India

Liscence Raj and later liberalization.

But how did a really poorly-run formally Communist China, beat India 1990-present?

>>1263348
China just keeps spamming local governments to increase their GDP to keep them in check

>>1263348
Open defection and the ensuing infant diseases.

>>1263348
Bad infrastructure.
And i guess the chinese work like ants because communism

I might be retarded, but what even is the system that GDP is calculated by?
Can you fudge your numbers? I've heard accusations about that in the past.

Whenever they have a development project, scores of religious, cultural and ethnic authorities work against each other, NIMBY to the extreme

Chinese might be corrupt, but in India the corruption is much more wasteful

The various Indian states actively work against each other due to historic grudges

China maybe went overboard with the cultural revolution, but at least now they don't have a strong caste system like the Indians. Who knows how many potential entrapanours and scientists are hidden in the shacks of the lowborn?

Ridiculous religious tolenrance, honor killings, slavery, and many other uncivilized practices are condoned to avoid India collapsing in sectarian struggly. China is officially atheist and does have near the same amount of subhuman behaviour (even outlawing fasting on Ramadan)

Sure, but no one can deny that India has begun to lag far behind China, since their population growth roughly follows their economic growth, which hampers their development

Yes, but China is undeniably far ahead of India by any metric.

Centralization is probably the biggest difference between the two. When both were developing, a centralized government can make decisions and assign resources/capital much more efficient when a nation is heavily starved on resources/capital. The fact that China focused a lot more on education and infrastructure than India during the Mao era also contributed.

All workers worked like ants before the labor right movements.

Ahh ok

It's not difficult to look at imports/exports to get a sense of growth.
