Abstract

Which Way Asia?: India's Way, or China's

In the last three years India is trying to do by democratic means what so far has been done only by communism and totalitarian compulsion: to lift a poverty-stricken country, mainly by its own efforts, on the road to progressive improvement. There are significant indications that communalism and separatism, though for the moment discredited, have not by any means been eradicated. In the best of circumstances, India can hardly hope to equal the rate of development in China. India has yet to achieve a rate of investment of more than 7 percent of the national product, disregarding agricultural-maintenance work. China already seems to have surpassed 8 percent and, should approach 12 percent this year.
