In 1990, China and India each accounted for roughly 2% of the world’s GDP.

Today:

China: ~16–17%
India: ~4%

China increased its share of the global economy by about 8x. India increased its share by about 2.5x.

The question isn’t whether India has grown—it has. The question is: *why didn’t it grow at China’s pace, and what can we learn from that?

1990年，中国与印度的国内生产总值各自约占全球总量的2%。

如今数据如下：

中国：约16%–17%

印度：约4%

中国在全球经济中的占比提升了大约8倍，印度提升约2.5倍。

问题不在于印度有没有实现经济增长，它确实增长了。真正值得探讨的是：为何印度的增速比不上中国，我们又能从中吸取哪些经验教训？

以下是印度网友的评论：

Let their stomach filled first then after May be we will see some change in our country. They are like angrez. Lootenge pehle daba kar aur fir bhaag jayenge..!

得先让他们填饱肚子，之后我们国家或许才会出现转机。他们和过去英国人一个德行，先大肆搜刮捞足好处，然后就溜之大吉。

I think they have a “criminal” mindset.

我觉得他们骨子里就是强盗思维。

Most are already a criminals in a current government.

现政府里的大部分人本身就心怀不轨。

Get rid of political parties, sell of the govt real estate in Lutyens. Rewrite the constitution & put in place an autocratic administration without any debate, you will see India be a neat, clean, modern country where things happen fast and the country becomes the #1.

废除所有政党，变卖卢蒂恩斯片区的政府地产。重新起草宪法，建立无需各方辩论的治理体系。到那时印度会秩序井然、风气清廉、实现现代化，办事效率大幅提升，成为全球头号强国。

Very myopic thinking you have. How about transforming India through education and making it an IP based economy?

你的想法太过短视。不妨依靠教育实现转型，把印度打造成以知识产权为核心的经济体如何？

You looked like an idiot comparing China & India without thinking thru the political system that governs each country. You must have opted out of the physics in middle school when they taught Newton's laws. China is his 1st law. India is his 2nd.

你对比中印两国，却不去深究两国各自的政治体制，想法十分荒唐。估计你初中学到牛顿定律的时候就放弃学物理了。中国对应牛顿第一定律，印度对应第二定律。

 

Sabeer Bhatia
Rather than making me the subject of your invectives, focus on the shortcomings of India’s strategy to account for this difference.

与其对着我恶语相向，不如好好分析印度发展策略存在哪些短板，以此解释两国发展差距形成的原因。

I cant let stupidity pass without calling it out. If you wanted to compare India & China I would have expected you to compare the individual rights & freedom in their country; thats what rings a bell in everyone's mind. Instead you wanted to know how can we become like China.

见到离谱的观点，我没办法视而不提。如果你要对比印度和中国，我本以为你会去比较两国公民的个人*利与自由，这才是所有人最关心的话题。可你反倒在思考我们要怎么效仿中国。

 

Ajaya Tirupalli
US grew when it took land for free, used slave labour, created ghettos and interment camps. You are a product of that capitalism. China grew as a co unist military dic ship. Germany grew fastest under Nazi. You clearly worship those models.

美国实现崛起，依靠无偿掠夺土地、压榨奴隶劳工、划分贫民街区、设立收容拘留营。你就是这套zb主义体系催生出来的人。中国依靠模式发展，德国发展速度最快的时期处于纳粹统治之下。看得出来，你十分推崇这类发展模式。

 

Suhas Walse
RAMPANT CORRUPTION, Bureaucracy, extremely safe govt job security with pension, police, court, talathi, tehsildar mamledar, administrative system etc. govt service rules made by colonial British rulers in context of time around 1800 primarily to run their admin system by clerk.

腐败横行、官僚体系臃肿僵化；公务员岗位稳定，还能领取养老金。警察、法院、村级税务员、乡行政官、分区长官等整套行政体系沿用的公职规章，源自1800年左右英国殖民统治者制定的条例。当初设立这套规则，只是方便殖民者依靠文员维持殖民管控。

 

Swapnil Khaladkar
You are right..if we could have started taking measures In 1990-2000 ,could match chinas pace. We started very late ..maybe we will take another 15-20 years for compound impact

你说得没错。假如我们在1990至2000年间就推行改革举措，发展速度本可以追上中国。我们行动太晚，想要看到长期持续积累带来的发展成效，或许还需要15到20年。

Quick google search and basic calculator. China grew 2863% from 1990 to 2014. India grew by 537% during same time. China grew by 83.6% from 2014 to 2025. India grew by 103.4% during the same time. You're fighting to go back to pre-2014 time. You're truly Soros coolie.

简单谷歌查一下数据，再做个基础计算就能看清。1990至2014年，中国经济增幅2863%，同期印度增幅仅537%。2014到2025年，中国经济增长83.6%，印度增长103.4%。你一心想要回到2014年之前的时代，你根本就是索罗斯的走狗。

You dont look that dumb to understand that 65 yrs of congress misrule and corruption has destroyed indias foundation.

你不至于蠢到看不明白，国大党长达65年治理失当、贪腐横行，已经动摇了印度的根基。

U could have showcsed India's greatness thru ur posts and begitten the blessings of ancestors but instead u chose to shame and criticise ur own birth country. how angry and frustrated r u?? Such a downfall from techie to jihadi...shame.

你本可以发文展现印度的伟大，求得先祖庇佑，可你偏偏选择抹黑、批判自己的祖国。你到底是有多愤懑压抑？从技术从业者堕落成激进分子，实在可耻。

 

Sanjeev Kumar
Now with the earlier and deeper adoption of AI, China will grow even faster than before and rightly so while Indians are foolishly fighting for religion and race!

