China and India both suffered under foreign rulers, such as the Manchu-ruled Qing Dynasty for China and the British Empire for India. In earlier times, China was ruled by the Mongol Empire and India was ruled by the Mughals, who were Turkic and Muslim. Both experienced millions dying, such as Taiping Rebellion for China and Sepoy Rebellion for India. Both suffered after revolution and independence; the Chinese had to fend off the Japanese, and when the Communists won, they enacted policies that killed millions and made China poorer, while India had to deal with thousands of unique ethnic groups, which would later rebel against them, such as the Sikhs and Kashmiris, then they had to deal with Pakistan, which later acquired nukes to make it even more complicated. Both countries remained poor, corrupt, low IQ, dirty third world shitholes, nobody expected them to be developed, yet for some reason China managed to develop enormously, to becoming a rival of the US and building megacities with the longest high speed railway in just only decades, while India remained stagnant and didn't develop as much as China. The western approach to China is negative, however the Chinese seem to be cultured and have high IQ. They seem to be more trustable than Indians, who are dirty, arrogant, have a "jugaad" and "izzat" mentality, where they cut corners and think cleaning up after themselves is insulting. What is the cause of all of this? How come both countries that have similiar situations ended up differently? Is it the caste system in India or is there something deeper?
tl;dr china and india had similiar situations, but china rich and india poor, why?
