'India Will Develop With Or Without China's Help'

[Master Chief]

Are you referring to Pakistan here? Ah, wait, Pakistan might already be fully developed and now started giving loans to poor countries like India. Sorry for my ignorance.

Such a disappointing response to my serious and constructive post.

Nope, it wasn't. 80 years might sound like a lot of time but what you said is akin to me saying "why am i not a billionaire yet when i invested a hundred bucks some 80 years back, 80 YEARS!". Compounding won't make you rich just because 80 years have elapsed.

In 2023 we had an HDI of 0.685 so safe to say we've achieved high (0.700>) by now. If not for INR depreciation, we would've been an upper middle income economy in nominal terms. All the while starting from absolute rock bottom in 1947.

India might not become developed in its typical sense, but then neither has china achieved status of a developed country as per the "definition" of being one by various global bodies like World Bank.

We should acknowledge India's efforts in setting long-term goals and consistently working toward them, even when progress has been incremental. While the country continues to face challenges and shortcomings, its commitment to development has produced tangible results in several areas. There are important lessons that neighboring countries, including Pakistan, can draw from this experience. Pakistan has considerable potential and could make comparable strides if it strengthens governance, institutional effectiveness, and internal stability.
