Book Summary of Superpower? : The Amazing Race Between China's Hare and India's Tortoise

Is India ready for superpower status? Or are we irretrievably behind in the game of catch-up with China?

In his career as a journalist and one of India’s top entrepreneurs, Raghav Bahl has often faced a barrage of questions from visiting businesspeople bewildered by India: Why are Indian regulations so weak and confusing? Why is your foreign investment policy so restrictive? How is it that you speak such good English? Inevitably, the questions are followed by the observation: But, you know, that’s not the way it is in China. Indeed, even as the two economies are together projected to dominatethe world, there is a palpable difference in the way China and India work on the ground. China is spectacularly effective in building infrastructureand is currently investing almost half its GDP. Meanwhile, India is a promising economy: more than half its GDP is consumed by its billion-plus population; half its population is younger than twenty-five, giving it a unique demographic advantage; 350 million Indians understand English, making it the largest English-using country in the world.

In the race to superpower status, who is likely to breast the tape China share or India’s tortoise? For anyone looking to understand China and India and the ways in whichthese two nations are about to change the history of the world, this is the book to read.

Lame attempt at selling old wine in new bottle

Extremely mediocre writing that tells nothing but what everyone in the world knows - China is a brute force communist country and hence progressing, while India is a country with great potential being held back by political unwillingness, corruption and the chalta hai attitude of the citizens. Now, didn't we all know that already. This book is a bad buy even at the discounted price of Flipkart!!!

Book full of Statistics

Raghav has done a statistical comparison between the two Asian giants. Some of the facts are quite obvious but gives a whole new perspective once you compare it with the statistics given in the book.

Both economies are fighting hard to become number uno. Since globalisation has integrated the world and with the current economic downturn it becomes very interesting to read the pros and cons of growing economies.

India and China both have massive population, statistically India have more youth population whereas China has less. Now if you put this statistics 20 year down the line it will become obvious which Nation will have more energy.

Both the goverments have to live upto the rising expectations of the Youth so that we do not witness another Brain Drain.
