Is it safe to say that China is at least 30 years ahead of India?

Well for starters, “Vishwa Parihasa ” must run at a ‘faster’ pace than “Dung Po Pew ”.
Any suitor, who wanted to win speedy Atalanta’s hand would have to beat her in a race and if they lose, they would lose their heads.
Look instead at Pockets of Comfort created within your immediate environs.
What's the funniest thing you heard in a movie theater?
AQI (Air Quality Index) Delhi and Beijing… stinks to high heavens. Equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes/day even for the non-smoker.

What is it that you folks wants to ‘Catch up” here??? Just asking not telling.
Housing: When I land in Hyderabad and travel through Cyber City, I feel like I’m in China.
This paradox argues that Viswa Parihasa, a swifter than Dung runner, can never overtake the slower Dung Poo Pew, who has a head start by the way, because by the time Viswa Parihasa reaches the Dung's starting point, Dung will have moved forward, and Viswa must then catch up to that new position, repeating this process… ad infinitum.
I’ve heard this proverb before: Fools build Houses and Wise Men live in them.
Petty Corruption. My mainland Chinese American friends, who travel back and forth to China assure me that petty Corruption is well and alive in China and the ranking by Transparency International, which monitors ‘perception of corruption’ in nations, ranks both India and China about equal. So that seems about right. 🙄
I land at Hyderabad or Bangalore Airports. The airports are spotless, well maintained, orderly and the people follow all the rules, the security is run smoothly like clockwork. The Uber and Taxi System is excellent and smoothly run. So is the Baggage Carousel, Immigration, Customs, etc. etc. WOW!
So, if China were at all worried, like Hippomenes, that India would overtake them in this “race” that they are not worried about, then they will like Hippomenes toss some thorny crab apples* to distract the nattering classes in India.
Look at each individual Eco-system within your immediate environs, that works in your land, in your local Area and if you are not discomfited, then all is fine. “Experience” is the key here.
How long would it take for “Vishwa Parihasa ” to catch up with “Dung Po Pew”.
D-Marts etc.
Also, what does “Ahead” and “Behind” really mean?
Airports: ECO-SYSTEM.
And it does not matter, if the technology was invented in Timbuktoo, Africa. Copy Paste, Repeat.
Who is the most annoying character in the Office?
There is the Greek Philosopher Zeno’s paradox.
Malls and Cineplexes in the US are dying… and descrepit (Thank you Amazon and Netfix) … So experience wise, you folks have it good. 👏👏👏
Afterall, Whatsapp, FB, mobile smart phones, have all helped us interact as well as avoid pesky and nosy neighbors and relatives.
Have you ever been spanked in front of a group of people?
Don’t compare, Don’t Complain.
Now, it is an experience that is just as good or not as good as any Bank Office in the US or China or any where else.
So, here is my proposition.

Malls and Cinema Metroplexes
Not many will agree with Zeno, because he is a Mlechha Yavana Barbarian.😂😂after all.
You were “Waiting for your “Dough”
Why do some guys treat girls so badly?
Coming back to Greek Philosophy this time.
Give yourself an applause here. 👏👏👏
Don’t constantly engage in below the navel gazing, if you know what I mean and most of all Don’t Complain; or at least not so much.
What are the causes of over sweating?
Hospitals
Anyone, who looks behind to see who’s on their heel. will befall the same fate as all the suitors of the lovely Atalanta in Greek Mythology, who was the fastest runner in the world.
Instead of giving GDP numbers, GDP/Capita and all those Statistics to make you feel good or bad, I decided to answer Nagarajan Sir’s question in the form of a long meandering discourse.
India has a space program that seeks to reap military as well as civilian benefits in this so-called race which there is none.
There is no shame, if one wants to repeat the technology, that was developed by the pioneers such as Russia and the US. The guide book and protocols are all there to emulate (Copy).
Not true in many other areas of the country. 🙄

Nemawashi: Small incremental improvements, that make your daily experiences better in whatever “Ecosystem”, you have to interact with.
It is the same situation, when I learn Newton’s Laws or Calculus. I can freely learn it without breaking much of a sweat. Use some else’s Gyanodayam for literally free.
But I thought, I would include it just for kicks and clicks. 😏
Some Examples
So what I’m suggesting is that rather than constantly comparing and tearing one’s clothes in agony, employ what the Japanese call “Nemawashi” and Poka Yoke

China is a polity; India is a polity. So far so good.

