The economic development of India and China can be divided into 2 parts:(1) The first phase when both countries developed on their own. Then India had Jawahar Lal and China had chairman Mao.(2) Second phase when India and China started allowing FDI.India performed worse than China in both phases. In my view, Mao had laid the foundation of the reforms brought by Deng Xiaoping in China. In this answer, I will discuss the steps taken by India and China during the period of the economic reforms(FDI).This phase started around1974 in China and in 1991 in India. FDI started entering both countries but China overtook us in technical production and especially in weapon manufacturing while India continued to lose self-sufficiency in engineering and technology. So, what is the reason behind this?The reason is → kind of FDI in India and China, apart from many other reasons which include better land laws and judiciary. The things related to FDI have been explained in this answer, rest are in this Kushagra Yadav's answer to What are the factors responsible for the slow development rate of India as compared to China? How can we come at par to countries like the USA and China?__________FDI: China vs India————-(1) MNCs are investing in India on these terms that whatever the profit they will make in Rupees, India will have to pay dollars in exchange.For instance, let an MNC invest $100crores for some bullet train project in India. So the MNC will give $100crore to the GoI(RBI) and will get Rs.100x70 crore in exchange.Now, suppose the MNC makes a profit of 5 times of investment in the next 10 years by running bullet trains. The profit of the company would be 7000x5 = 35,000 crore. Now the company would deposit the entire money in the RBI and the RBI would have to return equivalent $$.Means, GoI is bound to pay 35,000/70 = $500 cr to this MNC. The liability to pay dollars against the profit(or capital) is called the repatriation.India has opened the door for FDI in Infrastructure, media, machinery, services, defense, banking, insurance, real estate, social media, IT, mining, education, health, etc. Therefore, the more these companies will grow in India. more profit in Rupee they will earn. And in exchange for these profits in rupee, we will have to pay dollars. India doesn’t have dollar printers, only rupee printers we have. So, from where we would bring the dollars? Since our export is already down, and therefore we are losing dollars here also, we will have to do disinvestments in govt’s properties.This means we will have to sell our natural resources. This selling is what the govt., media, and so-called intellectual call disinvestment and privatization or PPP model. Like we sold the Coal India, have started selling railway stations, tracks of trains, ICICI and HDFC have been sold, SBI is in the way, many mines we have sold to the foreigners, etc.By selling the govt get dollars for repatriation and import of necessary things. But the selling of these objects has a limit. When we would have left nothing to sell, the country would be declared bankrupt. Dozen of countries have become insolvent.How did China solve this problem?China took 2 measures to overcome the repatriation when it opened up the economy in 1978:(i) China refused to pay dollars in exchange for profit earned in Yuan by the foreign company. China put this condition that it will pay the dollars only for capital investment by the company. If the company wants more dollars, it would have to make exports.Ex: Let a company T invests $100 cr in China, then the Chinese Central Bank would give it an equivalent Yuan, say, 100x7 = 700 cr Yuan. Now if T earns 5 times in the next 10 years then it would have 700x5 = 3500 cr Yuan.But Chinese govt would not pay dollars for the exchange of these Yuan. China would only give $100 cr that the company had invested. If the company wants to make more dollars then it would have to make exports.If T exports, China would earn dollars and, in this way, whatever dollars would come into China’s central bank, it would pay it to T for the exchange of Yuan it earned in China. Due to this system, liability to pay dollars doesn’t come to China. And in this way, China saved its economy from the possibility of repatriation.(ii) There are many companies that cannot export, such as McDonald's or pizza companies. And foreign tourists who come to China need American products like Pepsi, McDonald, etc. If these products are not available in China, foreign tourism will decrease in China and they will lose the foreign exchange.China introduced a new currency FEC yuan to solve this problem. It is also like yuan. But foreign consumer companies could sell their products only for the FEC, not for the normal yuan.In this way, if a foreign tourist arrives in China, he collects his dollars and takes FEC yuan. He will give FEC in exchange for whatever foreign product he wants to buy in China. And that company can deposit these FEC with the Chinese government and can take dollars. If the foreign company sells its products in exchange for the normal yuan, the Chinese government will not give the dollar in exchange for it. In this way, China maintained foreign tourism by running double currency and also avoided paying dollars.