Actually I think, the most ideal countries to expand manufacturing to are African countries, they have some of the same advantages once china had. 1. Mineral Resources. 2. Cheap Labour. 3. High Density of Lanthanide and Actinide group minerals. China also has a fourth advantage which is a good mix of Production, Manufacturing and Electronics Engineers. Which Africa doesn't have. On the other hand India doesn't have t…

I understand it is 'understood' that India is typically placed higher than Africa in the hierarchy of countries, owing to the success of their emigres. However, in reality, barring these colonial era 'Macaulay's children' (ala ICS officers who swore by the Queen} India and Africa actually have very similar development indicators. Unless, India sorts out its colonized education system, which ultimately is geared more…

The proportion of Indians was never that high in the ICS even right before Independence.

India is a single country, with a relatively well established national identity (obviously not perfect!, but enough for people to work and live in the same area), and a relatively stable government. Most African countries are still in flux in a huge way, and are just barely starting to establish stable national identities after decades of civil war.

Kashmir, Assam, Manipur and Nagaland would like a word with you

If the accelerated asylum process does not apply to Muslims (including Rohingyas and Ahmadiyas), why is that not discriminatory? Why is the plight of a Buddhist in Pakistan more urgent than that of a Rohingya in Myanmar?

Ahmadiyas were the founders of Pakistan, and the butcher of non-muslims in Pakistan. Why would you invite them along with the ones fleeing? It is like inviting the fox into the coop.

Citation, please. Since when did they butcher non-Muslims?

Ahmadiyas are minorities in Pakistan as are the Rohingya in Myamnar. also if you think that Rohingya hsould not be allowed because Myamnar was never a part of India, then Afghanistan was also never a part of India, so why are Afghanis being given fast tracked citizenship of India?

> Ahmadiyas are minorities in Pakistan as are the Rohingya in Myamnar. Unlike Pakistan, Indian government considers Ahmadiyas as followers of Islam. First Indian government (or the UN) would have to recognize the sectarian conflict in Pakistan and then we can initiate discussions wrt them. As for Rohingyas, they are known for some serious violence. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2018/05/myanmar-new-e...

What on earth does Indian government want, this isn’t some certificate you get from thanedar that social boycott is happening.

How does the Chinese test the Indians by not crossing the LAC https://www.indiatoday.in/programme/news-today/video/pm-nare... specifically?

The LAC is a buffer zone where the troops patrol but do not setup camps or bring in heavy artillery. The Chinese setup camps, brought in heavy artillery and diverted/dammed the river in the LAC. This is the region that they have been patrolling, so it is still the buffer zone.

Do you have a source?

you are acting as if the BJP gave India the RTI. Congress gave the country RTI. and bjp has been systematically dismanteling RTI step by step. We won't have a functioning RTI in a few years. and the existing coverage of RTI in India is abysmal. This you'd know if you knew and read the facts. the govt has severely cut funding of RTI source: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/finance/ov... 63% cut in fun…

To a hammer, everything looks like a nail. My comment was irrespective of party and your reply doesn't even answer my question. You may continue with your wild predictions.

> To a hammer, everything looks like a nail

This is not reddit for you to start attacking me. Argue on the logic.

> My comment was irrespective of party

No it wasn't. you claimed India to be superior because we have RTI while totally ignoring that Modi dismanteled RTI.

> your reply doesn't even answer my question

No, it destroys your argument because you intentionally ignored that Modi govt dismanteled RTI and still claim Russia is inferior to India because we have an RTI. NO we do not have a functioning RTI. the current is only on paper.

> wild predictions

I gave documented proof, unlike you, who started attacking me because you don't have a leg to stand on.

proof again: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/finance/ov...

how the heck is India a better country than Russia?

India had RTI before Modi came to power, Modi dismanteled RTI.

so as far as I see, from the RTI perspective, India and Russia are same.

Dude, you said that CAA applies to religious prosecution.

Ahmadiyas are a sect of Islam and they're being prosecuted. Islam is a religion so by default this is religions prosecution.

if what you said is said in good faith (and not as a propagandist), India should include Ahmadiyas and Rohingya under CAA. otherwise either you are wrong or Indian govt's intentions are not what you claim them to be.

> It only addresses religious persecution SO you agree that Ahmadiyas are persecuted. They are a religiously persecuted because their sect is being persecuted. so CAA clearly should have involved them because any secterian persecution is by default done via religion. They're not being persecuted for owning a PlayStation in a country of poor right?

> They are a religiously persecuted because their sect is being persecuted. CAA is not the only way in which refugees can come to India. They are free to seek asylum if they want. If you want them to be included in the CAA then first ask the Indian government to recognize them as a separate religious sect that's being oppressed.

you claimed that CAA is for religious prosecution.

Ahmadiyas and Rohingyas are religious sects who are facing prosecution.

ergo, they are qualified under CAA.

but you claim otherwise using mental gymnastics.

> They are free to seek asylum if they want.

If this is the case, abolish CAA and let Afghan Hindus and Pakistani Hindus seek asylum as well. since CAA isn't the only way right?

> Indian government to recognize them as a separate religious sect that's being oppressed.

the hell? They are facing religious prosecution because of their religion (sect isn't different from religion as sect is a part of the religion)

when the self declared 'upper castes' discriminate against upper class defined 'lower class' then it is still religious discrimination because the 'lower class' are discriminated because they have a particular religious identity.

you don't have a leg to stand on.

BJP govt has said in SC officially that they'll like to spread NRC to the entire country. Even though there is no real proof that illegal immigrants are flocking to India.

The mere fact that they spearheaded the kilafet movement and consequently created Pakistan, makes them the butchers. If you handout fuel & torches with an intent, that makes you the arsonist.
