To this end, India shouted the slogan of industrialization after independence, but after more than 70 years of development, until now, India has no signs of industrialization. And not only did I not see it, but even India was not as good as Vietnam, so many people didn't understand it. In fact, since India's independence, it is basically doomed that India cannot complete industrialization. Why do you say that?
Because the British buried two mines in India before they left, India could not complete industrialization. In fact, India is a developing country with the best development conditions. Why do you say that? Because India has three advantages, one is vast territory, rich resources, fertile land and good development foundation; Second, the population is huge and the labor force is sufficient, which is the richest demographic dividend; Third, the British colonial period left India with a fairly basic industrial system, including light industry, processing industry, mining industry, manufacturing industry and so on. , has a good industrial foundation.
Therefore, it is very simple for India to strive for development and rely on these three conditions for rapid industrialization. However, why India's industry has not been industrialized so far, and its efficiency is low, even worse than that of emerging countries such as Vietnam? In fact, to put it bluntly, the British buried two mines before they left.
When the British leave the colony, they usually leave some conditions that restrict the development of the colony, usually territorial and institutional constraints, and deliberately create contradictions. The reason for this is that Britain is afraid that the colony will become stronger and will threaten itself if it does not listen to its own words. As for India, Britain is particularly afraid, because once India rises, Britain can't handle that strength. There will be revenge then. Isn't Britain going to get more than one bargained for? So the British buried two mines before they left to ensure that India would never finish industrialization.
The first thunder was democracy.
We know that the system of each country must conform to the national conditions of each country, otherwise it will only bring chaos. For independent India, the most important thing is to concentrate on construction, upgrading infrastructure, developing industry and so on. Before Britain left, it had to impose a set of so-called democratic system with account constraints on India, increasing local power, which made India's affairs constrained everywhere and always limited.
Many people don't understand why the road construction in Gai Lou is so slow, because of this so-called democratic system. It takes a long time to do one thing just by quarreling, and it will take several years after quarreling. Moreover, this democratic system in India is particularly inefficient, which makes it impossible for India to industrialize quickly.
Second, that is Pakistan.
In order to plant a bomb in India from the outside, before the British left, they deliberately intensified the Indians and * * *, leading to the partition of India. Moreover, the massacre in the process of partition and the Kashmir issue have become an inextricable knot for Pakistan and India. Therefore, Britain tried to tie India's hands and feet with Pakistan. India had no intention of developing after independence, and immediately fell into the India-Pakistan war and fought several wars.
This makes it impossible for India to concentrate on industrialization, but it must invest a lot of money in military preparation and war. It can be said that the two mines laid by Britain bound India's hands from the inside, bound India's feet from the outside, and bound both hands and feet. What else can be developed? Therefore, India will never be industrialized and become a superpower, which was designed and calculated by Britain in advance. We can also see the strength of the British Empire.
