What is the difference between Indian and Chinese nationalism? What were their main threats to each other?
Which would be more successful?

This is during Cold War:

Well! We need to discuss the similarity of the two first. First of all, nationalism is is a term that refers to a doctrine or political movement that holds that a nation—usually defined in terms of ethnicity or culture—has the right to constitute an independent or autonomous political community based on a shared history and common destiny.

Indian nationalism refers to the consciousness and expression of political, social, religious and ethnic influences that help mould Indian national consciousness.

Chinese nationalism refers to cultural, historiographical, and political theories, movements and beliefs that assert the idea of a cohesive, unified Chinese people and culture under a unified country known as China. Some claim that one diffculty in this definition is the wide variation and ambiguities in the definition of the term "Chinese."

Remember there are hundreds of ethics groups live in China. For China, nationlism "glue" everyone together. Once one of the ethnic group declare independent, some other group will declare the same. We could see China split into several nations like the former Soviet Union.

For India nationalism, weak China means strong India. For centuries, India promote independence of Tibet and invaded Kashmir during the cold war era (war with both Pakistan and China). As I mention, that may lead to chaos in China.

Although Sino-India war was won by the Chinese, the Chinese retreated 20 KM behind the McMahon Line due to the fact they may not be able to hold thier border in the long run. Both governement declare this is a friendly year. Nonetheless, each government still claim the disputed Southern Tibet territory as their own.

Which would be more successful? But the look of the outcome during the cold war. India came out ahead of China slightly. However, China still keep it's territorial integraty for the most part.

Answer 2

India has a massive lead on China in the software off-shoring game. But, behind the scenes, the Chinese are planting the seeds that could eventually make them major players in global outsourcing.China's coding is better. The Indian firms throw a lot of programmers at a project rather than architecting it in the most effective way, and they don't write code efficiently, which means it takes a lot of computing power to run the programs.These are provocative claims.

These are two countries at totally different levels in terms of national average IQ and economical potentials. It has been long known that northeastern Asians including Chinese have highest national average IQ among all nations

US GDP is 13 trillion and China’s GDP is only 2.4 trillion. In another word, China’s GDP is less than 20% of US.

Where does India’s GDP stand? India’s GDP is less than 0.8 trillion or 1/3 of China’s GDP. What does this mean? Let’s do some simple math. Let’s assume US’s GDP stays stagnant with development and China can maintain a net growth rate of 7% (BTW inflation adjusted growth rate is very good), using an accruing formula (1+0.07)^n, it will take China another 25 years to reach US today’s level. It will take much longer for China to reach US’s per capita GDP. How about India using the same criteria? It will take 15 years for India to reach China’s current level.

Their main threat was nuclear weapons program at one time, but now it's the race to secure energy sources for their rapidly expanding economy.
