Some correction on the above post: "You said India lacks wealth and has hardly produced anything substantial in the past to command respect as opposed to Western Civilizations and the wealth created is a good indicator of its capabilities."
should be read as: You said India lacks wealth and has hardly produced anything substantial in the past to command respect as opposed to Western Civilizations. But you contradict the comprehension that the wealth created by India was 25% of the world which is a good indicator of its capabilities then.
