  1. i'm afraid you don't deserve hatred. pity for indian people, contempt for indian rulers - that seems more likely. the two nations were very roughly in a similar position 100 years ago, china has transformed itself into the highest level of technical civilization, india lags behind. it should be a matter of shame, but indian rulers choose aggression, instead. china stumbled into the idea of a public service almost 2000 years ago, and it has a new manifestation in the communist party, modern mandarins. so they are capable of concerted effort with central direction. currently they are the most effective society in the world. their history is unique, and their chief competitor, usa, is rotten, in the grip of greed and arrogance. india cannot emulate china, modi boasts india will surpass china, with no visible evidence. india must find its own path to modern life, but its problems are many and progress will continue to be slow, and not helped by empty boasting.
