Old geographies, new orders -- China, India and the future of Asia: Rush Doshi at TEDxFulbright

  • This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Why are China and India so populous? How did they account for half of global GDP for centuries? Why did they fall from wealth and power? What does their reemergence mean for the future? What connects past and present is the enduring relevance of geography.
    Fulbright from the US to China, 2011. Defense Analyst, Long Term Strategy Group. Rush uses the distant past to think about the future. He's so convinced that China and India will play pivotal roles in tomorrow's world that he learned Mandarin and Hindi. He's traveled the eastern Himalayas, the China-Burma border, and the mountain passes between China and Pakistan.
    About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    India & China are two of the MOST ANCIENT civilizations on Earth. Even 2000 years ago...many Chinese scholars came to ancient Nalanda University & Taxila University in India for learning. Same happened the other way as well.
    If any Chinese person is reading this....there are many reasons for us to doubt each other...BUT our history is VAST & it is RICH. Let us build trust & respect. The entire world would change for the better.

A person must be blind or totally brainwashed by pro US media all over the world if don't see the reality. Japan is actually under US, Abe is a Trump servant. USA is trying to control Germany all the time, not so easy any more because we are now in EU. USA is trying in Europe same like in Asia with 'DIVIDE ET IMPERA', trying to bring some EU nations like Poland, Hungary closer to them against EU. Again, Asian is more easily to be manipulated because they still look up to the west, incl. Chinese (Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore), not mentioning SEA. American high tech industries actually built mostly by migrants from Asia.

    India and China have never fought a war (except a brief border war in 1962) in the last 5000 years. They were both rich until India was colonized and China brutalized.
    They are getting rich again and regaining their rightful place. I hope they have enough sense not to go to war ever. That would be a sure way of destroying everything both have spent years to build.

      interesting viewpoint...... Mr. Venkatesh, have you ever realized that the same mentality of seeking friendship with China at any cost was what got the Nehruvian India into the war? "At all costs" is never a good phrase for any nation's safety and security. True, a conflict might benefit the west, but so what?
      China is a conflict-creator. They gobbled up Tibet. They are seizing the Northeast. They have occupied Aksai-Chin and are pushing further into Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir (which undoubtedly belongs to India). Let them agree to return our lands to us first. Just because we as Indians are too caught up with the overoptimistic "Ahimsa" business, the Chinese are taking a ride on us.
      First, we should steel our country to be strong and to not fear war. We are a fearsome warrior people. Why turn lions into sheep?
      As Swami Vivekanada said in Chicago:
      "All of you, every single one of you, is a lion. No matter who you are. Why turn lions into meek lambs? Arise, my brethren!"

      fact Then what's the use of an industrial revolution? British manufacturing had already outpaced India's production by the 19th century because of homegrown industries. You could be right if you meant the plunder of natural resources, but don't discard the role of technology because the raw material translated to the wealth Europe enjoyed after being processed by Western technology into finished goods.

      What I did say was plunder of natural resources was possible. There had been exploitation, too, to be sure (more an effect than a cause of British dominance). But don't pretend that Western technology did not exist. It was a major factor in the rise of Britain. If you still deny that, then it means the Industrial revolution was a sham and India should just stay in the Mughal era, no phones, no computers, no cars, none.

      I am not a fan of Nehru and there are a lot of things especially the 1962 war which he could have done much better BUT many things he did - he did right. Especially the anti-coup protection and national integration. People born in our generation don't realize how vulnerable and breakbale our nation was right after independence. There were many groups which wanted to split away and make their own country - there was also the fear that the military would take over in a coup like what happened to other newly independent colonies in South Asia and elsewhere or a civil war starting due to various reasons. Also, India's population was at 400 million and growing fast while our food stockpiles were drastically low. We were facing a famine of epic proportions - our parents who were raised in the 50's/60's would remember the period when bags of aid wheat were dropped from helicopters due to famine.
      Hence, Nehru and the first batch of Indian leaders had to put their priorities on integrating our country into a strong unified whole, making the armed forces an effective but insular and secular organization which has no power or ability to make a coup and solve our impending food crisis. Add to this, they also had to raise the dismal educational level of 7% higher [the number of schools, colleges and other education institutions was dismal then].
      These were absolute foundational blocks that were necessary for any country to grow upon. Nehru and the first batch of leaders, though idealistic and inept in certain situations like war, they were brilliant in solving these issues and building a strong foundation that holds the country together even now.
      Though the Governments that came after them were either too Communistic to care about growth or were too into communal/firebrand politics to actually do any real development hence the big growth vaccum since Nehru left and any real growth happening.

    I think the reason for population growth of India was rapid development of Health facilities and food security. Back in 1900s every couple had 10 to 12 children and only few could get past their teen age due to epidemics and famine., after 1950s heath systems improved , vaccination and modern farming techniques caused huge decline in mortality rate. 80s show a trend towards population control. "We two ours two" was a famous slogan that popularized in 80s . Now many of Indian states has zero population growth.