————————(2) Multinational companies and missionaries have a joint package. Therefore, in the second phase of the country where FDI will come, there will be large-scale conversion. The structure of government schools and government hospitals will be broken, poverty will thrive so that conversion and cheap labor opportunities would increase.Read more about it here Kushagra Yadav's answer to What is FDI?The main goal of multinational companies is to create economic, strategic and cultural control over the country so that the natural resources can be looted at a small cost. With the control of media in foreigners’ hands, the owners of multinational companies have the power to control who would win and who would be defeated in elections. By controlling the public by the media, the leaders come under control and after controlling the leaders, the owners of multinational companies control the country by making the leaders their puppets. But the media shows that local leaders are controlling the situation.Apart from this, with the introduction of FDI, big companies slowly swallow the business of local indigenous units and monopolize the entire market. The basis of this entire exercise is that the country should be kept incompetent militarily. If there is military self-reliance in such a country, then they can overthrow them by using force any day. Therefore, every country in which multinational companies go breaks the backbone of the local arms manufacturing institutions of that country. Once the military has lost self-sufficiency, such a country is actually under the control of multinational companies. As you are constantly watching in India.How did China deal with this problem?China did not allow foreign media to do business. Social media is very powerful today for the exchange of information and it has political significance. If the big companies of foreign media and social media come to China, then the local units of China will not be able to grow and the foreigners will have a monopoly on the media. That is why China banned Facebook, Google, WhatsApp, Yahoo, Google Maps, YouTube, Twitter, Blog Spot, Instagram, etc. so that local units like Weibo in this area had the opportunity to flourish and today all the Internet of China and the social media network is running by their own companies.Local units and indigenous industrialists of India could also set up companies like Facebook, Twitter, Google for India, but Indian governments bribed foreigners and handed over India's market.It is noteworthy that the reason behind the worldwide expansion of companies like Facebook and Google is that these companies are supported by the US government (CIA). Both Facebook-Google companies make losses, but the US government pays for it and maintains them in the market. But unfortunately, the government of India also helps to grow Facebook and Google and allowed them in the country. While China prohibited them and supported local units, that’s why their media remained under the control of Chinese companies.In addition, China did not provide opportunities for foreign companies to do business in important sectors like defense, banking, mining. Because of this, China's indigenous weapons manufacturing companies could flourish and today China makes all the weapons from fighter aircraft to warships, radars, submarines, missiles, etc., by which their army has become self-sufficient. India has handed over its entire defense sector to foreigners, due to which our army has become a parasite today and this situation will continue to go from bad to worse. Since, the strength of a country is decided by the fact that if the army of such a country is using the weapons of foreign countries, or make its own weapons!At the same time, China did not allow foreigners to buy land in China, due to which foreigners could not buy land in China on a large scale. The judiciary works faster in China with 10 times more judges than India and their appointment is just a written examination, and the judiciary is the factor that directly affects the industrial development.Read more about it here Kushagra Yadav's answer to What is the 'jury system' and how does it improve industrial productivity and engineering?So by such systematic decisions, China grew despite FDI and achieved self-sufficiency. China's exports had increased so much that the dollar became a surplus, and they started paying dollars in exchange for the yuan due to the printing of laws protecting indigenous units of technology.————-_————Now a question may be coming in your mind that, why did the American bribes could not force China to do a repatriation agreement?Actually, this attack was faced by China and India both. Indira ji refused to allow a repatriation agreement and FDI, and America's relations with Mrs. Indira Gandhi deteriorated due to this reason, and that is why the US started efforts to bring down Indira ji. They managed to topple her but she returned to power again.At the same time, China was also facing this pressure, but China threatened the US that they would give their nuclear weapons technology to Iran, and because of this the US had to retreat !!Maybe this is the reason that Indira Gandhi started the Nuclear project —Pokhran-1.============Today all areas of the Indian economy have been opened for foreign investment. We are zero in weapon manufacturing. We are nowhere in technical production. Entire information revolution like the computer, mobile, TV, internet, social media, print media, electronic media, etc. are handed over to foreigners. Banks are also in the hands of foreigners. All important areas ranging from rail, station, rail track, roads, traffic, mining are under the control of foreigners and the control is increasing.Solution:This situation can be reversed only by introducing such laws, which will enable local units in India to produce technology. My proposal for this is to implement the Jury Court, Wealth Tex, and WOIC law. At the same time, we should cancel the repatriation agreement with immediate effect.(1) We should limit the liability of the Indian government to pay unlimited dollars to foreign companies in return for the profits earned. You can send a postcard to the Prime Minister's Office regarding this.Write in the postcard that - Prime Minister, please publish in the notification Gazette to limit the unlimited liability of dollar repatriation #Repatriation(2) To promote local units, we should demand the PM to publish the Jury Court law in the Gazette. See proposed jury court statute here All Drafts Pdf - Google Drive(3) Apart from this, foreign investment in the areas of defense, banking, mining, etc. will come under WOIC law and only Indian companies will be able to work in these areas.(WOIC = wholly owned by Indian companies.)

