There is absolutely nothing to get offended about it,it's a truth we face as a result of the economic and political failures of our past,that we must ensure not to repeat and learn from.

Even israel palestine issue, Taliban issue every conflict had brits involved in one way or the other.
Being an Indian I have a very strong feeling that whenever we talk about Indians/Indian history/Indian economy & developing programs, we always blame British & our political leadership but never blame ourselves that we are responsible for it directly. British came in power because few people wants always on the throne and allowed rest of Indian to be slaves then politicians wanted always in power and make slave again rest of Indians. Look at us in the 21st century we r still voting 🗳 in the name of caste creed and ironically those old government still wants us to vote for them.
India is a faster growing economy that China, and China will be the number one superpower after a few years. I feel after China, India will be next. I really believe the caste system needs to be abolished for India to advance.

As an Indian I am disgusted how there are still those among us that blame the British for our problems. How long until we take responsibility and become as great as we should be? India shall rise up!
It's much easier to lay something down than to take something up. It's good to know that there are still those who would rather assume the mantle than point fingers.
First of all you are not an Indian and if you are really Indian then, you should know what was happened to us back in the 19th and 20th century. You people don't know how much India was looted during british colonial time. There was a serious study regarding this and it was found that around 45trillion dollar were looted by those thief's. Today, India has 4th largest military in the world, first nation to land successfully on south pole of the moon [Even thief britisher's are not able to launch a satelite in space poor BRITISHER's ] , when britisher's were threw out of the nation India's literacy rate was 7% but in just 7 decades, now it's 73% literacy rate in India with world's largest democracy and still India is developing nation, after thief's empire was kicked off from the India we were not able to feed our population but now India is self-sufficient[ because of green revolution in India] that even India export's it's rice to other poor countries and India is one the largest exporter of wheat, rice etc. and there are various best thing about India that today India is able to become one of the fastest growing economy in the world.
@@THOMAS_SHELBY434 Yes, I am happy that India is rising. I love my country so much, it will rise. This time India will not be golden bird but golden tiger. I used to hate my nation for 3 years when being abroad for some things but now regained love for my nation permanently. Salute India.

You missed the very important point of why India was left poor. It is because Britain looted India for 250 years, destroyed the local economy to it's roots, broke the traditional education system which was much more advanced than any other country. Books burnt down, temples destroyed, people were treated as slaves. They did everything to reduce it to ashes, but what they don't know is we are like Phoenix which can rise from ashes.Some people say Brits left long back, yet India is still poor, the reason is, it is broken in all ways to such an extent that it really need lot of time to rebuild from scratch.
The Indians had far bigger population than the British they were complicit in helping the British take over India
First mughals now britishers who destroyed indian temples
Remember btitishers had territories in srulanka, hongkong, malaysia, singapore etc
They all are doing well
Excuses and excuses independent for decades still blaming here and there... This is the main reason why india are poor. Love to blame,love to give excuses.

It's very helpful that you're looking into the decisions and failed management instead of playing the blame game like most do. In some ways India is similar with my country. My country combined capitalism with government's control in hope result to balance but somehow still slow in growth after 78 years of independence.
Yes, compare one party rule in China and democratic Taiwan. Russia does not want countries it once ruled to be independent and democratic. They make Russia look bad.. A free Taiwan makes China look bad and so did HongKong.
This is a great video. I'm from China and we are very curious about Indian culture. In ancient times our culture was partly influenced by Indian culture probably through Buddhism. India and China have a lot in common. Both are large countries with large populations; both are old countries with splendid cultures; both used to be affected by western invasion; both used to be very poor and have a lot of people to feed. I hope China and India can settle the territory dispute peacefully and join hands to develop together.

Corruption is a hindrance to the progress of any country. You just cannot say it.
The problem with India was that we continued to live in colonial hangover for much longer than needed. We were always afraid of being colonized again. The fear was so high that when USSR collapsed, as a small child I was deeply paranoid. The way elders used to talk, it seemed American bombers were on their way to bomb us. We could have grown like S.Korea and Japan with correct economic policies right from day one.

