@anmolpatel793 and that went right over you head. There is a fine line between moulding a childs behaviour using a carrot stick policy and physical/mental/emotional abuse. I am an Indian and i've gotten my fare share and i wouldnt say that it was good, but the lessons i learned under pain stay with me, call it traumaif you want, but when i look back irs not resentment but gratitude i have for learning what i have, love and affection go hand in hand with punishment, the cost of too much freedom without repercussions will undoubtedly lead to reckless behaviour at a crucial developmental stage, most indian parents at times dole out punishments for perceived slights, that pretty much defeats the purpose and use of punishments. You seem to be under the impression that punishment automatically implies phyisical torture, perhaps your experience is different, also the liberal wing in india has been critical of corporal punishment for children, they are only partly right, it depends on how the parents use it and the child's temperament.

@sampadmohanty8573 @Sampad Mohanty the irony in your statement is just hilarious, what multidimensional parameters do you find overlapping between countries like Japan, China, Taiwan and S.Korea.
Throwing in buzzwords like geopolitics without understanding what it is just plain embarrising as to India's favorable demography We are yet to have a functional set of labour laws as to the East Asian states, they are remarkably homogenous ethnically and linguistically that allows for political consolidation thats impossible in India at the federal level (at the state level, maybe) plus India's political scene is fundamentally left leaning populist, that pretty much scuttles any chance for pragmatic outcome driven governance and organizational flexibility. We dont have a Li Kwoh Ting or a Morris Chang, we dont have Keirutsus to rely on, even if we get anything running the INDIAN DEMOCRACY wont allow them to take off. plus the environmental effects of fabs make it just too untenable, The Indian public will behave like the Indian Public. We what happened to the copper smelting plant right ?. Get your head out of your Ass.
India will never be where china was last decade, not in this century. The core of India was decided and structured to be a populist cesspit and it shall be so until its restuctured. OP ie right Silicon Valley's prominance came from giants like William Shockley's efforts as well as a very favourable business and Scientific ecosystem(Uni's without political interferance) that even now permeates the American system though in different regions than in the past.
Lets talk about China, Taiwan and Japan and Singapore.
Taiwan had support from Chang and Philips same goes for Singapore. Japan had first mover advantage and a very competant state bureaucracy which India cant conjure even in her dreams. Plus all these states had pretty much crushed an kind of left wing politicians and/or movements, Dont see that happeneing in India(May be in Andhra pradesh but even then, too much is required of our politicians)

@Bialy_1 @Biały you werent listening. Having a lot of people is not a metric for success for any nation, its the ethnolinguistic and sociocultural and make of that society that aids in its political development, Malaysia, Taiwan, South Korea and Even China have remarkably clear and consolidated majorities that speak the same language and believe in pretty much same things, thats a huge bonus India simply doesnt not have at the federal level, you'd only find that at the state level, even then India's fetish for democracy and rights over everything else means nothing will ever get done as a politics always takes priority over governance. India is a collection of strong regional nationalities unlike the other the states that i compared it to, the fact that you find what i said laughable just shows how much you dont know what the hell you are talking about, I mean if numbers alone could guarantee a countries development Nigeria, Ethiopia and the Central African Republic should all have been bastions of brilliance and technological and economic success,instead they are poor developing but poor despite their natural wealth in oil, Rivers and minerals they are poor. I am not excusing India's Incompetance but merely pointing out why India is the way it is. So next time learn to read between the lines.

@Ravish_Bhasin again you fail to understand the simple reality that Bureaucracies have a huge role in how these capital intensive projects especially ones that require active government buy ins work. Even if SCL broke the challenges, scaling it would have reqiured more capital than India could afford to have spared at the time. Nuclear adventure was ill advised but hey hindsight is always 20/20, we had the tech to make a nuke since before the eighties, the tests were just to prove a point, we would always win a conventional war with the pakies but kicking it up a notch gave them the incentive to go nuclear created the stale mate we are in, countries like Botswana are prime example for not going to picking up the gauntlet when it suits them. Avoiding a war should always be our intend but winning it on the strategic level should always be our objective, this again comes back ti the point i was making about incompetant bureaucracies and govt setups, we are yet to cut down the IOF's or at the very least reform them to be more efficient and competitive, but Trade unionists have a strong say in how that pans out, it would require overwhelming political will, in which regards Modi is slipping, due to his unnecessary misadventures.

