SIMPLE AS.

They're both Asian countries with a billion people that faced British colonialism and have Dharmic cultural backgrounds with minorities of Abrahamics.
What's holding India back exactly?

>>216522710
left is laid back. cozier. right is too artificial and uptight of a society.

>>216522710
No matter how backward shithole China was, we must not forget that in terms of centralization and bureaucratization, however inefficient, they were not significantly behind the great powers.
Similarly, those who claim Korea was sub-Saharan Africa-tier just decades ago overlook this point. Skipping the minefield of power struggles among dozens of tribes and starting ahead is a tremendous advantage.

>>216522710
India sticked into its traditions and cultural roots
chinks sold its soul and kept building shitty soulless husks of a building everywhere

>>216522710
China imposed Han supremacy, beat the villagers into becoming civilised.
Here anything like that would result in a civil war, balkanisation etc.
Benefits of letting lower classes get voting rights.

>>216522710
>Dharmic cultural backgrounds
India's caste system is too rigid and I also don't think they have a philosophy comparable to Confucianism.
China is collective in the sense that the actions of one person doom or elevate his entire family. They practiced extremely efficient eugenics for thousands of years by holding entire families responsible to receive any punishment or merit.

>>216522770
The efficiency of the Chinese bureaucracy was so universal and long-lasting that it was baked into folk religion, where the afterlife had the same sort of government and bureaucracy as the world before.

>>216522887
I was just thinking about how politically incorrect Zhuge Liang's conquering of the Nanman tribes were.
India's differences are insanely complex, I didn't know that Jains, Hindus, Buddhists etc had so many sub-sections and don't always get along. The best course of action would have been to allow folk religions but impose the same lifestyles, government, etc

Even Nazism is made in china these days baka. The west can't produce ANYTHING on its own

>>216522710
China looks like the left the moment you leave the inner cities.

>>216522959
shu han never conquered the nanman, only subjugated them, they tributed in manpower but never adopted han bureaucracy, they were just as tribal as ever

China belongs to the Jurchen ( my ancestors ;) )

India honestly looks more fun to travel than China basing off those pictures alone

bumping this thread because i'll post comparison shots of my own

>>216522690 (OP)
>>216526005
first one. took these in Delhi & Shanghai

second one. Kolkata & Shenzhen
>>216524511
India is insane, but I liked it so much that I'm already planning another trip there for next year. If you go, you'll come back with hundreds of stories to tell people.

last one. Mumbai & Beijing. draw your own conclusions

here's a guy who actually compared a 2nd tier city in China to a 1st tier city in india.

>>216526953
Thanks, but I'm posting from the perspective of a tourist to show how easy it is to take similar shots of both countries. I'm not trying to push a narrative on whether x country is superior to y because that ultimately depends on each persons own preferences and desires. I'd recommend anyone in this thread to visit both if they ever have the chance to.
