Time changed guys. India is expected to grow 9% while China is to grow 8% in 2010.

I read next 100 years, India has been mentioned like twice in the whole 350 pages. With all due respect for Friedman, I don't think he has even given India sufficient thought. When it comes to western affairs, he dwells deeply into all the nuances but only skims those of Asian countries accept China and Japan. And lastly, he uses certain standard economic indicators but does not analyse economy as deeply as he does military and diplomacy, even though economy is the basis for the other two.

Friedman hit the bull's eye!
India is a cocktail of hundreds of nations.
No wonder, only 2 per cent of the population paid income taxes in 2008.
Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, the British emulated the Mughal governance model to maintain stability in south Asia.
In 1950, per capita income of India was 3 per cent of USA.
In 1975, per capita income of India was 2 per cent of USA.
In 2000, per capita income of India was 1 per cent of USA.
The nation is dying, yet hallucinating.

I bought Friedman's book The Next 100 Years, in it there is not one word about India. He never mentions India, obviously he doesn't rate India. "India Shining" has morphed into India Fading.

This is a stupid analysis. Compare states like Newyork,California with states like Alabama,Louisiana. Is there not a difference in state wise growth. In India some states are growing faster and others are catching up. Army, Navy and Airforce are controlled by the state government. I don't see any logic in arriving at this analysis. Why Would Mexico or Turkey do better than India?

India's services-oriented economy is inherently more resilient and adaptable than China's manufacturing-based economy.
As for India being a British invention, has Friedman forgotten the invention of America from a group of colonies? Look at the inexorable entropic effects of immigration, both legal and illegal, on the American polity. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