@hydrolifetech7911 Pray Tell where are those great empires now ? It took China 2000+ years to consolidate to reach their Han majority, Mongolians have pretty much gone into hiding.
Iran retreated to its mountainous peninsular strong hold shedding its minorites in the periphery and despite the occasional genocide through out the years Persians still make up barely half of Iran and that shows (Azerbaijan a neighbouring state has explicitly made claims against land occupied by Iran's Azeri population and their sizable minority populations of different ethnic groups are one of the many reason why iran maintains a large paramilitary force, let me spell it out for you >for internal control< )
Rome splintered back onto its peninsular stronghold shedding its minority dominated regions, Ottomans retreated to their stronghold on the peninsular plateau and cut the dead weight of its minorities(Arabs and Greeks were quite happy, Armenians and Kurds not so much) allowing them to consolidate their numerical strength under Mustafa Kemal's vision of an ethnolinguistic majority state courtesy of European influence (only other military guy after Park Chung He>right wing guy< to successfully support the growth of a nation's Industrial+ Technological expansion.)
Every European state worth its salt has had an ethno linguistic majority that was the driving factor behind its Economic/Industrial/Technological advancements.
Japan has the Yamato People.
South Korea has.. well.
China has the Han majority.
Same as Singapore(Ironically for all its multiculturalism Singapore still favors chinese immigrants because ?
They arent stupid).
Malaysia(literally carved a majority from scratch, the Bumiputras) UMNO was the founding party for a reason.
Thailand has the Thais,
Vietnam and Bangladesh(rising powers with secure demographics with a single large majority on ethnic linguistic and religious lines though from a geographical standpoint their weaknesses are palpable ).
Western settler states built their nations over time based on skin colour(simple and stupidly intelligent if you think about it (phenotypical similarities to create a sense of familiarity and foster oneness) minus the racism its easier to build a society if everybody feels a sense of kinship towards eachother, old countries achieved that through ethnic and linguistic identities, whil the settler states used the template of Northern European skin colour, which allowed them to consolidate political power under a single group and achieve great technological and economic feats.).
Taiwan specifically had a mainlander minority but their military govt and mandated language training created an integrative effort and their administrative track record helped in cementing their legitimacy plus divisions aside they are still Hans.
Even in Africa, countries like Morocco, Botswana(Tswanas) or even Ghana(with a nebulous relative majority of the Akan people)are more functional than Ethiopia or Nigeria or S.Africa(whites are just one of the minorities there). I live in India and I can pinpoint the states that suffer from a variety of diversities and the consequences that have on their political system.
I am not even going to go into Europe the French imposed their language on regional minorities and forbade discrimination and enforced assimilation and integration under a single language without minority contenders. Germans started planning to be a country even before they became one why ? because they could(their customs union, Canal network, national rail system are a result of their sense or at least understanding of the necessity of unity in a backyard with multiple power players like Russia, France, UK and Sweden).
Thats not even counting the various Scandinavian states the Swedes have their law of Jante to self police and enforce conformity and its neighbours have their own iterations of the same.
Countries with bickering Diversity/multicultural fetishizers wont be able to achieve even 1/5th of what these countries achieved even if they had twice or thrice that time.
Unity is strength, diversity by definition either engenders or outright foster existing divisions and differences.
US lost its white majority and the consequences are yet to begin, I would say the same thing if it were a similarily educated and numerous black majority, The point is You need them and cant lose them.
Calling it 'right wing xenophobia' merely exposes your obnoxious, delusional and disassociated understanding of reality and history.
Most western idiots who champion diversity and/or multiculturalism have never known it or its consequences. Its new, it's novel, it gives you warm fuzzies, that's well and good, Just don't bother inflicting your crap on others because when it fails and its 'when' not 'if' you wont be alive to live with the consequences, Its your progeny and their successors that suffer.
Reply if you think you dont have a cognitively challenged opinion.
