It's a very real possibility that many of the countries that I mentioned will be competing against India.
The last time I went to India (not too long ago), Chinese batteries were selling 50% cheaper than Indian make - right in India!
Even 10,000 IIT grads every year cannot make India any great, see where all those IIT grads are - definitely not in India. This is sad but also true.

Sad but True !!! Why sad DIA? , it is a matter to be proud of ...depends on how you look at it .
Did you know that 30% of silicon valley's IT firms have an IIT grad on their board, not to talk about the # of indian's in the rest of the company.It is a matter to be proud of , not sad.
IITs are not an exception , other technical, medical and management institutes are not far behind. I am not an IIT grad ( i tried but failed!!
) but even then i feel pretty darn good about the education i got in india, in no way indian grads are inferior to the products of US/Canadian educational system. i'd say indians only better in many respects ( no wonder that US grads are facing job difficulties while indians on H1b remain in high demand). I agree that US and Canadian educational systems are more convenient for the students ,while the indian system tax the hell out of their students . But in the end we come out more hardened ready to face the worst challenges the world can throw at us.I did not quite get what your point was about chinese batteries selling for 50% less price than indian batteries. We get the same chinese batteries here in Canada/USA in all dollar stores, so what!!? its a cheap chinese product who cares? i dont go buy it , do you ?
and that is not shutting down local battery makers . So whats the point ?
if you want to find indian products please take a trip to sears, peir 1 imports or any high-end US/Canadian stores.
India's competence is not limited to retail products and IT services , it ranges from indegenious satellite delivery systems to cutting edge medications . India's potential is much much larger . As a testament to india's potential ,please read "straight from the gut " by Jack Welch, GE's ex-chairman for 20 yrs, please read for yourself what the world's business leaders have to say about india's potential. They do see india as a threat to US / eorupean market in many feilds . the countries you mention Uganda, Sudan , Tanzania do not picture anywhere. These countries are smaller than many states of india , both geographically and economically and politically much volatile.
Lets compare apples to apples. they might be rising up but cannot be a competion to india.
These countries can get economic aid from india but not competition.!!
India is in a different league alltogether.

Cheers

A person is never more on trial than in a moment of excessive good fortune.
Sad and True because we get best education in India and leave India to be ruled by Lalloo Yadav.
Of course, US and Canada are happy to have our IITs work in their land. But look who is the loser - the common Indian in that small village in Bihar.
There is no reason to be proud.
Well, K Raj , there may be more chinese than indians in USA , but did you know that indians are the richest ethnic minority group in US?

DIA, obviously we look at this world with very different set of glasses.
There is every reason to be proud to see indians in high places in US, they are the biggest force in taking business back to india and the trend will only increase .
There are plenty more back home who are building the nation. Pls go look at a financial magazine and see how many countries in the world have 8% growth rate. India has that despite all the challenges it faces - it is a matter to be proud of.
Laloo Yadav is not ruling india!! . India has highly respected scholarly minds as PM and President , it is a matter to be proud of . If you choose to see only laloo yadav as ruling india then thats the problem with your perception . Every country has fringe elements in politics , india has its share too.
You mention about the small village in bihar , let me tell you something about it - despite all the hardships the people face there , i found them soo happy with whatever little they have , i've learned more about life in that village than anywhere else - and i come from the same village - it is a matter to be proud of.
Now you may chose to hide in shame , but thats your choice.
For my roots to be in india - it is a matter to be proud of.

Hi all,
This one is a very interesting thread. I wish to share with you some information regarding China- India comparision. It is a well known fact that China has been able to beat India in almost all spheres of business except in Computer software. Apart from the services being outsourced from India, we are trying hard to sell our goods to US and europe in competition to China. There is a general feeling in the Indian trade circle that "Chinese model" of trade may go bust at any moment (due to artificial and uneconomic pricing) diverting all attention of world importers of goods and services away from China. In this situation, India is likely to be the biggest beneficiary of the changed world trade equation. Therefore we need to be prepared to take the qualitative and quantitative load of world demand for goods and services.
Therefore India has a very great potential and perhaps a real good economic future. Here political stability is the key. China has benefited from this situation in their country being a communist state. However there is no denying the fact that in general Indian masses are more content and happy with whatever little they have. However it is to be seen how the Indian Govts. make the money (coming from foreign trade) trickle down to the bottom of the Indian public.
