The Indian elite suffer greatly from terminal envy of China’s rise.

hanks to the caste system, high caste Indians see themselves as some sort of elite, hence the ease of their toadying to Israel and US Jewish elites.

And the hundreds of years of English rule, as well as de-developing a fantastically rich country and killing tens of millions in a series of Great Famines, created a local compradore class that identifies closely with Western elites, and sees itself as leading India into the Western camp, as a species of ‘honorary Whites'(northern Indians are Aryans after all).

The Hindutva fascist Modi regime has decided to exist as subaltern underlings of the USA, and join the encirclement of China, and ignore the huge possibilities of co-operation with China. It is a mistake that India, whose elites insanely believe that they will somehow surpass China in the future, will come to regret.

@Mulga: “… high caste Indians see themselves as some sort of elite, hence the ease of their toadying to … US Jewish elites.”

I would expand that: toadying to the Anglo-Zio-Capitalist-Colonialist elite generally. Like the little English boy in a Japanese POW camp, who identified with the “Empire of the Sun” because they were so strong.

In “A Suitable Boy” Vikram Seth described this mentality in the Indian character named “Billy”. As for the Capitalist affinity it is endemic: loan slavery from generation to generation was an Indian institution long before it became dominant in the West as “quantitative easing” and “too big to fail”.

A prophetic book from the 1960s on the evil mass psychology of Anglo-Colonial-Elitism not only on the sub-continent India but also across almost the entire continent of Africa, is “L’Afrique Noire est Mal Place’e” (rough translation, If You Want to Get Anywhere Do Not Start from Black Africa).

The author compares Post War Africa with Post War China. Africa hardly saw WW2 whereas China saw so much that people ate mud just to fill their bellies. Africa was one huge Colony of France, UK, USA and Zio Capitalism. The African elite modeled themselves on the FUKZUSA elite: Bash, Grab and Holdfast, force others to do the work. Maoist China was communist: distribute fairly, no elite.

As a South African I regret to say that book from the 60s has proved true about the continent I grew up in. Perhaps an Indian could tell us what that book says about the present state of the subcontinent.
