some are comparable to good asian standards.. you should try visiting states like Tamilnadu to see good infrastructure

 

[Raj-Hindustani]

It's highly debatable, in india - infrastructure development started in late 1990s mostly.

Where in Pakistan, was started in 1980s.. but unable to progress well

But I don't believe Pakistan infrastructure is better where a lots of similar videos available where visitors praising indian sides and criticising Pakistan's side....

This single video or opinion, not make much difference.....

 

[AjayGhatak]

But overall as soon as you enter from Indian border Pakistan surprises you it has good infrastructure in comparison. I was kind of surprised by even the tiny details such as the gas stations, motels, restuarants, large clean roads etc etc the Infrastructure is much better and everything was clean and people were extremely chill which adds to the beautiful nature and good infrastructure people arent in your face but they keep distance and just chill overall.

Which parts of India, Bangladesh and Pakistan did you cover?

Also, Pakistan has a habit of spending more than what they earn so their infra remains great meanwhile their financial system is toast. Its quintessential "living beyond your means" kind of thinking they have there. IMHO, Pakistan should be having the best infra (roads, gas stations etc) out of the three.

Bangladesh, last I saw (8 years back) had really bad infra. That is why I am asking, which parts of these countries have you seen? As in cities/towns/landmarks?

I witnessed similar in Kenya. Parts of downtown Nairobi were no different than any other major city I've been in while other parts the roads were little more than well-worn oxcart paths.