I generally don’t place a time scale on who is ahead or who is behind and by how many years in this “Game of Nations”.
The model that prompts such a question is based on a “Circus Maximus” model in which Chariot races were run in ancient Rome, where Individual Nations in this example, are run like Chariots. Some are ahead, while some are behind and we are all spectators here.
This so-called race is in my opinion, a Phantasm, that only exists in people’s mind and I would wager that this Phantasm chiefly exists, it seems in India- which is looking at China with a mixture of envy and jealousy.
This begs the question.
China did that and still does that too. And I can’t understand complaints by the US and Russians here.
Another Example from Greek Mythology: Hippomenes and Atalanta race. [This is a warning to my country, the USA, really]
Again, in any urban setting in India, the Malls are an eco-system as good as any experience in China.
I don’t know. I know that if I were young, my sex drive would plummet, Viagra or not.
Maybe I should Poka Yoke and Nemawashi my writings as well. 😂😂
Your Corner D-Marts gave me the same “experience” as any that I had in Japan, China or Korea.
What is so magical about 30?
Hippomenes distracting the speedy Atalanta to win the race and also her hand in marriage
Traffic on Roads. Well, experiences in India. 🙄
But is this what we want to emulate? I don’t know the answer to that?
Any Bank in an urban setting, used to be the equivalent of the famous play by Samuel Becket “Waiting for Godot”, except back then in India, decades ago.
Excellent staff from all over India. Amazing competence and professionalism shown by all from Doctors to Nurses to technicians, even the lift staff. 👏👏👏
The other factor is TIME. This is where the paradox comes in.
Viswa Parihasa and Dung Poo Pew Parodox per Zeno
Before Desi eyes go somber and tearful, let me explain.
And the plummeting birth rate in China and the aversion to marriage in China and even sex, among the young is increasing exponentially, seems to point to that.
Zeno’s answer: NEVER.😫
Thanks for the request Nagarajan Sir. Sorry for the delay, it is tax filing time.
Would that be logical? Yes!
Beyond that how logical would it be for one to pick a number based on the number of trips, the Planet Earth makes around the Sun?
These Airports are an Ecosystem, where I’m far more ‘comfortable” and have a more ‘pleasurable experience’ than at La Guardia Airport or JFK Airport in New York $hitty. (misspelled intentionally).
Another Eco System, where you don’t have to apologize. 👏👏👏
Many lost their heads, as they looked behind to see if Atalanta was gaining on them . Hippomenes was given a head start by Atalanta.
Let us assume that the Polity called “Dung Poo Pew ” is ahead of the Polity called “Vishwa Parihasa” in some mythical race.
Brevity is the soul of wit, but what can I say… Verbosity is the soul of a Twit. And I admit to being Verbose.
Hippomenes won the hand in marriage of Atalanta following a running race by distracting her by tossing “golden apples” whenever, he thought, she was gaining on him.
Apollo… Yashoda
Never understood what it meant, but now in the winter of my years, I now realize what that means. 😁
Here it is an Eco-system where both Dung and Vishwa seem to be competing for the race to the bottom of the well. 🙄
Not the distant unheard of thunder from climes and places, thousands of miles away.
Poka Yoke: Make the design of the systems, so that even “village idiots” (there are many) won’t be able to make things worse in the Eco-system and ruin your experiences.
To Indians, Crab Apples are wild apples that are extremely bitter, but are used to make Apple Cider- an alcoholic beverage, much safer to drink, than polluted water, back in the day.
Now for some areas of discomfort.
Give yourselves a round of applause. 👏👏👏
They, in turn, have eyes only for the Good Ole USA.
I will even wager one of my shares in JD. Com ( a Chinese MNC) that most Chinese are not even bothered to see, if India is “lagging” behind them.
Peace and good luck to all.
That is all that matters really.
ECOSYSTEMS where the citizens experiences need to improve.
High rise in China below:
So no harm for Indians to “copy” the technology obtained by sweat and tears and expense of billions of dollars or rubles over decades by the big Two.
