s subramanyan(Navi Mumbai )1 hr ago (03:33 PM)China does its job well. But what are we doing. A late riser in infra projects in the bordeer. Not even a rail line has been laid between Arunachal Pradesh and mainaldn India. One MP from Arunachao pradesh in exasperation demanded his state be permitte dto have a line with China! China is laying a rail line with Pakistan via Afghanistan. But oyur Railways have been deprioved of funds and all the money goes to some stupid schemes that burn a big hole in our budget. All for keeping the Dyunansty in power..
中國幹的好，我們在幹什麽啊。在邊境拖拖拉拉的搞些所謂的項目。甚至連阿魯納恰爾邦和印度本土之間都沒有一條鐵路。一位來自阿魯納恰爾邦的MP憤怒的要求建一條與中國聯通的鐵路。中國正在鋪設途徑阿富汗的中巴鐵路。而我們的鐵路的經費被貪汙，都填進了那些愚蠢的所謂議題的黑洞裏麵，搞的預算千瘡百孔。一切為了保持王朝（甘地王朝？）的權力。。

desi(Mumbai)2 hrs ago (01:49 PM)On one hand China is building airport at such altitude spending several Million $ in 3 yrs..whereas India needs few Billion $ to build airport at normal places which takes min 4-5 yrs time frame. China can really claim the phrase developing. Indian leaders are still busy with quota and cast reservations...dont know when will they get time to wake up and do something fruitful for the nation.
一方麵，中國在這樣的海拔用三年花費數百萬美元建設機場..而印度需要數十億美元花4-5年的時間在平地規劃機場。中國真的可以跳躍發展。印度領導人仍然忙於選票......不知道他們何時會才會醒過來，並為國家做一些富有成效的事情。

Gaurav(Delhi)3 hrs ago (12:58 PM)While China goes on and on with decisions and implementation, our lame-duck democratic government, plagued by policy paralysis continues on and on! No end in sight.
當中國決策並實施的時候，我們的民主政府就像一隻跛腳鴨，隻能困擾於政策的癱瘓，沒完沒了，看不到頭。
