A friend of mine,a senior IAS officer in a southern state describes a situation in China which he visited a year back. Upon landing in China he was surprised to find a number of University PROFESSORS ,not business men,nor administrators,queuing up with offers to set up fast-track,hi-tech firms in India on a turnkey basis on a variety of technologies!!
We say China's is an authoritarian Government,but which Professor in any of our Universities ever has the trio of Vision, Capability and Empowerment to give such offers in our own country where even to get a bottle of water to be analysed takes upto two weeks!The difference lies probably in the following:
With few exceptions on either side, the Chinese Politicians think CHINA is their OWN SELF while Indian politicians think THEIR OWN SELF is INDIA.
If we have answer to this Conundrum we have found our route to Vision 2020!
