China India comparision
October 19 2003, 7:59 AM
One cannot compare China with India.
China is a communist (pseudo-communist) totalitarian dictatorship, bent on economic development, where no opposition is allowed, including Muslims, missionaries and media.
Whereas India has got “Secular democracy”, a god-send to certain politicians, to fulfil their ulterior motives, i.e. the L.Yadav and MS Yadav of Birhar and UP (there is a interesting piece about “scrotum scratching” Laloo and his gang’s activities in William Dalrymple’s book - The age of Kali) and hereditary congress president Sonia- who wants to ban VHP but not missionaries.
One of the most favourite words in her vocabulary is “communal”, which is directed at Hindus.
They are thorns in the development of India along with the communist government of West Bengal.
