West Bengal was the troglodyte of Indian states. It was turned into a North Korea like economy. The Trinamool Congress ruled by spreading fear and terror among voters. People outside the state really do not appreciate what the opening up of West Bengal to India is going to do. It’s like the fall of the Berlin Wall! I shall be sharing some tweets of all the hard-to-believe stories coming out from the state now. 🧵

In short, we're cooked... Listen to Indian Express Senior Associate Editor Udit Misra.

Many years ago, I gave two presentations on how China builds its industrial and technological ecosystem—one for an Indian audience and one for a Vietnamese audience. Although the content was largely the same and went into many details that were rarely mentioned in other settings, the feedback from the Vietnamese and Indian participants was strikingly different. When I discussed the gaps between Vietnam and China, my Vietnamese friends listened very attentively to my analysis of Vietnam’s weaknesses. They even proactively acknowledged Vietnam’s deficiencies and asked me to analyze more specific issues in greater detail. However, when I compared China and India, many Indian friends became quite argumentative. They tried to compete with or challenge the Chinese perspective on almost every point, to the point where I could barely develop my analysis. As a result, they might have won the debate, but missed a valuable opportunity to have a meaningful exchange. So, I came to know which country would be the real winner for "China+1" many years beforehand.

It is extremely disappointing to read negative comments on this post. The comments are not from experts. They are from IT Cell types, people who barely understand technology Pause for a moment folks. 5 years ago, India didn’t exist on semiconductor manufacturing map.
