90% Indians have:
Smartphone from East Asia
Laptop from China/USA
TV from East Asia
Car from East Asia
Soft drinks from USA
Fast Food from USA
This is why East Asia/USA is rich. Everyone buys their products.
We need to also export our products globally to become wealthier.
@ashoswai What matters more? Democracy or indicators like life expectancy/household wealth per capita/GDP per capita/child malnutrition/ Physicians per capita?
@dhume Don't be naive. The masses are easily swayed by the opinions of these 'pop stars'. Some of these "pop stars" don't even know that the farm laws will benefit India in the long term.
@bainjal It's about the number of infections/capita. India has 4X more people than USA. So it doesn't make sense to compare absolute number of infections with the US.
It's disgraceful to see the defacing of the Gandhi statue in DC. #Gandhi was a pioneer of peaceful protesting, demonstrating the great change it can bring. Rioting, looting and vandalizing do not bring us together.
@DrSJaishankar@ASIGoI It should be known that South-East Asian was a major Hindu cultural center. Most Indians think that the largest Hindu temple is in India. However, it is in Cambodia (Angkor Wat).
@tanuj_garg People seem to not know that the Indonesian archipelago was a majority Hindu region up until the 13th century. So lots of the culture of the region still has roots in Hinduism. For example, their national emblem is the Garud.
@ashoswai Well, Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi both were also nationalists. He wanted the British out so India could become a free, independent and prosperous nation. Nationalism is a good thing, not bad.
@sonamakapoor His 1st part (the claim) is true. However, his 2nd part (the reason) isn't true as divorce has multiple causes such as unhappy marriage, infidelity etc.
@bombaywallah Some things need to be done through force. India integrated Hyderabad (in 1948) and Goa (in 1961) into India through force. India can't always allow foreigners with an agenda to stir up agitations.

@shikhadalmia Japan developed through dictatorship in the late 1800s.
China has developed immensely through dictatorship.
The UK developed through dictatorship (colonialism).
The 'end' justifies the 'means', not the other way round.
Mount Sinabung on Indonesia's Sumatra island recently erupted, sending a massive column of ash and smoke into the air and coating local villages in debris.
Watch even after the screen becomes totally black .#wrathofnature
India is focussing on reproduction instead of 'development'.
China is focussing on development, not reproduction.
India needs to provide jobs. Otherwise there will be mass unemployment.

@channeldraw@tengbiao Yes Hong Kong has autonomy but Hong Kong is still in China. So why the big fuss?
Its like saying Jammu & Kashmir isn't part of India.
World's most famous Superheros:
Batman
Superman
Spiderman
Ironman
X-Men
All of these are from USA.
That's one reason how USA is rich. Everyone globally watches their movies.
We need to start exporting our superhero movies globally to increase our global soft power.
