Talking about India and China ..both these economies have the possibility of becoming the superpower of the world.. The style of working of both the nation although differs. COMPARISON POLITICAL India is a democratic country while china is not.But the different strategies are also a function of history. China's Communist Party came to power in 1949 intent on eradicating private ownership, which it quickly did. Although the country is now in its third decade of free-market reforms, it continues to struggle with the legacy of that period-witness the controversy surrounding the recent decision to officially allow capitalists to join the Communist Party.Following the USSR, both countries implemented five-year plans to varying degrees of success. Due to lack of foreign investment, capital controls, centralized planning, socialist policies and other factors the economies never reached their full growth potential.Still the liberalization policies came in China in 1980's much earlier than India which was in 1990's..This shows the reason behind why the GDP of China grew much greater than that of India.The global market was opened for China much earlier which bought a boom to its industrial policies and activities. The eastern borders of the country India has always been the issue behind the India and China rivalry.China claim for the arunachal pradesh and have extended its efforts to control the place.The issue over the water of the river bhramaputra always has been discussed but is not resolved.Tibet which was part of India is also one of the reason for the rivalry which is unresolved.India giving priority to the monks and the dalai lama over the tibet issue has been a great concern for China.China on the other hand has always joined hands with Pakistan and provides help to the country for the development of the military. The reason India lacks is that the political condition is stressful and the corruption which creates scams and do not lead to the development of the country..the way it is required. AGRICULTURE AND INFRASTRUCTURE India is an agriculture based country but still the country used many old methods for a long time for cultivation while China bought these advanced methods for cultivation earlier.This leads to better quality and high yield of crops which can be exported. The infrastructure facilities which are very basic and important for the nation are much ahead of India.India started working on its road facilities ..airways etc in the 1990's while the China already had built the world class roads for its country.The airports and other rail services are much better and quick in China if we start comparing..These difference are clearly visible if we visit the Beijing airport and the mumbai airport POPULATION Without a doubt, the most notable and consequential demographic trend for the growth of these two billionaire nations concerns fertility.Indias population is growing more than twice as fast as Chinas 1.4% versus 0.6% annually. Although fertility levels in the mid-1950s were about the same in the two countries at six children per woman fertility rates have declined much faster in China than India, due in part to Chinas one-child family policy. Today, Chinas fertility is below replacement and one child less than Indias 1.8 compared to 2.8 children per woman. Indias rapidly growing population is projected to reach 1.61 billion by mid-century, an increase of 400 million people over the next four decades.In contrast, Chinas population is expected to peak around the year 2032 at 1.46 billion an increase of 110 million and then begin to decline slowly.As a result, India is expected to overtake China as the most populous country in the world in less than two decades, perhaps around 2028. ECONOMIC China's foreign reserve is much higher than that of India..India has just 11% FDI of China's reserve.Chinas public debt as a percentage of GDP is 18%. Indias public debt to GDP is much higher at 75%. China has the large manufacturing industry which account for 47 % of the total industries of the country.For example, India excels in service industries such as IT, call centers, Business Process Outsourcing(BPO), etc. Agriculture is still one of the major sectors in India providing jobs for millions. Despite the growth of IT and other industries in recent years, agriculture is still the life blood for majority of the population in India especially in rural areas. China has reduced it dependence on agriculture as a major industry due to the explosive growth in the manufacturing sector. As a result of this shift millions of Chinese have been pulled out of poverty.
