Why India, unlike China, won’t be an economic superpower

Commuters walk on Howrah Bridge as Police restrain all vehicular activities on the bridge, ahead of a demonstration by India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), in Kolkata on September 13, 2022, to protest against the ongoing corruption in the eastern Indian state of West Bengal. The agitation was prompted by the recent arrest of Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The demonstration aimed to reach Nabanna, the office of Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal and chief of TMC. (Photo by Sankhadeep Banerjee/NurPhoto via Getty Images)
