Memories of 1962 war with China

In 1962 I was in village when one day all villagers gathered at Panchayat notice board depicting what Nehru said " China has stabbed us from back". He said about start of war with China. As a stupid young boy, I went with other boys to convey the message to all villagers about war and how China betrayed us...by stabbing us from back! I took Chacha Nehru's words for granted. The facts revealed as I read some books written by others clarifying what mistakes India did (and for that matter Nehru did) and we lost many lives and land as well. The small lessons are: we need to be very tricky in dealing with China, do not invite war if possible. The big lesson is: We have to be strong to be respected. And this is where we failed miserably in last 70 years of Congress rule in "full(fool?)" democracy. To become a respected power first we need to have one voice and this is only possible if we readily accept some restrictions on democratic rights!!! Are we ready? Or else China and may be Pak shall take away land and out pride as well.

It is foolish to compare India's and China's population.

It is foolish to compare India's and China's population.

Good article:

It is not important if China's population is more or less of India.  It is 3 times India's size and 3 times per capita income as compared to India. What we should talk is where we stand? Is our standard of living of poor and medium class is good enough? The fact is it is not good. It is worsening day by day as more workmen are available for few jobs. Resources are scares and more of them have been cornered by few. Income of poor and rich is having biggest gap in the world. Our timid progress cannot improve living standard of people with this rate of population growth. India has to stabilize its population. If all Indians go for one child policy, it shall take 30 years and if 2 child policy, it shall take 60 years to stabilize the population. Are we ready for it? No...no....Politicians will never like it. Their education business, health business and cheap supply of manpower will be threatened. God bless India.

Imitate China

Mr. Rajan, RBI chief, India said India must follow achievement of China.
There is nothing wrong!
This is the best thing ever said by a top person from India about China. He said China has advanced 5 times of India in every aspect and we should be able to do it. This shows his foresight. Of course he never said we should follow the path that China took. But to have better living standard and to bring up people living below poverty line, we must achieve per capita income of China. This is absolutely correct. China is one party nation, while we have hundreds of them carving for more personal development. If Rajan say we should have more discipline, what is wrong in it. If Rajan say we should be ready to take pain to achieve higher GDP per capita, what is wrong in it? If Rajan say we need to stabilize population to achieve our goal what is wrong in it. We Indians have prove again and again that we are the most selfish people in the world and any one can amass wealth in present state of democracy(loose democracy). We need to change a lot. Modi is right person for this. Let us support him.

Matching China? No way......

These bank people talk good and what favours them. Making economy large should not only be the target. The target should be to maximize GDP per capita. This will improve the life standard. There is numerator and denominator. We need to work on both fronts. Increase numerator with growth and reduce denominator by reducing population. Till this date we talk only growth. Unless we talk of population stabilization and then reduction, we shall not see quality of life improvement, let there be double digit growth for 5 or 10 years. All efforts of government will got to waste. But again this is what illiterate Indian people expect as they are not ready to put cap on birth control. We shall never see $2,000 per capita income, even by 2020. Let us not dream more!!!