I recently wrote a comprehensive guide about exactly the same thing (link here)Build a solid career in tech without a CS majorAlice is a 2nd year material science and metallurgical engineering student at IIT Bombay. She worked hard during her JEE preparation, but ended up screwing JEE. She secured a rank around 2,000. She is from a middle class family and she wanted to opt for Computer Science so that she can build a career in tech and support her family and make her parents proud. However, during JEE counseling, she was able to narrow down her choices to the following:Choose CS at a tier 2 collegeChoose IIT Bombay material science and metallurgical engineeringSince she had heard a lot about IIT Bombay, she ended up choosing IIT Bombay material sciences. However, soon after a few courses in the first year, she realized that she doesn’t like her stream and rather wants to build a career in tech. She also realizes that it is impossible to get her branch changed to Computer Science because the competition is too stiff and her meagre 7 pointer is way below the cutoff of 9.6.Now she is stuck with:Low gradesA branch that she doesn’t likeCannot pursue her love for programmingWorried about jobs and placements at the end of undergradAre you also someone who is like Alice? Did you also choose a branch just for the sake of getting a better college? Are you from a middle class family and want to use your undergrad to build a solid career in tech so that you can support your family? Are you the one who has lost all hope of your career in tech after your first year of undergrad?If the answer to these questions is ‘yes’, I have a surprise for you. Read on!Let me talk a bit about myself. I am a fourth year Computer Science and Engineering undergrad at IIT Bombay. I have spent 3.5 excellent years at IIT Bombay and I have 3 more months before I graduate. This place is excellent, full of smart people. This place has given me a lot — I was a student, this place made me an engineer. I feel like I owe a lot to my college.I have always seen people complain about their branch. This is what I hear quite often from my friends in other branches:I always wanted to study Computer Science, but ah, only top 50 rankers get it, I wasn’t even top 500.My branch is extremely boring. Most of it is cramming. It sucks!I wish I could go back and choose Computer Science in that tier 2 college. Why the hell did I choose my branch?There was a common behavior among all of these people — they all wanted to study CS, but could not do so. JEE rank is the culprit. What was more surprising was that most of them did not utilize the gazillions of programming resources available on the internet that claim to make you a programmer.Then I had a word with a few of them and I got to know that they are confused. Below are the most common questions:How should I proceed ahead?Should I learn web development?Should I try Android app development?What programming language should I learn?How many programming languages should I learn?How to make a website?Should I try freelancing?I was in close contact with a friend of mine who was in a situation very similar to Alice. Let us call my friend as Bob. Bob was fed up of his branch. His only aim was to go in the industry and earn money and make his parents proud. Since I was from Computer Science background, I tried helping Bob and within 2 years, this is what Bob’s boasts off:Hired as a software engineer at a decent tech company with twice the average package of an IITian. No doubt, Bob grabbed the highest package in his department where all other people were below the average packageSoftware engineering internship at a Mumbai based startup at the end of his third yearToday, Bob is happy and is looking forward to his life ahead as a successful software engineer. He is happy that he will earn enough to support his family and himself.Plenty of resources on the internet claim to teach you programming, but the fact is that none of them give a proper road-map and non-CS students find it really hard to figure out what should be done first and what should be done later. They end up picking a difficult topic and then give up easily. For instance, Bob wanted to try android app development in his 2nd year but gave up because he couldn’t understand even the basics.In this blog post, I want to target people like Alice and Bob and want to create a resource that will help every non-CS student build a career as a software engineer. My vision in writing this blog post is that every student has a right to learn Computer programming in the right way. Every student should have enough resources that can help her/him to build a career as a software engineer.Enough of context, let us begin :)I am assuming that you are probably in your 2nd/3rd/4th year of undergrad in a non-CS department, looking for building a career as a software engineer. I further assume that you have done a basic programming course, which is typically compulsory in most colleges. This means that you are aware of at least one of these programming languages — C, C++, Java, Python.First a bit of motivation:The demand for software engineers in India is very high and with more and more new startups, the demand will certainly increase.The starting salaries of software engineers in India are typically twice the salary of other streams. If you are from a tier 1 college, expect even more.Some famous person has said — the best investment you can do to yourself in today’s era is to teach yourself how to program.Let us now talk about how exactly your approach should be so as to achieve your goal of becoming a software engineer.3rd semesterBy the end of first year, you would have certainly completed a basic programming course. For your 3rd semester, you should aim for a course in probability and statistics. Almost all colleges offer such courses and you should enroll in the course offered by your institute. You can choose to sit through the course. But definitely take a probability class early in your curriculum. I have heard that the course offered by MIT OCW is quite good.Taking probability class will also help you reinforce some of your linear algebra concepts which are important for many CS courses.4th semesterTake the following 2 courses:Data structures and algorithmsDiscrete mathematicsData structures and algorithms is a course without which you cannot proceed ahead in computer science. It is a fundamental course and every student must take one such course.This course will be slightly hard. It is highly technical and even the best students get bowled when challenging data structures and algorithms problems are thrown. This course will literally be a test of your patience and so, be patient. If you are able to complete this course, you will be 50% closer to your goal.Discrete mathematics is a course that teaches you mathematics for computer science. You will be studying mathematical induction, combinatorics and other stuff.Here are the resources I would strongly recommend:Algorithms, Part I — Princeton University | Coursera. This is an excellent course. The course is taught in Java. If you don’t know Java, that’s okay. Spend considerable time in understanding what the professor is teaching and try to implement it in whichever programming language you know.Mathematics for Computer Science. This course is offered by MIT and known to be quite good.Recommended books:For data structures and algorithms, I would recommend the book suggested by Robert Sedgewick. The other recommended book is Cormen, but it is slightly more involved and contains rigorous mathematics which you might not appreciate.For discrete mathematics, I would recommend Kenneth Rosen — an excellent book.Keep in mind — write as much code as you can. Unless you write code, you won’t learn. Try to implement everything you learn in Data structures class.Summer break after 2nd yearUse the summer break to hone your programming skills. Head to this link — Sphere Online Judge (SPOJ). SPOJ is an online judge. What is that?SPOJ is an archive of problems that are to be solved by writing code. Consider this simple problem — SPOJ.com — Problem TEST. You need to take input from the user until the user enters ‘42’. Stop as soon as you get 42. Now, observe how to solve this here — Solution to TEST in C. Basically, programming judges have very strict submission guidelines. Don’t print “Enter a number:” when you want to take a number as input. It doesn’t work that way. You submit the code without printing crap. Just print what is specified in the problem statement. Read the sample test cases to get an idea. Do a Google search to understand how online judges work.Solve the first 100 problems in the link that I gave you above. Trust me, you will become a coding ninja if you do this. You will be better than some of your CS friends at programming. No, I am not lying :)100 problems isn’t a big goal. Try solving 2–3 per day and you should be done in 1–1.5 months depending on your speed.Spend time here. If you are unable to get a solution, try harder. Read comments to get hints. Use Google search to get hints. After trying for some 30 or so minutes, if you don’t get a solution, try searching for solution on Google — ‘SPOJ X solution’ where X is the problem code.Your goal should be to learn how to write code, learn the implementations of common algorithms, learn the usage of STL.After you have solved first 5–10 problems on SPOJ, I would also recommend taking a look at this Getting Started with the Sport of Programming. This doc will help you understand things better.5th semesterDuring 5th and 6th semester, you should start searching for internships which you can take up at the end of your third year.However, that will be a side task. Primary task during the 5th semester should be to:Learn web developmentLearn android app developmentYou should get at least 3 projects on your resume at the end of 5th semester:2 web development projects1 android app development projectOur first task would be to learn Django.What is it? It is a Python based web development framework.Why learn it? Django is in high demand among Indian startups these days. Also, it is easy to learn.How do I learn it? Head straight to this link — Django Girls Tutorial. Don’t be sad at the name if you are a boy. Nothing sexist here :) This is one of the best Django tutorials out there. Spend a week’s time understanding it. Spend time in understanding how Django works — model, view, controller architecture. If you follow this tutorial religiously, you have achieved 3 things:You now understand basics of Web development in DjangoYou just picked up basics of PythonYou have a decent project to write on your resumeOnce you are done with the Django girls tutorial, the next thing you should