KERALA could have been a developed country by now

I can promise, rise of Asia will lead to a local conflict in Asia. Maybe a World War 3, or just economy conflict.
Asian hate their neighbors much more than they hate Europeans and Americans. -

His graphics don't seem to indicate the famines in India that took place during the late 19th/early 20th centuries, mainly due to the British diverting food production for cash crops and/or wartime supplies.

西方侵略者和日本鬼子应该为他们的侵略行为负责,也应该向被掠夺的民族进行合适的经济补偿,而不是推脱责任。况且,他们现在还在煽风点火,在中印或是南海,他们企盼着一旦爆发了新兴经济体之间的战争,它们就可以一劳永逸,无耻之极。

The Kerala economy depends heavily on its citizens living and working outside Kerala in places like Maharashtra, Karnataka (Bangalore), Tamil Nadu, Delhi etc. in addition to the Gulf. Unless its economic policy changes and it gets rid of its leftist tendencies businesses will avoid Kerala and it will be poorly equipped to be an independent country. States like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Delhi etc. are much more economically self sufficient than Kerala.

this is the best speech which I heard!
-
Brilliantly presented piece of scholarly work
-
Kerala should be an independent country. Enough said.

The real eye-opener here should be Asian life expectancy in the 1950s-70s, which moves ahead (apart from the Great Leap disaster) while GDP lags - a phenomenon that's been observed elsewhere. But I'm not buying Hans's 100th birthday prediction: rankings are obstinate things - that's the power of rank - and even China's real-terms present-day GDP is hotly debated (the World Bank halved it in 2005, then raised it again in 2011). I don't doubt that western growth will slow in the face of leaner Asian competition. But China and India don't need to overtake the US or Europe in per capita income, and doing so would pose huge sociopolitical difficulties for both, especially China which really doesn't want to be the US. So they'll happily lag, and the gap will narrow. In aggregate terms China will of course take the lead at some point (I doubt that it has yet, despite some projections to the contrary). That'll be quite enough for the West to learn to live with. Interesting times, indeed.
