Economically, militarily, politically China is growing much faster than India. Its become a fashion in India to point at China and say, "What progress!"
Before I go further let me honestly state that I have a strong bias against China. I feel the political system, social hierarchy strongly exploitative. I can not call a revolution a 'social revolution' when it is rises and survives on the lives of multitude of common citizens, however noble the goal may be. I fail to call it a 'developed' or 'progressed' nation where battle tanks are rolled over young men lying on the road, protesting silently. I thank God that I dont have to feel proud of such a country as 'My Nation'. I surely wouldn't want even my enemy to have to lead a horrendous life of a chinese miner. I am sure I dont even want to be the cruel owner of such mines.
I can not count the number of time I have felt grateful to God for sending Mahatma Gandhi to my country at the time. Had he not carved and guided the philosophy and ethics of Independent India, I dont know what path we would have walked.
It surprises me no end that people and the countries preaching morality and claiming moral superiority are so silent towards the state of humanity in China. The same people are vociferous about the plight of muslim women, but dont have even a drop of tear or a bit of voice about the state of miners and industrial workers in China. Maybe they are afraid that if they speak up it may cause the wages in China to go up. That would mean rise in prices of chinese goods. If prices go up people may buy less and if people buy less then what would happen to 'economy'?
LONG LIVE ECONOMY ! ! !
Somebody noted that its probably the first time that Nobel prize for Economics has been given to a non-quanitative work. The critic went on to say that the time has come for economics to learn from its closed realtives - psychology and sociology.
