[@udayviruppal3730]

Actually sir , reality is subtly different . While Atmanirbhar scheme and PLI is benign and much what SG says as well, there's a slight catch to it . India's dependent on China for APIs , Chemicals , Network Goods etc. even as India's tariffs on Chinese goods are higher than China's on Indian goods (since 2014 as far as I know)
FTAs as per Economic Survey released in 2020 : they've been largely beneficial to India . And here we have Modiji exiting RCEP which is a big trade deal inspite of a 20 Year window to adjust our trade barriers.
Take APIs, you have highly poor regulation and rather over-regulation , you have thorough price controls on medicines (in ECA 1955) thinning out upstream API Market .
Network Goods is not just a matter of lower cost of production but even poor R&D budget (Public and Pvt) ==> low innovation ==> low value addition ==> more call centres , lesser R&D offices of MNCs here . All thanks to a poor learning ecosystem that doesn't account for Revolution 4.0 . Our govt finds the 3% students of "Institutes of National Importance" like IITs , NITs , IIMs , IIITs should take 50+% funds and that's ok for govt , piteous
Read , Rajiv and Meeta Lochan's "Make India Great Again : Learning from Our History" (also contributors to the Print) : Indian industry lost out to British because of poor innovation , absence of upscaling and information for market research definitely amongst others....

@@amanjthomas382 As I rightly mentioned. Dear intellectuals will come here too and oppose. Demonetisation was indeed a poorly conceived & naively implemented act. However, it has hardly got anything to do with India's dependence on China that has been growing not since 2014 but way before that. BJP blaming Nehru is a political gimmick, ignore that. The reality is India is ages behind in infrastructure and it will still take India another 30 years , if not more to match the China's development and for this, with all sincerity, I will blame the previous governments.
Any reform effort in India is met with staunch opposition, latest one being Farm laws and privatization drives and yet Modi govt is expected to deliver . May be it needs to learn a few magic tricks.
BJP govt is not perfect and thankfully, like the liberals, I am not blind to praise or oppose Modi govt for anything and everything. As I mentioned, self proclaimed liberals and intellectuals will be ready to oppose this govt. For everything, however impactful and necessary it might be for the nation's progress.

It is absolutely wrong to call that India is a colony of China. A colony remains under total political and economic control of the colonizer as India was under British rule. A colonizer frames the economic policies of its colony to suit the economic needs of the parent country and totally ignoring the interests of the people of the colony. At present, India is a sovereign country and formulates its own economic policies. There are several factors that compel a number of countries including India to import many things from China. But it would be unfair to call China a colonizer, of course, the manufacturing capacity of China at cheap rates can be given another name.

USA is no friend of anyone, they always have a policy of America greatest and America first, their policy in Iran has massively damaged India as we could not import oil, and all our investments in Iran have been frozen for now, because of US sanctions on Iran. I believe last century belonged to the West, the 21st Century will belong to India and China, and it will be a tragedy if we look West and miss our golden chance.

Now IOC production is stopped, can't import from China. Who's left? RIL only that used to produce it earlier too but didn't have Monopoly back then.
Now, it's price has been increased from Rs.80/kg to Rs.140/kg within 6 months during Pandemic and with no other alternatives. In fact, even Chinese import was cheaper.
Many MSMEs have closed down or have reduced production and have faced losses and diminishing profits.

[@rabram557]

agreed. Shekhar is playing safe and is trying to woo viewers with anti-china sentiments. It is obviously not a colony of China. Britain and many other European powers bought lands, properties in Indian subcontinent, made agreements with local rulers. Eventually, they ended up ruling those places, due to various doctrines and strategies. They created feud among ourselves and the British seized the opportunity and ended up owning us. The citation of Dadabhai Nairoji, wrongly attributed to Bipan Chandra, is also incomplete. Just by looking at trade data will not make us the colony of China. We are suffering because of our own incompetence - nothing more, nothing less. I may have missed out on intricate details, but Shekhars analysis and inference is plain bs

[@georgesiew2758]

I think you are completely confusing two different phenomena. That of colonialism and that of basic economics. When a more advanced economy trades with a less advanced economy the only trade that can happen is the advanced economy trades advanced goods to the less advanced economy for simple goods. This is how trade works. If Martians existed they would not trade for any of your manufacturers either. Because they are more advanced the only thing they could want from you would be raw materials. Would you call this colonialism?
Colonialism is a matter of control and the Chinese don't control any of your choices. All their trade offers are take it or leave it offers with no other consequences those are the default trading offers since antiquity. All you've identified is the fact that your economy is less advanced and hence cannot export any advanced goods to China. If you think things will improve by not trading with China, you should just do it. These consequences of this should be obvious to anyone with some common sense. All the benefits that anyone derived from this trade will go away. Every single party that took part in this trade will have to move on to the next best economic option they have. Maybe that next best economic option isn't so bad or maybe it is much worse. You can do the experiment and see if this makes things any better.

