Greetings to the Politburo!
Let us start with a good news. Indians call us Chinki-s. And so do they call the inhabitants of the Chinese territory they claim as their "North-East". It seems that they secretly 'know' its ours!
Long back when China was illiterate, we have tamed our huge population, with our Chairman's favorite - bullets. Now that illiteracy in China is extinct, we can do that with our strictly controlled media.
Its a lot different here in India. Although a third of India's population is still illiterate officially, we have a fair hunch that it is more widespread given the cheap gimmicks that Indian politicians perform to get support - a concept they call Democracy. People are controlled mainly by false promises - which form one of the basic foundations of India's Democracy. Media is free from Government's control, but is largely controlled by money to iterate between the zillion scams unfolding everyday. Nothing is followed up till the end. Indians profoundly believe that after all, its the journey that matters, not the destination.
There is one metric in which China will love to lose the first spot to India. In the next fifteen years, India will be the most populous country in the world. Some fools here - even those without turbans, think it is a great feat. While we managed to strictly imposed our binding one-child policy, India's two-child policy is non binding. Even their prominent political leaders flaunt ten children. And they will be completing this so called feat with an interesting demographical statistic. The capital and the adjoining north-western states already well known for their low sex ratio - caused by rampant sex-selective foeticide and infanticide. People in these areas see their newborn children as a means to earn money - by a proudly held custom called Dowry. The girl's side pays the boy's side a huge sum of unaccounted money for no bloody reason at all! By the way, this custom is termed illegal from the very inception of the Indian state. But like everything bad, it is passe as custom. We are still utterly confused about how such lawlessness can thrive so perfectly.
Back in China, we groom bright children to have good education and end up in the Communist Party's important posts. And so we have Engineers and scientists among our ministers and important state officials. In India, a typical politician would be an illiterate convict who would be a blood relation to someone else already in the government. Your good characteristics do not determine your political destiny. In fact, it may work as a disadvantage. With personalities towering over ideologies, India aptly deserves a monarchy.
In China's communism, government workers have learned (arguably the hard way :) ) to be hard working. Indian people vie for Government posts to get a reprieve from working. The so called right to strike have made our communist namesakes here our unofficial agents. In the name of seeking worker rights, they have managed to make India utterly unproductive. State run hospitals, banks, and manufacturing units are known for their profound inefficiency. The rich, powerful and informed keep away from them.
India also provides protection to the so called backward communities, and reserves a certain portions of government jobs for these people. In the India social chemistry, this translates to communities competing with each other for being recognized as backward!
All of India's sporting feats are out of individual brilliance. The role of the State being a big zero. Had they been Chinese we would have groomed them to world champions. Almost all funds meant for development of sports, and even international sporting events are looted openly. Something which would have won the looter a firing squad in China.
Let alone Beijing and Shanghai, India's huge cities do not compare even close to our second grade ones. Most cities are heaps of filth, wrapped with bumpy roads, covered with slums, with the unruly traffic signals, bugged with beggar syndicates.
Our dear friends on the Western frontiers are continuously providing constant support to destabilize India. But it seems Indians do not need this spoon feeding, they are already helping themselves.
And last of all, things here are not improving soon - Indians are not interested in changing anything.

As you will be knowing, the Indian state claims to be non religious - the government's activities are not determined by religion (as opposed to China's irreligious - the Communist party is officially irreligious), there is not a single politician here who has the 'gun mein dum' (yep, sounds like Mandarin, but means courage locally) to claim himself as an atheist - not even the mainstream communists. Religion and religious favoritism form the core of India's politics. And to add to this confusion, there are multiple sections within the prominent religion, sworn foes to one another, always fighting over "Chairman knows what"! In the stead of leaders leading the people, Indians have a bunch of followers fanning their most immature sentiments. Leaders leading them where? Good for us: nowhere!