Rare to see this from a western content creator
What are r ya trippin on man
The very first sentence is already wrong though. 18th century india was not rich.
Because indian leaders thought only doing agriculture is enough for india . They didn't think privatisation, industrialisation and capitalism will do any good.
How bout giving free education and free healthcare. But we can allow private companies.
Main reason democracy+ so much diversity
@@knowledgedesk1653 Nah. Democracy or monarchy or oligarchy has very little to do with economic development. What matters the most is what economic system are you applying. Also depends what kind of leadership are you having. Why didn't china grew for nearly four decades ? Just like that india didn't grew economically for about 5 decades because it was closed to the rest of the world. Also india doesn't have rich country in it's neibourhood like China had to invest money and to trade with. Japan, SK ,Taiwan ,HK all were there to.manufacture there goods in china and sell them elsewhere. India had leadership which absolutely deposed rich and saw them as if they are problems but forgot that those Rich's are absolutely crucial to develop any nation. With time grew population grew with poverty and other kind of problems.
@@bulu9214 Please explain how the rich are crucial to the economy, I don't get it.
Are you trying to say that they bring in capital to invest so they're needed? Because that's the exact same thing a country can do without the rich.
@@Illlium the govt are incompetent.
It can't manage buisness
This video gave a very dim picture of India's future. The only thing it misses, is the terrible corruption practice of the government officers of all levels, from federal to state. Without the elimination of the corrupt practice, it will be difficult to attract investors.
Corruption is the most difficult problem to get rid off and I was born in one. I always thought that we can never win. There is a bright side. China and Vietnam were extremely corrupted like Indian. Today they choose to correct the problems. In China and Vietnam recently they put to death the most high ranking and corrupted officials. They send out a strong signal that no one is immune to that. So far it works. In the 70's Korea was extremely corrupted. Look at them now. It is encouraging!!!
@kb The only way is to abolish the British political system. All you hear is the fighting between the politicians for their jobs. They never think for the people. You need a revolution or the incarnation of Sri Vishnu.

Developing indigenous tank and fighter for over 20+ years with multiple delays tells me of huge corruption. Arjun was a competitive tank in the 80-s, but its protracted development made it uncompetitive by now. Plus India bought and manufactured T-90 Russian tanks which are below Russian quality, hence the problems with engine cooling and reliability in a tropical climate.

Taking the GDP per Capita of the US and applying it to India is a bit absurd. The average developed nations has a much lower GDP per Capita than the US. The US's data is inflated due to their currency being the dollar.
the average does not mind if the wealth is concentrated into few people.
That's why we should use PPP
The purchasing power
@@Twocat5side PPP doesn't account for overall value. Indians cannot produce chips nor can they produce other high end valued products due to limitation in research.
@@ultorgaming7975 Indeed,China liberalised in the early 80s.
India under Indira gandhi's dictatorship decided to give more power to the economic system of command and control,....to fix the failures of command and control.
The Gandhi family's continued political power after nehru is the worst thing to ever happen to India.
Purchasing power parity also matters when trying to gauge the level of prosperity, 1$ can buy a lot more in India and China compared to USA and hence if India and China achieve to make it into the lower end of high income then they are effectively as rich as western nations if not more
To think that they should be very wealthy now from all those Target gift cards
But its poor! Ground reality is hard. Struggle for money for 97% of population
97%...from where you get this number..just like trust me bro ?
Without correct radical reforms in its systems (judicial, education etc) the country will take way longer to become developed or may never become developed.
Even though indicators show us that the country has a bright future but I am very skeptical about that, given the problems that still plague the country.
they poo on the side of the road
"Radical reform" - quite a way in saying what it actually is: a revolution. The current stakeholders though will do everything to maintain the status quo; it'll be even harder among those who want changes to reach a consensus on what degree they have to go, how to realize it, and what shares people should settle on post-revolution - which means you have to go through much infighting first. Nope, not gonna happen anytime soon - unless unforeseeable calamity brings majority of the population together.

Why India is still poor?
Direct Answer: Because of excessive corruption in every spheres☹️
Because of politicians bribing
Hmm really
Brits spent 90% of revenue on administration and military. Before them East india company used Indian revenue to purchase local goods at dictated low price. Sold it in Europe and kept the profits. That's basically robbing us per year and expecting us to thank them for it.
Bad leadership I mean we had leaders like Patel and Bose and end up with Nehru why? Thanks to Gandhi and I hate how he add British version but fail to put Indian version as how British was weakened after WW2 thanks to Hitler and by not having enforcement and control all India had to do is push on them and to save face from defeat like what happened in America they give us independence.
Our CM of the state is giving free rice and money for no reason instead of creating jobs. It's may be good for the political party to gain votes it's disatrous for economy. Also insteading the opening more school it's closing small ones and forget about job creation .Dumb retards
because India massive population that's why India still poor

"And to this day, some of the most powerful people in India use their influence to block reasonable economic policies in order to enrich themselves".

