China is decades ahead of us. They did it and the gap will remain because they didn't exclude most of their population by adopting Chinese language everywhere unlike India. They focused on work and results, not glitz and glamour of feeling Western and speaking English

We are like that guy studying for board exams who copies how the last few toppers talked, what they wore, how they spoke etc, thinking this will help. But refuse to study the really hard things. Plus we are way too much divided on religions, cultures, regionalisms and castes. Even Pakistan and Bangladesh are better united than us frankly!! Having a homogenous society is much more of a blessing than what the media and elites keep preaching to us. This is the reality of all developed countries. And they don't depend on their billionaires and pray for trickle down economics to come to the rest of us!!
