There are only two prominent places in this world where real inventions came from. In recent times Germany from the west. In the east from the beginnings of human civilization till early 1800s in India. Interestingly people of these two places may be genetically linked? although Germans have blond hair and blue eyes.

India has been free from British and Islamic rule since late 1940s; so once again it is becoming prominent.

One can say rest of the world copied from these two places.

German Jet & Rocket technology copied by Russians, Americans, French, and many other nations. Scientists were treated like Rock stars in Germany, and in India they are highly respected from ancient times. In USA politicians, sales, marketing, executives, movie stars, rock stars etc are treated highly; scientists are not held high.

Interestingly India’s Chandrayaan probe found water on the moon, missed by American scientists for decades and results later confirmed from past and other later probes data. So labeled as 3rd world country moon probe, with low budget did a good thing, finding water on moon is something every human being needs, it is a question of survival on moon for every human being.

I wonder & want to know same thing “Why China doesn’t like India really is unknown to me.” I admire China’s progress in many fields, but maintaining democracy & being a free country with freedom of opinion is mattering most to me. I’ll prefer to be a poor man in a free country rather than being rich in a country where I’ve no freedom.

Hello Antriksh,

Thanks for commenting on my article about China-India relations. What You say is true.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve written this article. In the summer I’ll have some time to write an update.

nice blog..pretty much everything has been written here..my concern from china is that it( by any means) wants to produce goods for the entire world and every country its monopolistic market..even after being such a large country- they hace been land greedy(have border problems with all its neighbours).its like they are gearing up to fight india 10 years later from the way they are militarizing tibet and south china ..but people are good and sweet like india..i hope 10-20 years later- india and china are not fighting for supremacy in asia..or any kind of cold war..(newspapers now and then are filled with chinese intrusions into indian territory..they are provoking us ..and helping pakistan (legally and illegally)..indian original brands (bikes. cars,etc) are sold by copying in entire pak-afk-central asia and south america..the have even copied russian sukhois 30 fighter aircrafts!!! teh should play by rules..average indian is stronger than average chines b’cse nobody in india can take self imposed dictatorship or overlordship even in a small housing society..everybody wants and makes himself heard anyhow!! i just hope we dont go for a cold or haot war gain..its not worth it..there r so many interesting things to work on like space program!!!

I am from India working in USA. Its good to see Indophiles here. But to put a counter point and restrict any Indian making foolish comments, like India is best, has best education system, has democracy, freedom of speech and blah blah…. what not, to the extent that Indian food is the best, I would like to say that we make our arguments week and show lack of judgment on our part by making those comments. Lets not compare and lets not put above others or below. Lets be objective.

Now I personally feel India has big problems and the biggest of them is bigotry. Even educated people tend towards it and thats what hurts me the most.

Gentlemen – I am from India working in the US currently. India’s achievment of phenomenol considering India had not reverse engineered, stolen or copied any technologies. Rather India has built these technologies over 20 years of organic progression. Great job and onwards to landing Indians on the moon by 2018….

Hello!

I am a German working in Canada and got to hear of this blog as it has some German reference. Germany as you would know is one of the key players in European Nations and as a leading economy in the region, we fund the ESA operations and the research findings are used by the member countries.

Now coming to India’s achievemt in space, I think, India today has the potential to replace US or any other country as the world leader…thanks to it’s education system which has been showing the way the world from the start of civilization.

India was developed when the world was still taking shape and it is due to the learned men from India -astrologers, scientist, surgeons – and their work (not only today, but thousands of years back)which has led to development of number system, astrology and medicine system.

China has been in awe of this civilization fromm the times of Huen Tsang, Fa Hsien, Xuan Zang and Yi Qing…these Chinese scholars visited the seats of learning in India and carried the wonderful stories of prospering society back to China…something which was not seen or heard of there.

For any country to equate with India would mean to bridge the gap of 10000 years….having a first hand experience of that country and it’s history….I think India is atleast that many years ahead of the world
