Millions of airplane trips in 1986 and (per capita):

India: 12 (0.015)
China: 10 (0.009)
US: 415 (1.7)

In 2019:
India: 170 (0.12)
China: 660 (0.47)
US: 927 (2.82)

World pop billions:
1985: 5.0
2019: 7.8 As recently as 35 years ago, India was in some ways ahead of China. Now the only country that China is worth comparing to is the US.

India has been consigned to oblivion because of its dysfunctional governance. Indian politicians & bureaucrats are the worst in the world.

A country deserves the government it gets. A nation of sheep begets a government of wolves. That's so in some cases. In other cases, a nation of immoral citizens begets a government of the most vicious thieves and crooks. It's a kakistocracy. The Congress government under Jawaharlal Nehru was involved in corruption. The news papers reported it. Nehru responded saying that the reporters were being silly since corruption is a global phenomenon and there’s nothing to get all excited about.

Many (including the awesome Robert Spencer of @jihadwatchRS) are protesting wikipedia's pro-Muslim anti-Hindu biases. Rightly so.

jihadwatch.org/2020/02/wikipe… @jihadwatchRS Many are outraged that the wiki is not telling the truth about the #DelhiRiots. Wiki's bias is anti-Hindu and pro-Muslim. So is Reddit biased. So is the Western media. All worth condemning.

Where's the outrage for India's history books' anti-Hindu pro-Muslim bias?

If the Congress had not demonstrated over the decades that they are a vile, thoroughly corrupt, incorrigibly incompetent bunch of criminals, there would have been no scope for the decisive @narendramodi victories. Thankfully the INC will die soon. deeshaa.org/2019/05/25/wit… On a scale of 0 to 100, the Maino INC is 3 and Modi BJP is 4. It's really no great achievement to beat a dead horse in a race. Sad fact is that Maino & her minions are exhausted have-beens that sucked India dry. Modi has no challenger. He has no reason to change the status quo.
