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

This begs the question.
Another Example from Greek Mythology: Hippomenes and Atalanta race. [This is a warning to my country, the USA, really]

How do I build muscle easily with isometrics?
India has a space program that seeks to reap military as well as civilian benefits in this so-called race which there is none.
Any suitor, who wanted to win speedy Atalantaâs hand would have to beat her in a race and if they lose, they would lose their heads.
These Airports are an Ecosystem, where Iâm far more âcomfortableâ and have a more âpleasurable experienceâ than at La Guardia Airport or JFK Airport in New York $hitty. (misspelled intentionally).

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. âExperienceâ is the key here.

Iâm 17 and looking for a girl. What do I do?
The other factor is TIME. This is where the paradox comes in.
Hippomenes distracting the speedy Atalanta to win the race and also her hand in marriage
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 âlaggingâ behind them.
Another Eco System, where you donât have to apologize. đđđ
Many lost their heads, as they looked behind to see if Atalanta was gaining on them . Hippomenes was given a head start by Atalanta.
Give yourselves a round of applause. đđđ

Thanks for the request Nagarajan Sir. Sorry for the delay, it is tax filing time.
Why am I sweating so much at night even though my room is really cold?
Also, what does âAheadâ and âBehindâ really mean?
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.
Would that be logical? Yes!
Hippomenes won the hand in marriage of Atalanta following a running race by distracting her by tossing âgolden applesâ whenever, he thought, she was gaining on him.
So, if China were at all worried, like Hippomenes, that India would overtake them in this âraceâ that they are not worried about, then they will like Hippomenes toss some thorny crab apples* to distract the nattering classes in India.
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.
What is it that you folks wants to âCatch upâ here??? Just asking not telling.
Malls and Cinema Metroplexes
Coming back to Greek Philosophy this time.
So no harm for Indians to âcopyâ the technology obtained by sweat and tears and expense of billions of dollars or rubles over decades by the big Two.
The model that prompts such a question is based on a âCircus Maximusâ 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.
So, here is my proposition.
And it does not matter, if the technology was invented in Timbuktoo, Africa. Copy Paste, Repeat.
Here it is an Eco-system where both Dung and Vishwa seem to be competing for the race to the bottom of the well. đ
Never understood what it meant, but now in the winter of my years, I now realize what that means. đ
Not many will agree with Zeno, because he is a Mlechha Yavana Barbarian.đđafter all.
Traffic on Roads. Well, experiences in India. đ
Nemawashi: Small incremental improvements, that make your daily experiences better in whatever âEcosystemâ, you have to interact with.
Malls and Cineplexes in the US are dying⊠and descrepit (Thank you Amazon and Netfix) ⊠So experience wise, you folks have it good. đđđ
This so-called race is in my opinion, a Phantasm, that only exists in peopleâs 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.
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!
Well for starters, âVishwa Parihasa â must run at a âfasterâ pace than âDung Po Pew â.
Anyone, who looks behind to see whoâs 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.
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).
China did that and still does that too. And I canât understand complaints by the US and Russians here.
Instead of giving GDP numbers, GDP/Capita and all those Statistics to make you feel good or bad, I decided to answer Nagarajan Sirâs question in the form of a long meandering discourse.

There is the Greek Philosopher Zenoâs paradox.
Let us assume that the Polity called âDung Poo Pew â is ahead of the Polity called âVishwa Parihasaâ in some mythical race.

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.