India and Africa are still ran by the Colonial Master that destroyed there encomic system, education,trading market it's crazy how this can happen
@@icebergslim3737 India is a nuclear power. So, no foreign country dictate India. India is still poor because of bad economic policy by Indian government itself. India should follow free trade policy like East Asia countries, and not protectionism. East Asia economy grow very rapidly after independence. There is no poor country in East Asia, some are rich, some are middle income countries.
Low quality people liberally played democracy; times invasion accumulated global garbage ideologies to have damaged too many people in low quality.
Basically, greed.
Yes, you are touching the root cause of the problem in India and capital dominated countries; which is why that China is able to develop quickly. It is state owned economy in dominating economic activities, such as, farmers permanently own land in number but it is movable in location according to the need of social development. The other countries, includes India is rigid in dealing with such issue.
Thanks for the interesting talk. However, I am surprised that you made no mention of the rampant corruption that perfuses all levels of Indian society. That must put something of a drag on the economy.
I think Indian corruption is so rampant that anyone who's on the internet knows of it so mentioning it would just be stating the obvious. I could be wrong.

3:12 Nepal was not part of the British Indian Colony. Nepal and the East India Company signed the treaty of Sugauli in 1816 after a two-year long war which allowed a British resident in Kathmandu thereafter. However, Nepal continued to have its monarchs and prime ministers as before after 1816 as well . Then, Britain and Nepal signed the Nepal-Britain Treaty of 1923 recognizing Nepal as an independent country. This was registered in the League of Nations in 1925.
There is a similarity regarding poverty between India and my country, Indonesia. Its called corruption
I'm Indian and Indonesia is far better than India bro. You guys have GDP per capita that's double of us
Wow, agricultural REALLY a very high profit sector. For sure. Especially when there is restrictions on food based on chemical fertilizers. The cost for farming way too high for organically grown. Most Indian farmers use chemical fertilizers just like Sri Lanka farmers. It's hit the farmers when the government start the 100% organic reform while the farmers heavily depending on chemical fertilizers. Profit for agriculture already little from the very beginning.
And every rich countries try to produce own food to prevent famine at crisis. For example European Union has high tax for non-european food.

"Why is India poor?"- being an indian i've often asked wondered this question as well.
How could we, a vast, resource rich, diverse, and relatively large literate and educated population, be so backward compared to our contemporaries in asia like China or japan? We didnt even have any major conflicts on our soil, or any major civil war, or have our cities flattened or anything like that.
It is quite clear that despite many of our initial advantages, our leadership has squandered it.
Though kudos to uploading this on independence day, this is a good wake up call for all of us.

@@arigon55 that is an utter nonsense.China had all the problems you mentioned,(culture of corruption,large countries,etc) and they are rich.
The reason is because of severe underinvestment by the government on raising human capital,with 1960's China investing significantly more per capita on their population compared to post reform India despite having less gdp

@@GrigRP but people living thier knew, they are Indian
Maratha, Gupta and Asoka etc these Indian kingdom united India
@@Hello-kh6bk No they didn't. Before people identified with the state or Kingdom they lived in.
@@GrigRP not true because idea of india as one entity was first mentioned in ancient scriptures like puranas and Mahabharata which are nearly 2500 years old and that's reason you see pan Indian empires like Mauryas, guptas, mughals ruling over entire country as one entity and reason for their success was using one sanskrit language as administrative language and above all religion of Hinduism for which India is sacred as considered to be a mother. But just like China India was united 5 times and again split up into majority local Kingdoms infact when British were on it's soil 3/4th of India was under single maratha empire who first gave slogan of one India. And British never united India they left India with 570+ provinces as each own autonomous country giving them choice to be independent but it's our first home minister sardar Patel after independence used military force and united entire country and for that very reason you find world's biggest statue dedicated to him.

I remember seeing an interview on the news a long time ago, like in the sixties, this guy in India had said "any government in power in India is like putting a cork on the sea."
Because here people make babies to show the society, they are not barren. They raise babies, so as they could help them in old age. They brain wash children to take jobs, which make their parents proud in society. Never follow your own passion. Doing your own homeworks like cleaning, cooking and repairing is a low caste activity, so it must not not be practiced. India is poor because you are not to express yourself, if it is conflicting older people and century old customs. And, you must never listen to the young ones because they always blabber in high adrenaline state, without making any sense.
me when i was 16
Same thing happened to me, I was forced by my parents and relatives to study something which i never wanted and now they are forcing me, to stay at home and prepare for govt exams rather than working in a private firm.
Indians should learn to work with each other and learn about exponential growth: 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1k 2k 4k 8k 16k 32k etc... If you fold a piece of paper 1 mm thick 10 times it will be 1 meter, 20 times it will be 1 KM, 30 times it will be 1000 KM. Indians should focus on improving productivity, and never buy or sell products only for vanity.
May God forever bless India and all its people 🙏🏼

