The so-called Sanatanis are already struggling to coexist with 200 million Muslims, and now you want to throw in another 250 million? Bhaijaan, even a truckload of Hajmola and Heeng Goli won’t help you digest this one.
Nice stats link bro .if any have decent brain to understand and argue.they should be good.Are you okay?
Maldives spoke to India and in a couple of months came back to India wagging its tail
Srilanka also got into debt trap of China and now in India's fold.
Nepal maintains decent relations with India. They need money which China throws at them.
Bangladesh recently joined hands with their Islamic brother Pakistan thinking they can combined can change the power dynamic in south asia. They can always dream.
Lets talk about Modi taking India to stone age.
In 2016, when Modi became PM, Indian GDP was 2.8 Trillion.
As of 2024 Indian GDP is - 3.89 trillion.
Indian GDP grew by 1 trillion in the last 8 years. On average, they add 120 billion evert year to their GDP and it is going to accelerate in the coming 5 years.

You are mistaken. Thirty years ago, China was India's competitor, but today, they have surged so far ahead that comparing the two isn't even reasonable. Perhaps this is why many Indians prefer to compare themselves with Pakistan and Bangladesh to feel a sense of pride. China's GDP is five times that of India's, and when it comes to manufacturing, the gap is even more staggering. Let's stick to comparing ourselves with Pakistan because China is out of our reach.

Not quite. China is certainly well ahead of India. But it serves as a good benchmark. And its rapid growth has been stymied significantly with the collapse of its real estate market, toxic assets, and declining population.You are mistaken.

I am responding to the OP and a few other posters who are attempting to suggest that India is not the dominant power in South Asia. I am opining on how absurd even an attempt to question that hypothesis is. Not only is India the dominant power in the region, it is the second most prominent power in the entire Asian continent, and the third most powerful economy. Thus, comparing it to its regional partners is not a sensible comparison.
I am no fan of the idiot in charge who is regressing india to a theocratic state, but China does not have interests in South Asia. it has attempted to assert economic dominance by luring short sighted and abjectly incompetent leaders into mortgaging their own asset - real estate, all in the name of economic investment.
China is not in South Asia brother. It is in east asia. And Chinese influence in South Asia is limited to a sea port they acquired through their debt trap. There is no south Asian country with the exception of Pakistan that is beholden to china. And those who have fallen for the debt trap are currently recipients of cash grants from India to help extract them from the debt trap. Be it Sri Lanka or Bangladesh.

Hatred of Pakistan? Dude fine, this discussion is getting derailed and I don’t need to mute yet another poster. You win. India is not a dominant power. Not even in India. China best. China super cool.
You do know that India gave Sri Lanka $2.5B just so they could keep the lights on yeah? I hear Bangladesh is up next with the begging bowl.I guess some Indians can't stomach the fact China is the real big daddy in subcontinent. They have good relations with almost all countries there. They are also superior to India militarily and economically.
India have become quite isolated in the region. Even Sri Lanka started to show them their position:
Sri Lankan Navy fires at Indian boat, two fishermen injured
13 Indian fishermen from Tamil Nadu, Puducherry arrested for fishing in Sri Lankan waters; two suffered “serious injuries”, says MEA, adding that use of force unacceptable; Sri Lankan Navy says fishermen assaulted its officers.

Quite right. China already has a colony called Pakistan in South Asia. Bangladesh will follow suit. The Chinese 'cultural education' of these colonies will be next on Xi's agenda. I hope the Pakistanis and Banglas are prepared for that. They aren't going to have a choice anyway.
Or the most ironical how democracy /secularism has to be prevailed
China will not be able to fully colonize and brainwash the people of Pakistan and BD. These 2 nations will never accept the communist totalitarian systems. Their religion will not let them be that.
India should have nothing to do with countries who claim to be the fortress of Islam and yet have no shame in taking loans they cannot repay from China, a country whose leader thinks Islam is a mental illness and has no qualms putting millions of muslims in concentration camps and forcing them eat pork. Cultural and linguistic advantages can take a walk.
Countries like Pakistan can do whatever they want. India couldn't care less.
They are here because like every illegal Indian, they are stateless.
You didn't answer my question as well, why are you so concerned (or happy) about India allegedly losing its influence in South Asia? Why do you think it is an opportunity missed despite 'similarities in culture and language'? Why does it concern you, when India does not care about it?
I am surprised it took 5 mins to explain the difference. The difference is animals have more rights in India.

