Democracy & Manufacturing


A few observations:

  • Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech in english
  • It is good; very impressive; could have done in US & UN
  • With world leaders, Narendra Modi is friendly & feel comfortable
  • Lot of smile; hand-shakes; selfie; photographer; hug
  • In India, no hand-shake with his cabinet team; even on their swearing-in
  • In Australia parliament, Modi appreciated the democracy.
  • Modi said, in parliament, both ruling & opposition come together
  • In Lok Sabha, Modi doesn't even have eye contact with any MP
  • In India, they didn't invite the Prime Minister for Nehru celebration
Modi made a USP - Unique Selling Proposition. That is, India is the only democratic country with manufacturing facility.

Modi tried to say; China is not a democracy; India is a democracy. So, Australia as a democratic nation better come to India for your manufacturing needs.

It will not work. 


 Traditionally, the following nations are for manufacturing:

  • Singapore
  • Malaysia
  • Taiwan
  • China
  • South Korea
  • and Japan
In the above list, except Japan, all other nations are not democracy.

In fact, democracy means freedom. Freedom and manufacturing do not go together. 

Communism; workers union & manufacturing go together.

So, it is a curse on China; for this century, they need to manufacture goods for the rest of the world.

It is not a gift; it is a curse on China.



India has already crossed that bridge.

Modern India is all about freedom; India will never go back to manufacturing.

America would never go back to manufacturing. Likewise, India also would never go backward.

Right now, innovation happens in America:

  • idea
  • concept
  • Leonardo da vinci like diagram
  • industrial design
  • prototype
  • then handover the manufacturing to China and other far-east countries.
India is in that position.

In all other countries, political leaders made a policy decision and because of that, those nations did move forward. In India, political leaders played minimum role; it's all citizens did move forward on their own; as a result, the country India moving forward.

In current India, if Boeing come to India for manufacturing; Indian youth may not be very enthusiastic in joining in Boeing.

The Indian youth may ask, "What is the job?"

Boeing may say, "Building a seat for aeroplane. It may take a week for you to build one seat. In a month, you may build four seats. In a year, you may build around 50 seats."

Doing the same, repetitive job; Indian youth may not be interested in it. In youth's perspective, it is not Boeing; it is Borrrrrring.

If you follow the history, in 1930, America was in Great Depression.

Then, in 1940, Nazi was all about manufacturing; built lot of weapons; automobiles; and scientific development.

Britain asked America for help. America didn't have enough resources to build weapons to manage Hitler. But, Americans built RADAR.

In MIT, Americans built the radar system; which could scan and give information about the movements of Hitler military. Information on real time was the key to victory.

Hitler had large army; but Churchill had information about the movement of Hitler military.

From then on, information on real time is very critical for business, government and other service sectors too.

By that time, Peter Drucker, Albert Einstein and so many others landed in America.

Peter Drucker developed Management.

Japan; the political leaders of Japan; they wanted to develop Japan; they wanted to develop management skills for their youth. 

The Japan policy was; bring management materials in Japanese language; bring management experts to Japan and give training to Japanese executives. In that way, they didn't send their entire population to America and lost the Japanese culture. Without destroying their culture, Japan could develop.

South Korea policy was mixed; they send their executives for short term to America and come back and work for the nation.

China policy. no management; just large volume for cheap labor. In fact, China didn't develop in human index; economic index may have gone up. The Chinese population have became more towards slavery. 
______________________________________________________
Indian growth and development is not by any policy or by any planned one.

It's totally natural and organic. 

If an Indian know 26 alphabets of English; noun; verb; adjective; that's enough. That Indian is qualified to go to America. 

On top of that, if that Indian could take a training on any computer program; not from IIT or IISc; just around the corner; or inside a neighbor house; four or five students; learn the syntax; ready for body shopping.

Narayana Murthy, Wipro, TCS - all body shopping companies were eagerly waiting for placing you in Cisco, Apple, Google, in San Francisco bay area.

The poor Indian; poor in computer knowledge; as well as in wealth; undergo massive transform, on the job. The first paycheck transform their house in India; in a year, that person learns a lot; could challenge a Ph.D from Stanford.

These Indian youths, as they work in Information Technology, they have to work closely with the top-executives. Now, on the job, they start learning about management from their managers. In two to three years, they become manager; then CEO.

Do you expect them to wear Khaki shorts and work in a factory; no way.

Make in India is not a good policy for this decade. Leave it to China; let them make.

Just like America; let us enjoy freedom. 
Free person only could innovate; let us innovate; let China make.

It is a curse for China to make for the entire world population. It is a lot of burden on the people of China. 

So, Democracy & Manufacturing do not go together.

Democracy & Innovation go together.
Slavery & Manufacturing go together.
