I don’t get why we’re still comparing ourselves to Pakistan and Bangladesh. Sure, we’re not China or Singapore, but can we at least aim for Indonesia, Malaysia, or Vietnam? At this rate, I’ll be gone before we proudly say, “Hey, at least we’re doing better than Afghanistan.”

As a Vietnamese, I find it funny when India is being compaired to Pakistan, or even Indonesia or my country Vietnam. The only country in Asia you guys should be compared to is China. Like China, India need to step up to fullfill its role as a Major World Power alongside China, a country that smaller friendly regional powers like Vietnam can look up to in international matters

Let us talk more about our other neighbours. How many times more we need to talk about Pakistan. Let’s start looking at how China has progressed or maybe a Singapore or a Japan.