Points that you missed -
S. Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam were or still are dictatorships which makes it very easy to bring in economic reforms whereas in india due to democracy every government finds it difficult to pass good but unpopular reforms.
@Cloud Smiles they were and if you doubt that please check
Country, vast as India there is no chance disctatoship can thrive. You can see modi, he's one dictator.. I know I know, we are democrat country, I know that. But it's more likely dictatorship and you can clearly see it, even after having a dictator.. it's so difficult to handle so many people with so many different thought process.

There's also an important but inconvenience aspect of this problem: working culture. I've been to India several times, and I've noticed that the quality of their services are very low and the workers seem less disciplined than other countries. It's like the opposite of Japan.
Did you miss the part when that was their way of getting rid of the oppressors? Probably took a couple of generations, so no wonder these people are not highly motivated.

To so overidentify who you are with where you were born (which you had no say in, no control over)...and to try to link to any of its success, math or science...as if it means anything about you, is an ego grab. For sure.
To get stuck on thinking your country is the best, simply because you live (d) there...is immature at best. It lacks awareness, and a true big picture view.
None of us is special, due to where we were born. That’s a fallacy, an ego game.
We cling to things like that, in order to feel significant. You’re human. It really shouldn’t increase or decrease your value, depending on where you came from.
Now...on to the claim that “India is the country that has contributed the most to the field of math and science”.
First, there is not one solitary “field” of math and science!! There are various fields, so many different disciplines in the FIELDS of math and science.
Next, that’s a preposterous claim. While India has indeed contributed to various disciplines within the fields of math and science...to claim its the country that has contributed most, is myopic and obtuse.
Many countries have contributed. The wisest among those in specialities collaborate with others to expand upon and increase their knowledge and skill.
Many countries have incredible contributions, which have been the building blocks for others (often from other countries) to further disciplines along. No man is an island. Rare is the country untouched by influence of others. It’s like a multidimensional, multifaceted web of connections. To make such an arrogant/ignorant claim...is to be childlike and trying to make things simple in order to make sense of complex things.
Your paradigm is informed by deep biases and narratives...with ego at the center. I challenge you to challenge your conditioned thinking...examine who you are (you aren’t your country...but merely a human, a spiritual being, who is grasping to limiting concepts).
Reach beyond the self sabotaging thinking.
The irony of Indian social system for centuries has been, that Power, Money and Knowledge should exist only with the few not the masses. The British exploited this system very well to their advantage. Although the buying power of people of India is much better compared to the past, but still even today there are a handful number of crony capitalists who control everything in India. As a result corruption levels in India are one of the highest in the world.
Systemic Corruption existed in India pre-1990's and 1980's and even in those time it was one of the highest in the world. In those times, India was pretty much totally Socialistic with Government owned companies controlling more than 70% of all big industries and businesses. Crony Capitalism or Crony Socialism, both show their adverse effects on Common people. Let's take a balanced approach here.

Id say the elctoral one is mixed. Its push to use lots of fertilized probably leads to increased crop growth but the lack of bussiness to properly process the food leads to a lot of it going to waste. Despite the population being mainly farmer its weird that so little effort goes into procuring better buyers
@Art Man they also took the corruption and amplified it tenfold, you’d think a country that professes to hate the British wouldn’t copy them so much
@@GuinessOriginal
Well one of the reasons for that was the fact that India had first hand experience with one system only: the British system.
@Art Man The merit was limited to specific caste in India due to high castism. While they used evil methods to retain power, they were one hell of a genius. Arthshashtra, was the constitution written by the meritocratic elites, and India was a dream land then. European risked their lives and traveled for months to reach India. Columbus and Vasco da Gama have their name in history just for reaching or trying to reach India.
The man who wrote the Indian constitution did not belong to the meritocratic elite caste.
Nepal and Bhutan were never a part of British India but rather allies. Nepal and the Raj also signed the 1923 treaty recognizing Nepal as an independent country. Nepal militarily intervened in the 1857 Mutiny aiding the British. Nepal also actively sent troops in the Hyderabad action, as per several historical evidences even after India gained independence.
