China and India
by Mohanan Parachottil on Oct 15, 2007 09:41 PM

While the changes in China is indeed amazing given its size, there is nothing to ape for India. Considering the rural-urban and rich-poor divide in this communist country, we should be happy we have a society that shows much more concern about inequality and deprivation as indicated by massive targeted programs for employment, food security, education and the proposed social security measures for the informal workers.
The open society and the debates (albeit a bit too long) is what makes living in this country any time much more preferable than in China.
