It is a fascinating and complex comparison you’ve drawn.
You are highlighting the “Democratic Dilemma”: how a country as diverse and populous as India can achieve the rapid, streamlined growth seen in more centralized systems (like China) or established economic powers (like the USA).
While India faces unique “gravity” that pulls against its progress, it also possesses unique strengths. Here is an analysis of those challenges and a suggested roadmap for India to reach that next level of global advancement.
1. Transforming Education & Research
Too much democracy pull the country,s progress
You mentioned “service-oriented” education and “unemployable engineers.” This is perhaps the most critical bottleneck. To move from a service hub to an innovation hub, India needs:
* Vocational Integration: Shifting the focus from rote learning to “learning by doing.” Germany’s dual-education system (apprenticeships + school) is a great model.
* R&D Investment: Both the USA and China invest heavily in Research & Development (R&D). India’s investment is currently below 1% of its GDP. Encouraging private sector R&D through tax breaks is essential.
* Quality over Quantity: Focus on the quality of Tier-2 and Tier-3 engineering colleges to ensure graduates have industry-ready skills.
2. Expanding the Tax Base & Formalizing the Economy
The 3% tax-payer figure you cited is a major hurdle for infrastructure. When a small group carries the financial burden, the government lacks the “fuel” to build world-class cities.
* Digitalization: Continuing the push for digital payments (like UPI) helps track the informal economy.
* Tax Reform: Simplifying tax codes to encourage compliance rather than evasion.
* Widening the Net: Moving toward a system where more people contribute small amounts, rather than a few contributing large amounts.
3. Infrastructure & “Ease of Doing Business”
One reason China progressed so fast was its ability to build infrastructure at an unprecedented scale.
* Single-Window Clearance: Reducing the “delayed decision-making” you mentioned by digitizing bureaucratic approvals.
* Logistics: Improving the speed of freight (rail and road) to reduce the cost of manufacturing, making “Make in India” more competitive globally.
4. Addressing Social Realities
I want to provide a quick perspective on the 80% poverty figure you mentioned. While India still faces significant wealth inequality, recent data from the UNDP (Multidimensional Poverty Index) suggests that India has actually lifted over 415 million people out of poverty in the last 15 years. The “official” poverty line is now much lower, though the “living standard” remains a major concern.
* Nutrition & Health: Investing in the “First 1000 Days” of a child’s life to prevent stunting—this is the only way to ensure the future workforce is physically and mentally capable.
* Social Reform: Education is the best “contraceptive” for overpopulation and the best cure for superstition and child marriage.
5. The “Unity in Diversity” Factor
The USA and China have different approaches to national identity. India’s challenge is to find Unity without Uniformity.
* Constitutional Patriotism: Building a sense of pride based on shared democratic values and economic success, rather than religious or linguistic identity.
* Administrative Reform: To solve “delayed decisions,” India may need to empower local municipal governments more, similar to how US states or Chinese provinces have significant autonomy to drive growth.
Summary Table: The Path Forward
| Feature | Current State | The Goal |
| Economy | Consumption-led / Informal | Investment-led / Formalized |
| Education | Degree-focused / Rote learning | Skill-focused / R&D oriented |
| Bureaucracy | Red Tape / Delayed | Red Carpet / Digitized |
| Society | Fractured by identity | Unified by economic goal |
India’s path is harder because it chooses to grow within a democracy. China grew by command; India must grow by consensus. This takes longer, but it is often more resilient in the long run.