Looking at how much India imports from China versus how little it exports back, I have to ask one question are we China's trading partner or a subscribed colony?

Congress Leader's "China Not Our Enemy" Remark Sparks Huge Row
Congress veteran Sam Pitroda, who heads the party's overseas unit, has courted a new controversy after claiming that the threat from China is often blown out of proportion. His suggestion that India needs to stop considering China as an enemy drew a sharp backlash with the ruling BJP calling out the Congress party over its "obsessive fascination for China".
The remarks by Mr Pitroda, who is not unknown to controversies, follow his leader Rahul Gandhi's assertion in the parliament that India had lost a part of its territory to China, a claim that has been trashed by the government. Speaking to IANS, the Congress leader claimed that India's approach to China has been confrontational and that mindset needed to change.
"I don't understand the threat from China. I think this issue is often blown out of proportion because the US has a tendency to define an enemy. I believe the time has come for all nations to collaborate, not confront. Our approach has been confrontational from the very beginning, and this attitude creates enemies, which in turn garners support within the country. We need to change this mindset and stop assuming that China is the enemy from day one," he said in the interview.
The reply came to a question on whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump would be able to control the threats from China.
Hitting back, the BJP said the crux of the Congress's obsession with China lies in a 2008 Memorandum for Understanding between the Congress and the Chinese Communist Party, the party that runs the neighbouring country.
"Those who ceded away 40,000 square km of our land to China, still see no threat from the Dragon. No wonder Rahul Gandhi is in awe of China and was rooting for BRI one day before the IMEEC was announced. The crux of Congress party's obsessive fascination for China, lies hidden in the mysterious 2008 Cong-CCP MOU," said the BJP's national spokesperson Tuhin Sinha.
China has been among the US' major headaches in view of security concerns and trade implications. India too has been engaged in a border dispute with China, which was marked by violent clashes in 2020.
The opposition in India claims the country had lost a chunk of its land to China during these clashes - a claim that resurfaced in Mr Gandhi's parliament speech earlier this month. Mr Gandhi had claimed China has control over 4,000 sq km of Indian territory, which was refuted by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.
Pradeep Bhandari, another BJP spokesperson, pointed out that Mr Pitroda is a close aide of Rahul Gandhi and accused the Congress of prioritising China's interest above India's.
"Rahul Gandhi's right-hand man Sam Pitroda : 'China isn't our enemy'! This man sings endless praises of China while Congress party's signing of MoU in 2008 reveals a cozy betrayal of India's interests & prioritising China's! It's crazy how Congress always manages to keep China & Pakistan's interests above ours,"
"Rahul Gandhi's remote control is in the hand of George Soros and China," alleged Mr Bhandari, referring to the billionaire philanthropist accused of trying to influence global politics through his Open Society Foundation.

Forget about india. How is the imported Goverment( By the USA ) doing work in the Pakistan.
An imbalance in trade between two countries does not mean that the side that is exporting more is colonizing the other. India is buying more from China than what China does from India. But both of them are paying for whatever they buy from each other. So it is trade and not colonization. China isn't loaning stuff to India like what they are doing to Pakistan.Looking at how much India imports from China versus how little it exports back, I have to ask one question are we China's trading partner or a subscribed colony?
Great video on how China is dominating India and how India have their priorities wrong.
Wont argue the optics part, a lot of hype-up media and people in India are all about that.
A lot of Pakistanis have been in deep slumber since 2010 and don't even realize the gulf last decade and a half has made.
As expected, you will nitpick particular points rather than the broader point. The cavalry mhst be called to defend India.
I am going to make a brief response, and if you want to start a full debate then start a new thread. Pakistan has much larger underground economy than India. This is because India has done a much better job at online payment systems, and is better able to track the size of the economy. Pakistan has not done that, so all the cash transactions don't count unless deported (they are usually not). Same thing with Bangladesh. The ultimate measure of quality of life are measures like HDI, and India is indeed barely ahead.
Excuse me, you made that post. Those are words from the horse's mouth. You didn't reply to them.
I would just add that even HDI and poverty criteria you mentioned, India is more than barely ahead, there's quite a substantial gulf for countries that were neck and neck a decade or so ago.
