here its worth saying India's relation with China, deeper than ocean and higher than sky.

why club India with Russia ?
Nothing in common except a long term military equipment trade relationship

Take a look at the western border in this map, it’s a sadly ignored part of history that if it wasn’t for sikhs pushing punjab border that far west afghans would still rule till indus.

also, its shows Rule of Sikh on Lahore including Peshawar and Multan upto 1839 to 1849.
since fall of Marath by 1820

the Third Anglo-Maratha War (1817–1818) resulted in the loss of Maratha independence. It left the British in control of most of the Indian subcontinent. The Peshwa was exiled to Bithoor (Marat, near Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh) as a pensioner of the British.

US is the sole Super Power of the world in true sense.
You attack any American ally and you will have Americans fighting with their whole might against you.
Russia,China and India have very little true-alliance building behaviour.They are mostly business oriented dealers.
They will never be able to compete US when it comes to building alliances.
And alliance is what that builds a solid block to set a world order.

China despite its military might is afraid to come out of its shell and build alliance with anti-US countries and challenge the US hegemony.
Russia is simply exhausted now.
India's approach is always careful.
They will never take risk
Typical Subcontinental behaviour.

Chinese are old buddies thanks to their one child Policy.they can't expend their men to build their influence on the world.

Russia is a giant gas station owned by oligarchs.

Russia military innovation has been close to zero post Cold War.

Russian military industrial base has been declining slowly

Educated Russians have been migrating. The population is stagnant.

we find India-Russia-Tehran combined power increased consistently since 1990

"I have traveled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such calibre, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and, therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self-esteem, their native self-culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation."

18 of the last 20 centuries China and India were the biggest economies​

A quick look at the above chart and you may be surprised to see that China and India were by far the biggest economies in the first 18 of the last 20 centuries. Sure, it is all based on estimations and using different time intervals on the x-axis is actually not done. But nevertheless, we can draw some valuable insights from this chart.

America’s Wealthiest Religions?

osted by Sundari in General, USA on 02 25th, 2010 | 14 responses
An interesting infographic circulating the Web has many people talking about the relationship between wealth and religion. The graphic, titled The Almighty Dollar, was created by GOOD and Column Five Media and breaks down income levels in the U.S. by religion. Data is based on information from the Pew Forum and it compares the income level of each religion to the national average. From the website: It’s no secret that the distribution of wealth is inequitable in the United States across racial, regional, and socio-economic groups. But there is a distinct variance among and within America’s faiths as well.

If you click on the image above, it will enlarge and you’ll see information broken down by several religious groups such as Jewish, Christian (divided into several groups), Buddhist, Mormon, Muslim etc. You’ll notice that Sikhism is not one of them (not sure why?). There are five income brackets (Less than $30,000 to $100,000+) listed and numbers signifying what percentage of each religious group falling into which income bracket.

43% and 46% of Hindus and Jews, respectively, fell into the $100,000+ income bracket while 8% and 9% of Christians (Historically Black Churches) and Jehovah’s Witnesses, respectively, fell into this same income bracket. Interestingly, Buddhists look to have the most equal distribution for each income bracket.

Many conversations on the internet have focused on the idea that immigrants make up a large portion of religious groups such as Hindus and Muslims. This is probably quite true. Individuals from these groups who are in the United States today, are probably more educated. The representation of these groups in this data sample is highly selective. Wealth is therefore probably more related to education rather than religion.

Other conversations suggest that those religious groups who have the lowest percentage in the $100,000+ also give the most money to their place of worship.

Having said that, what religious group’s distribution would Sikhs most likely follow? How would those individuals, who identify as Sikhs, be represented on this infographic?

Diwali's profile is growing, particularly in the US. In 2022, President Joe Biden marked Diwali at the White House with the biggest-ever celebration. Recognition has also appeared at the state and city levels: the Pennsylvania State Senate passed a bill earlier in April this year making Diwali an official holiday state holiday; and in New York City, Mayor Eric Adams announced in June that Diwali will become a school holiday in the city's public school system, the largest in the country.

You just stopped short of saying India's bhikharee economy is better than the US. Why stop there - khayesh puri kar lo...

As if $2200 nominal per capita GDP and $80,000 are comparable...dimag thik hai or nahi ??

That is why today, one of the largest number of illegals caught in US borders are Indians.

I tell you - you Indians are a circus around here, berry berry enturr-tayninggg.

US-west would be less than average Asian per capita income, if we consider value of currency

if we see the graph as below, China would be maintaining its first spot considering bubble/hollow US-West economies. Chinese economy has share of export money/foreign money in its GDP on PPP.
and US? considering its bubble within, i find its no place on top 2

@waz, @LeGenD, @WebMaster bhais please take a look at the post above.

This same pointless post was cross posted to many threads (reply to me which makes no sense) and this person is spamming all threads with these irrelevant Godi Media unwanted garbage posts. His activity needs immediate scrutiny and review please.

I am going to ignore all his posts for now.
