Elephant and the dragon- really a strange topic. It took several days for me to complete this article..I was thinking what shall I write for this topic. But recently i came to know about the book "The Elephant and The Dragon" by Meredith. In this book Meredith has brought out a positive picture of India in light of democratic status of the nation. She talks of jumping points for India and at the same time has highlighted china's economic prosperity disguise.
So I decided to write on this topic by assuming India as an Elephant And China As A Dragon.
India a democratic country got its freedom in 1947 and China tasted his freedom in 1949, two years after us. But when we talk about the economic growth, China is at a very high position w.r.t India, although she lies below china but India is at the most crucial position (w.r.t to HDI and Energy Consumption. India lies at the edge of the slope on the graph plotted between these two variables).
India and China both are giant countries in terms of population. India is a democratic country whereas China has communist rule over there. In India people are enjoying a lot of freedom and in China people are dying to express their views but they can't. China stands at the 2nd position in the list of world's leading exporters with total value of $1428.3 billions whereas India is at 27th position with a value of $177.5 billion. Well I guess elephant is very big in size but in case of exports….India is not an elephant. Talking about the technologies China is far ahead of us. Many people might not know that China is developing a nuclear fission and fusion combo nuclear plant, this will really help in cutting down their emission and will lead them to a new era of green technology. And in India our govt is still thinking what steps we have to take. Thats the biggest problem with democracy, we can't come quickly to any decision. Take the issue of this women bill only. Whole govt system is on a big shame side. People are just fighting, someone wants it and some don’t want to get the bill passed. I never heard about riots in China but in India its very common. People are dying for creating new states in India. Although i have given the title elephant as India but it seems Indian crowd is no less than a dragon. Everyone has fire in their mouth. Taking the case of Godhra Kand in Gujarat, still i am not able to find out the reason WHY AND HOW PEOPLE CAN TURN UP LIKE THIS. Its insanity. Well at last I would like to say India being an Elephant have very low phase but has the capability of fighting with anyone. And Dragon "China" has immense power stored inside her and when someone will do something against her, she can really show what she could be.
