There are huge differences between India and Burma. And, of course, the context here is these thousands of years of development of Indian civilization before British. Of course, every good insight about the proper way of living, be it of Upabishads, of Buddha or of Christ has been ruined by social institutions made by its "followers" to get a decent living out of it. Nevertheless, the emphasis on inner rather than social development is an essence of the Indian culture. As for China - it is too complicated. In times of the early dynasties they cultivated the same virtues - like statesmanship only for the best educated, etc but China is too big and too diverse and too dynamic to speak about it as one entity.
