"Asia was richer...bla bla bla.."
"China was not behind.. bla bla..."

So where's the evidence? Where is the great buildings, architecture, art, science?
Chinas history = poor peasants + no innovation!

Science methods inveted by Ibn al-Haytham.

Americans are so dumb .

No such thing as an " asian " .

Indians are not Chinese and vice versa, they look nothing alike , they speak completely different, different religion / culture.

why I wonder is this deliberate confusion on the part of some people ? what agenda is this.

Kishore talks a number of falsities:

1) China has not been at the bottom the last 1000 years , Zheng he greatest fleet of the day , Imjin Ming kills 100k samurais [ conveniently 'forgotten' by world's media]. Ming China = samurai killa = a superpower.

2) his own country is prime example of copying the west and losing it's own culture.

3) India is NOT rising , it has the largest number of AIDS cases in 1 country another conveniently forgotten fact.
