So how are we close to being a superpower? It said that India might actually be the third largest economy by 2030. That's just six or seven years away. And I don't think that kind of development which is needed will take place in this time space. So yeah, there's a lot of halbaloo about India being close to being a superpower and fifth largest economy in the world with this how much you'd drive on a freeway
And you see so much underdeveloped strips all along that road route, as the Americans call it. And you have large empty patches of land which apparently have been bought up by builders and not yet developed. And everything is moving at such a slow pace. So I don't know why we are beating our chests and tom Tombing, the fact that we are the fifth largest economy in the world

But that said, under the circumstances, in air quotes, this is the best that people can do. Now, if you and I have a better idea, let's go out there, leave our jobs and join the municipal community. Run an election. Chand then execute the ideas, fix the country the way we want. Will we do that? Well, let's let the truth be out there
There is simply no visible growth, progress or development on either side of the road. It's a shabby shanty highway. And as you would notice in any part of India, it's a very heterogeneous mix of Shanty villages. Shabby villages. And then you'll have a couple of apartment and condominiums, and you'll have some industrial development, you'll have some random educational institution, but that's it. It's also haphazard. So I don't see a clear model of development

Is it working 100% anywhere else? It isn't either. I can cite a lot of global economies where things, despite excellent planning, are not working. Talk about Germany. I can talk about United States. I can talk about Britain. There are lots of instances where, despite the best intentions and plans they don't land the way they are intended to be. And so we've got to exercise patience because we are spectators, we are viewing it from a distance
Yeah. Anne, great reply. Again. Thank you. See, to address the one specific question you asked, how do we adjust the villages? It's fantastic that you've lived in Singapore, Chand. Singapore had a fantastic model. They made HTB housing. So, like, Chandelier has sectors. Sectors which are self sufficient, with markets and hospitals and chemistry shops and this and that
It doesn't have the global influence like the United States. But China does have a lot of influence. I wonder what the conflict is going to be like between the United States, chand india, the UK. Russia, Germany, China. If India ever does become a superpower, it's going to be crazy. I would even say this. I wonder if the new war or I wonder if our new conflict is going to be with India. The United States versus India. The UK

I really appreciate your thoughts, and I sense your passion of trying to improve the image of the area of the country and everything that is truly appreciated. I completely second you on that. All I'm saying is let us all try and see what groundwork is happening and where the roadblocks are. If there is an intellectual challenge, can we help support that? If there is a logistics challenge, can we help I'll redirect that and so on and so forth. Anyways, have a good evening ahead
Spend all the money we need to spend, but make sure you buy a ground floor house, because she has a phobia of earthquakes and she said, I don't want to die in a tower. I'm aware of these seismic activity things. Your response is great and lovely hearing from an experienced, seasoned person like yourself. All right. Good night, buddy. Thanks. Think it's

But one thing I know about my country is that we don't have expansionist ideas like China does. China wants to literally rule the world. India is a friendly country. We are on good terms with the United States, we are on good terms with the UK. So I don't see a geopolitical struggle happening because India does not lay claim to any territories except the disputed territories where Pakistan and China have occupied parts of India
