Indian Politics and Internal News

This is an insane story. TN, Andhra and Telangans have gone on open fist fight to get bigger mindspace and investments from World Economic Forum.

From poaching high profile people from the 'competitors' to their teams to presenting hard pitches to the rich folks there, they have done it all.

I'm only surprised they haven't come down to outright blows right now :LOL: :ROFLMAO:

Industrialization is the goal, but you need a stepping stone to employ the majority of the population firstly, make sure they can sustain themselves, with no or very limited subsidies from the export earning side of the country, and from the profits of the internal economy alone, generate enough tax revenue to provide basic services; healthcare, education, electricity, water supply, internal security, etc.

Basically a sustainable internal market. Remember people like Shabbar Zaidi said area north of Hyderabad should be able to sustain themselves as an internal oriented market and the areas south should be oriented towards export. We need a plan for the majority of the country and population too.

From some of the profits, domestic infrastructure can be build, and human capital developed.

With a stable local market, when we seek investors for industrialization, they will also see a growing market that can absorb some of the potential exports should there be a downturn for some time.

So for boom parts of a cycle; Cheap labor for export and for downturns, a large enough market to buy at least some of the products, because they would have achieved the ability to afford it due to the growth of the buying power of the domestic market; richer farmers and richer service workers.

Exporting food products for example (from the internal economy) to the gulf countries will also support the port infrastructure needed on the coast to make competitive cities to attract FDI to restart industrialization.

Improvement to internal infrastructure can slowly be used to not just sustain but grow infrastructure beyond its current bounds; such as the canal network, to increase arable land.

Highly manual, unmechanized and low yield agricultural output, which is the hallmark of Pakistani agricultural landscape, will never be able to compete with international competitors.

Hence no viable exports can be had even to gulf countries with this method of production. Agricultural production would always be relegated to first satisfying local food needs and then exporting the little bit of the surplus left over. Whereas, the real focus would always be gaining industrialization and manufacturing prowess.

It’s not about either or, but finding a way to do both. Pakistan will have to be two economies, a coastal export oriented one and an inland domestic consumption one. With the amount sunk in to power generation, the federal government’s priority has to be export oriented investment, while provinces should be, IMHO, to focus on infrastructure to sustain local needs, including some basic import substitution industries to make the country resilient to foreign commodities caused inflation.

As far as crop yields go, incentives should be in place to motivate farmers to reinvest their profits back into increasing yields, more automation, buying ever better seeds, more efficient use of nutrients and water, etc.

Education needs to be improved massively in Pakistan.

Economy won't grow without an educated population.

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.....

insfracture build up India comes from before 90s or 80s also ........

here we have a news ☕
=>
According to CRISIL's Infrastructure yearbook 2023, India will spend nearly Rs. 143 lakh crore (US$ 1,727.05 billion) on infrastructure in seven fiscals through 2030, more than twice the near Rs. 67 lakh crore (US$ 912.81 billion) spent in the previous seven years.

@BananaRepublic

Kola bhai,

I have the upmost respect for your khaki boys. They always find ingenious ways to stay clear of politics lol

The credit for this goes to Nehru and his Congress party. You have to give credit to them that they ensured that the Fauj remained backstage and the netas monopolised political power (shared a bit with babus only then and now with tycoons)

Regards

PS: I am sure Dada (@Joe Shearer) will have a hearty chuckle reading this, knowing my antipathy to Nehru and his Congress Party.

That's depends how you believe...

Example - I am from small city and my father was working another city when he got the government job, and relocated from UP.

So I used to visit UP and my father's native place when I was under teen age... Seriously I used to hate it.... No electricity, no proper transport and still were using old methods by farmers, road infrastructure was almost null from one state to another was taking almost double time compared to today.

I can give a lots of examples actually - anyway before the 1990s, india was considered as a poor country..

I visited South Asia last year. I visited Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and India ending with Maldives. Then 6 months later I visited China, far east Russia, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Azeribaijan, Iran and Tajikistan.

I noticed one thing India´s infrastructure is beyond poor perhaps worst infrastructure and worse then mountainous Nepal. I was surprised by Bangladesh as having the best infrastructure in South Asia by a landslide most people have no idea how well Bangladesh is build.

Pakistan is second it has great roads and especially Islamabad is beautiful perhaps one of the most beautiful cities I have visited with the way nature and infrastructure is mixed.

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.

I was just like this guy when I entered Pakistan from India and the place I loved most was Baltistan it has many beautiful district and valley´s with gardens each one better then the other.

we have a analysis of 2011 as below ☕

here, India is listed above Brazil's score 41%, and would be said to be a match to Mexico's overall score of 49%. Turkey at 50% would also be said a match to India :coffee:
Russia mentioned lead at overall score of 56%, does show a lead to India. while China is leading developing world 👍
