Remember everything is relative.

Compared to India's peasants there is no comparison whatsoever.

Especially considering all of the Indians that literally live on the streets due to the lack of land reform.

No one has stated that China is perfect, however India is in much worse shape clearly.

Why do you think the outside world has ZERO respect for India and Indians? Remember China itself was once known as the the sick man of Asia worldwide, and it has come very far from that.

The democratic republic of India is impotent, corrupt and incompetent just like the republic of china was. Now having said that I am not a communist, I support nationalism.

A better comparison would be pakistan's (a chinese puppet state) peasants to India's peasants rather than China.

Whether China is heaven or not, they're certainly grabbing more and more earth - particularly at our expense.

Read my post on China's theft of our land over the past 2 decades.