中国更早、更深入地布局人工智能，发展速度势必进一步提升，这本就是理所应当；反观印度人，还在愚蠢地因宗教、种族互相争斗！

 

archana kanodia murarka
Talk about india today ...also did china have mughal and british invaders and did it get partitioned and did it have multi party politics and did it have leaders pandering to one community and looting its own ppl? U can't digest the rise of india today...1990 bhaad me gaya past.

聊聊当下的印度吧。中国当年遭遇过莫卧儿、英国入侵者吗？经历过国家分裂吗？实行过多党制吗？有领导人刻意讨好单一族群、掠夺本国百姓吗？你就是无法接受如今印度的崛起，1990年之前的旧事早就不值一提。

Babus are holding India back. India should be freed from babu and police colonialism by abolishing IAS/IPS system. Also, abolish DC appointment instead empower the local councils. Giver local councils more control over tax collection and spending.

官僚群体拖累着印度发展。印度应当废除印度行政服务局、印度警察服务局体系，摆脱官僚与旧式警务殖民治理模式。同时取消地区专员委任制，赋予地方议会更多权力，让地方议会掌握更多税收征管与财政支出自主权。

Because China spent decades competing in global manufacturing. India spends too much time competing in election campaigns

中国数十年深耕全球制造业竞争，而印度却耗费大量精力周旋于各类选举竞选。

 

Rajat Sen
India and China didn't start in 1990. China started in 1980 with the help of US govt, you can read any political history book. India started in 2014.

中印两国的发展起点并不是1990年。中国自1980年起步，获得美国政府扶持，随便翻看政治史料都能看到。印度真正起步则是2014年。

Thanks to 20 years of Corrupt Congress governments in power. Modi is the one changing that script in the last ten years. The number of infrastructure projects have gone 10x, number of airports, medical colleges and hospitals, highways and expressways, train station quality and trainsets, everything has improved drastically and quadrupled.

国大党腐败执政长达二十年。过去十年，莫迪扭转了局面。基建项目数量增长十倍，机场、医学院、医院、高速公路、快速路、车站设施与列车组都迎来大幅改善，规模翻了两番。

China has meritocracy. India has corruption, reservation, incompetence & oligarchy.

中国实行精英治理；印度充斥贪腐、配额政策、庸才掌权与寡头统治。

Policies 1970s China opened up after Nixon visit ! India did reverse after 1971 war despite having overwhelming numbers Mrs Gandhi was insecure and did the reverse . Control licence raj corruption followed . IMF loans too with half baked liberalisation done with our backs to the wall early 90s!

说说政策层面。上世纪70年代，尼克松访华后中国开启对外开放。印度在1971年战争取胜后却反其道而行。英迪拉·甘地心存不安，推行管控政策，催生许可证制度与大量腐败。90年代初印度走投无路，接受国际货币基金组织贷款，实施不彻底的自由化改革。

I think the observation is correct and can be expanded to include many other South East Asian countries ("Asian Tigers") and South Korea.

我认为这个观点成立，同样也适用于众多东南亚国家（亚洲四小龙）以及韩国。

With open eyes, you are blind to things happening in India. Just one example, defence production and exports. Why this only after 2014? Be more worried about policy of your country with Iran. Talk about that, we will look after ourselves

你眼睁睁看着印度发生的一切却视而不见。举个例子：国防工业与军工出口，为什么直到2014年后才有起色？你不如多关心本国对伊朗的政策，管好你们自己，印度的事我们自己做主。

America had around 250 years to get to what it is today, joke is on u, china nd india had only 60-70 years, yet china is almost at par with usa even better in some things, india will catch up there very soon. The only slow pig that has been is USA

美国花了约250年发展到当下水平，而中印独立不过六七十年。中国如今几乎能和美国比肩，不少领域甚至更占优势，印度很快就能追上来。发展放缓的只有美国。

Bhatia saab what was the Great Britain’s share in world GDP?

英国巅峰时期占全球GDP的比重是多少？

India didn't have visionary ruling party during the time when China grew at breakneck speed. India followed rules. Your country never helped India as whole-heartedly as they helped China. My 3 cents

在中国飞速发展的那段时期，印度缺少有远见的执政党。印度一直恪守各类规则。贵国对印度的扶持，从来不像当年扶持中国那样尽心尽力。以上仅为我的一点看法。

 

Vrag
For this you must ask Congress party.I think Mr.Chidambaram,ex Finance Minister,has gone on record to describe the decades of 70s and 80s as the'lost decade' for India.This was the time when China did major reforms,while,we were growing @ 2-3pct calling it Hindu Rate of growth

这件事得问问国大党。前财政部长奇丹巴拉姆曾公开表示，70、80年代是印度“失落的十年”。正是这一阶段中国推行重大改革，而印度经济增速仅维持2%-3%，被称作“印度教增速”。

 

BharatVarsh
Because after 1990 hordes of people like you and others went to America and made it Great. Real mother - india was deserted by all such people. All adopted rich mother and deserted middle class real mother

1990年后，大批像你一样的人奔赴美国，助力美国走向强盛。他们抛弃故土印度这个真正的母亲，投奔富裕的新家园，丢下这个普通民众的祖国。

 

Ashis Kumar Nath
In India land reform has not been done.Very few people grabbed all the land of this country.80% lower castes people live without proper land ownership. In this kind of extreme exploitive society and system, country's growth will not happen as like China,where land reform done fully

印度始终没有完成土地改革，少数人垄断国内土地资源，八成低种姓民众没有合法土地产权。在这种剥削严重的社会体制下，印度无法复制中国的发展，中国彻底落实了土地改革。

 

Reclaim Footpaths
China became the factory of the world while India became the back office. The value add in manufacturing is far more than in service.

中国成为世界工厂，印度沦为后台办公外包基地。制造业能够创造的附加值远高于服务业。