      ​@@Arya_Adarsh China never wanted to rule the world, not even at its strongest time. China built the Great Wall to defend itself, and only did trading with countries including India during Zhenhe's time, when his massive Navy sailed all the way to Africa, and it is the best if you know Xuanzang, the monk who climbed the mountains to India to bring the Buddhism scripts back to China. Not like the westerner, Chinese people and Chinese culture does not interested in Unifying the other nations. India and China have been friends for over 2000 years, and Long live India-China friendship.

    It is a privilege that India is being compared with China despite the collosal gap that exists between the two with China undoubtedly having the upper hand.
    China has accomplished so much in such a short time that none in history have. India is nowhere as yet. It has a long way to go.
    What India needs to be credited is that it absorbed all the invasions from the west/middle east keeping the rest of Asia relatively safe and preserving it's way of life and culture, unlike what happened with Persia or North Africa didn't happen to India. That's India's true glory and achievement.

    No educated Chinese deny that China is in large part spiritually naturalistic-Buddhistic and large rivers of such spirituality originates from India. The spiritual Chinese are in fact proud that they are connected with such deep ancient Indianistic civilisation. The border war was a stupid mistake and now a deep embarassment to the Chinese. But would Great Mother India recognize her Spiritual Offspring(s) - for it is no longer just China alone, but Japan, Korea, Vietnam, ancient South East Asia that recognizes her Spiritual Motherhood?

    Europe traded with India and China not via sea, but by land (think the silk road). Only when the land route was controlled by Ottomans, Europeans had to look out for sea routes to circumvent Ottomans.
    Also, Angus Maddison himself admitted in the exact same report that it was colonization which broke the economy of India and China. The data says that the coming of the British did not, at least in the first 100 years of colonial rule, make much of a difference to the growth rate of the Indian economy.

Most likely India will face some true hardship getting out of that position, even if the west would try to help. China simply plays their cards very well.

    从长线上看,世界经济的比例一定会趋向于人口的分布,这是一个常理,确实没有什么可说的。但是还有一点,演讲者没有指出的是,在工业社会,国家内部的人际间的协作可能性才是这个国家的真正的未来。一些国家虽然人口众多,但是很大的一部分人口还是局限在自给自足或是接近于自给自足的原始状态,这些不参加与社会更精细的分工一群人,可以算成是无用人口,不但对社会发展没有更多的价值,而且是一个很大的拖累。在欧美,指的多是一些不从事生产从不谋求找工作坐吃福利的一些人,而在中国和印度,这些人口差不多就是指那些还在从事原始农业生产的农民。减少这部分人口的比例,把他们逼出来,是各国都在考虑的一个难题。在日本就是鼓励妇女工作,在中国就是城镇化,在美国则是设法增加有就业意愿的人口。
    而对印度而言,同时要健全法律保障妇女的工作权益与安全,还要尽可能的发展基础设施进行城市化,而且还要叫那些因家境殷实而不务正业的人出来工作。最难的,它还是民主体制。
    民主体制的问题是,1,可能为了反对而反对,2,为了选票短期决策,3,不愿意付出代价的短期执政。

You stole a large part of Indian territory by attacking India in 1962. Your army took over Tibet and so many Tibetiens fled and refuge in India. What is with you expansionist Ideology? Is chinese government full of Psycopaths? The world knows that China was brutalized for a long time, But how does that give you right to brutalize others by illegaly occupying their land and murdering their people? Only country responsible for atrocities in China was Japan, But you dont have guts to do anything against them. So you try to pick on weak nations and backstab others who lay faith in you. You know who does that? A bully or a psycopath. I am still wondering, What did India do to deserve that?

    I am quite concerned about the superficial overview from the speakers. Concentrating on Top-Down approach from concluding world population and GDP in to their dominental power increase.
    Conclude the Bottom Up approach, that the individuals, who studied, who worked at farms, constructed, teach and spread morals.
    It is the synthese of both approaches, which got both countries in their situation.
    But i am not sure whether it is not obvious from 1950 to 2020, that the population of china and india tripled (500.000.000 to 1.500.000.000).
    Comparission with Germany 1950-2020(65.000.000 to 83.000.000). Consider 1990 into Germany with their reuinion (67.000.000 to 81.000.000) because of GDR and BRD.
    So basically consuming most of the ressources, get aided by help programms from UNO and NGO's from 50ties to 90ties (imagine China poverty at 60ties with their desastrous radical increase of wrong food numbers for farmers which lead to starvation) and raising a country as Nr.1 is not very self reflective.
    Easy to say: Kids Results are also part of parents work.
    Take Germany with the tiny 83.000.000 which is the 4th largest economy, took different refugees and taking global responsibility in to sharing patents (Max Planck and Frauenhofer institutes). Think about the english master degree programms for indians, chinese in US, England, Germany etc.
    So the interdependance of all actors around the world with common ethically spirit forms true economy.
