  We're talking about whether India has made progress from its own past. Why are you bringing former Soviet states for comparison?

    Why shouldn't I compare India (born in 1947) with Soviet states (born in 1991)? Do HDI or Wikipedia or I need your permission?
    - rrrazdan 15y ago
      Well because its absurd to call them born in 1991. Tomorrow if Catalonia or Basque nation were to secede or Scotland for that matter, would you call them born in 2011 in this context and then compare them with India?

      Because that is not the topic under discussion? We were talking about improvements in India, not absolute comparisons.

  Can't compare India to former Soviet countries- the Soviet countries had a much better infrastructure/educational/standard of living base. In some former Soviet countries (Moldova for example), the standard of living has declined since the 80s, India on the other hand, seems to be improving.

  Global Peace Index: Uzbekistan - 110, INDIA - 128 Karimov boiled his people alive. I don't whether that means I should take the rankings with a grain of salt, or weep over India actually coming out below.
