Can India compete with China?
India is always compared to its neighbour China these days when it comes to growing economy or development in Science and technology. We also keep hearing from our babus that our economy will overpower China in coming years. But the truth is something in very contranst. A recent survey done by an Indian scientist from Kolkata admits this. It says that it will take 163 years to match China's science and technology if Beijing were to freeze the 850,00 strong scientific workforce.
"...made a startling revelation that if Beijing were to freeze the 850,000 strong scientific workforces, India, which produces 4,500 science doctorates annually would be at par with China only in 2170 AD. reported The Telegraph.
The Indian science and technology workforce is only 115,000, which is roughly one-eight of China." Linked here

@katzview: it is not that easy to tell India can catch up. there are many factors which are found only in India nad not in China to hinder the progress. Eg., govt policies, omnipresent corruption, population density, false secularism, religious diversity. In a democratic country like India, you cant take strict stingent rules overnight to erase the corruption, population outburst. but China can do it. they have a communist ruling. They can just wipe off an old village overnight, wipe off the houses, order the people to vacate and build new buildings. people cant raise a question. you cant do it here. that was just an example. they can bring strict rule into action like NO 2nd child what so ever. can you do it here? similarly other reasons. think, think twice. it is truth that we lag behind and may take many years to match them. |

thats bullshit.. if they were to catch up with us from the 40's then we sure will be able to excel them..
India is like an elephant, once it starts running its different to stop it... its always a competitive world, and its eveyones for the taking |