Mr. Gupta, a tiny correction to make.
Just to give a little info as a science student. Cathodes are points in a circuit where there is negative charge. Copper is purified using a process called electrolysis. This is a purification process using an electrical circuit. Here copper is used as a cathode.
In a picture tube, the display is produced by a negatively charged electron hitting the screen. Hence the name cathode ray tube.
So when you say that cathodes have nothing to do with the picture tubes, it's a little misleading.
A cathode is a generic term for a point where there is negative charge.

To make our country out of this situation, everyone has different responsibilities but focused.
1. Politicians must work for country's goals rather than personal or party goals.
2. We people should elect locally honest leaders rather than voting for money/ caste/ personal benefits.
3. Education system needs definitely a big change. As long as we have degrees to be earned easily with no practical knowledge or common sense, then no use of our education.
4. We should spend more on research and technology. If we consider research as only another degree to teach in colleges or get some stipend, then no use.
5. INFRASTRUCTURE - Do we really see any growth in our country time to time? Apart from the rapidly increasing private townships or ventures. Unless we connect the places quickly, we can't expect businesses to grow.
6. Our country's biggest drawback when compared to other countries is, having multiple religions, languages and races. So what we should focus is, reduce that diversity as much as possible, atleast not to hinder the development of country. Everyone should think that we r Indians rather than thinking I'm so and so race.

Your comparison of colonialism as a scholar is very misleading at the least: history speaks, you should be better aware of how Indian became the colony of British and how you started the trade with British against your will several centuries ago. That is very essential point. Did China in any sense force you into this trading relationship? Yes, Indian needs to develop its manufacture capability so that it can export more manufactured products rather than low value raw materials. Modern age is a highly globalized world. You can not deny that China as the fact is the global manufacture center currently, of course, it will produce more finalized products and import more raw materials from other countries. Indian has the right to cut this kind of trade relationship if you are capable. Just China itself can not define this kind of relationship. So as you said, yes, it is provoking to call it Chinese colonialism. Hope Indian can find its own way to develop itself and improve its people’s living standard.

Now, how many Indians earn more than Rs 5 lakh to qualify to pay income tax?
According to the government’s Economic Survey of 2020, India’s per capita income is Rs 1.4 lakh. That is, the average Indian earns Rs 1.4 lakh a year. We know the income tax threshold is Rs 5 lakh. Which then means the average Indian is not required to pay an income tax.

India don't sell yourself short. Soft power goes a very long way. The border clash was a blessing in disguise because it woke everyone up and India will be shown more respect globally. As a foreign born Chinese I wish India all the success it deserves and continue to grow its middle class. Rivalries help motivate people to push past their limits and so long as everyone keeps a calm mind and focused on the goal, relations with China hopefully will repair itself - although I think trust is gone in this lifetime I hope there will be no more fighting between the people.
Now my personal opinion is keep Modi in power if there is no prospect of a suitable leader to replace when his term ends. India has nothing to compare when looking at governing such a large democracy. So every milestone can be considered a first. Im not sure if you have term limits over there restricted to two, if so may want to amend the law. Continuity is helpful as a nation develops and transform its economy and requires a leader that can make bold moves on socioeconomic without fear criticism from international community. I know there is a lot of animosity beteern New Delhi and Beijing. But try to draw some parallels of the problems Modi faces with some of the prominent leaders of leaders today and in the past of China, draw parallels not similarity. Modi has it, he is making tough but correct decisions today that will help the leaders of tomorrow achieve its goals more efficiently. If you are able to do that, the Muslim population would realise it has nothing to do with making hindu nation but everything to do with economic prosperity. Your adversaries will most definitely expose India's weakness by dividing the country as history have already proven it to be successful tactic most notably in India. Furthermore everyone knew the potential of both India and China. The borders definition was delibrate to slow any progress of realising its potential. When economic activity increases and can start challenging the west the borders with neighbours can conveniently be exposed to halt progress. The border clash needed to happen so that both countries will realise its cost and the effect it will have on growth.
