Frankly it’s the Indians who respond to anything and everything remotely critical of India with “well Pakistan blah blah blah.” Even when, as demonstrated in my previous post, their accusations are completely false. It’s like a bloody reflex.
I agree.
India does a much better job of marketing itself to the outside world. People in Europe and North America seem to ignore the fact that the masses of India are every bit as poor as the people of Sub-Saharan Africa, and instead focus on software and call centers. It has also done a better job at maintaining at least the cosmetic appearance of a functional democracy…though again, a lot of this is more of an issue of how India presents itself to the outside world as opposed to actual reality.
