China to build world's biggest dam near border; India waits & watches | India News - Times of India

The staggering difference in both fiscal, military and geopolitical power and influence that two neighbouring countries have is absolutely mind-boggling. At a time, when private consumption in India is falling with each month along with rise in inflation, unemployment, low wages, it seems that China has now poised itself to be a global behemoth in the next decade outsing the U.S's influence on the world order. What's more depressing is instead of even acknowledging that we are in a severe state of economic decline along side the bracket of third-world countries, our politicians are fighting like monkeys outside the Parliament and displaying more drama than in an Indian movie. It appears that the next decade will prove to have a pivotal role in the shaping of the country for years to come. What are your thoughts on the current state of India? Let me know in the comments.
