Here are my reasons 1. Our Infrastructure is in a disastrous shape compared to China 2. We only talk while they plan and act on their plans 3. Our leadership is weak and inept. Our government is here to enjoy power and make money. We conveniently hide under the excuse of being a democracy. 4. We fear larger powers and seek a superpower to back us but we dont know how to strike mega deals and do business with both our friends and enemies. 5. We live in the past, either talking about aryabhatta or how the chinese invaded us. We dont plan strategically to dominate the global economy. 6. We lack discipline, we are a chaotic bunch who just cannot follow rules. Just look at our traffic jams. Above all, I would still rate infrastructure the top factor, because it is something we can fix if we put our heart and soul into it. But if you want to change the Indian psyche or the fiend inside that creature called the indian politician, I would say - just forget it, its a lost cause.
Now lets pass some beer around and boast how we are going to beat Chinese asses in the next decade.... CHEERS!!

I agree with you, 1. They get down to business and dont have ten different agencies each blocking the other. 2. I dont like their disregard for the environment but the rail to Lhasa and roads in Tibet may not cause as much damage as their Seven Gorges Dam. On the same note, our environmental situation is worse. Our rivers are nothing but large sewers and chemicals and pesticides are all over. Cholera, amebiasis and hepatitis is rife. Leprosy tuberculosis and polio is still thriving in India. We cannot even blame it all on development. 3. China always understates their figures not to attract more trouble and american anger. They are probably growing at 17-18% and their dollar surpluses may be more. That is why they are buying up oil fields everywhere and metal supplies from all the south american countries. 4. Their poor labourers are doing way better than indians. We are famous for starvation deaths. The best way is to compare slums. Our slums can easily put the chinese slums to shame. Jai Dharavi!
