India is a technologically advanced country.
India is not a technologically advanced country. It has a privately owned very good schools with high standards of educations for decades. The skilled workforce try everything they can to escape poverty from India. It produces and exports skilled young recruits to the rest of the world.
India the second populace country of the world. It is a very impoverished class based society (caste system).
It attracted the west because of its market size. It is now the 2nd largest dumping ground of manufacturing industry and service outsourcing. That helped India to pull out 300mil people out of poverty. Give them credit for that but calling India a super power or a technologically advanced country is wrong.
Poverty in india is something else. I don’t want to go in details as you have mentioned. With regard to tech I still believe they are in good stand globally compared to other countries. It is a rapidly growing tech hub. Google mentions excelling in digital adoption (e-commerce, fintech via UPI), software services, and a massive talent pool for AI/ML, cloud, and IoT, driven by strong government initiatives like Digital India, rapid 5G rollout, and a vibrant ecosystem for Global Capability Centers (GCCs) and innovation, though it faces ongoing challenges in ICT skills deployment. Even Google CEO is indian origin (good personal achievement). I guess they use H1B to go to USA specially in tech center and other things. Remember they have gone to the moon. They produced great matimathicians at global stage which I envy. India suffocates Africa with pharmaceuticals and many other things perhaps close to china in that area. You know they are nuclear too competing with china to some extent. We know whatever advancement they make, their population size brings their gains back to lower middle income country. India is not something we can talk about at the level of useless African countries excepting RSA.
Howevr I don’t mean the visit by Honerabke Modi was something worth the cadres cry as the visit appears to be a stint they were praying for as they were heavily criticized for deplomacy failure. It appeared a publicity and image construction venture. And PP always prepares something weekly to divert attention away from home troubles. Modi visiting Addis may be significant for business and other things but not a big diplomatic achievement as getting their coveted attention from the west which they miserably failed to get. India is their BRICS partner and historically in good deplomacy with Ethiopia, nothing special. They would be most happy to bring Putin too but so far they failed!
I still hate the out of protocol bear hug and massaging His excellency PM Modi received!
