: Prashant Chakravarty, the west is ahead of us in most ways because they dont mind learning from others.
If India has to develop, we need to give up this ego and admit that we have a lot to learn from everyone.
Reg. "Only a fool can compare India with USA or Europe who are 300 yrs plus old democracies while we are only 60 years." if we have to develop, we have to compare with countries who are great.
If you want to improve in a particular field, compare yourself with the greatest.
Would you have been happier if India was compared to crappy countries rather than USA/Europe? I would have felt it is an insult not to compare India with USA/Europe?