try is to build your own Django app. I have a few suggestions for you:Build a photo gallery app — take a hash tag from the user and use TwitterAPI to gather images of that hash tag in a photo gallery. This might be helpful: amangoeliitb/Photo-Gallery-Web-ApplicationA simple banking application — try making both a customer and an employee account.A student dashboard that shows the performance of student.Oh ya, I forgot to tell — make a Github account. Github is a ‘social network’ for programmers. People upload their source codes on Github. There is also something called as ‘git’, which is a version management system. Take this short course on git — How to Use Version Control in Git & GitHub | Udacity. By the way, git is worth learning because you can put it on your resume!There is another important thing I forgot to tell you about — stackoverflow. As a programmer you are bound to face errors and exceptions. What to do? There is an extremely simple technique to deal with errors. Copy the damn error, paste it in your search bar and hit enter. Viola! Open the first 3 links you get on Google search. With a high probability, someone has already faced the error you got and has written a solution on stackoverflow. Stackoverflow links are generally reliable and you can expect them to give you the right answer. Be patient. Read and try. Your code might break. But that’s okay. Use undo. But don’t be afraid of breaking things else you won’t learn.Cool, so now you know web development, Python and you have 2 awesome projects on your resume. Let us move to Android app development. Here are the steps to follow:Head to this link: Android | Udacity. Udacity is a platform in which big tech companies offer courses that you can take up to learn various skills in software engineering. Google has built some excellent Android courses on Udacity and you should definitely take a look at them. Start from beginner level courses. They are very simple and might get completed in a day or two. You should spend at least 1–2 hours a day in these courses. Once you are done with beginner level courses, take up intermediate level courses. Of course, do the free ones. There is no need to spend money on any course/nanodegree. Learning programming should be free for everyone :)Android might be slightly frustrating. The Java used in Android is slightly different from the usual Java in the sense that it is advanced and has a lot of library functions. Don’t get bogged down by it. Remember, you need to be a software engineer. We software engineers are known to solve problems ;) As again, I would suggest that you should use Google search heavily for any errors. Be patient because Android is slightly hard.At the end, you would have 3 more things on your resume:Android app developmentJavaAn android app based projectWith this much on your resume, you are sure to get an internship.6th semesterIn this semester, you should get serious about your internship (if you haven’t got one yet). Anyway, here are the pointers for internship:AngelList is an excellent platform where startups are looking for interns. Make an AngelList account and add your projects and skills on it. You are sure to gather attention of some startups with those awesome Android and web development skills.Search for other internship portals. Be active on LinkedIn.Start preparing for interviews. The way hiring in computer science works is that you are shortlisted for interviews based on your resume. During interviews, you are asked data structures and algorithms based problems. The level of problems would be similar to what you have been doing on SPOJ so you can be happy that your hard work will finally pay off. I would recommend continuing SPOJ practice. It is easier to lose skills than pick up skills.To prepare for interviews, use the following 3 excellent sources:Cracking the coding Interview — this book is the bible for programming interviews. Purchase it or download a pdf (piracy is bad). Try reading the theory and solve the problems. Try to actually implement the solutions.Coding Interview Questions — This is a brilliant platform to hone your interview skills.GeeksforGeeks — this is an great programming blog/archive.Also, I would suggest that you should be prepared with questions from your 5th semester projects. You should be able to explain the code you wrote. Interviewer might ask you about a specific library you used. Don’t worry, you should have a high level idea that you should be able to explain. No one will ask you syntax.That was about internships. Besides the internship, you should try taking up some miscellaneous courses like:Machine Learning — Machine Learning — Stanford University | CourseraIntro to Machine Learning Course | UdacityCryptography — Applied Cryptography and Encryption Class Online | UdacityThese courses should help you put 2 more projects on your resume and also expand your CS knowledge. No doubt they will also open up more internship domains for you:Data/ML engineer internSecurity engineer internSummers at the end of 3rd yearEnjoy your internship. Work hard and try to get a return offer7th semesterPrepare hard for placements during this sem. The following topics are asked during placements:Data structures and algorithms — the standard bread and butter of CSProbability — school level prob/stats questions. These should be easy for youDatabases and Operating systems — we are yet to talk about thisSince you are not from CS department, a lot of companies won’t be open for you during placements. But don’t worry. Quite a few companies would be willing to take you if you have worked hard over the past 2 years. Aim specifically for web/android dev positions. These are easy to grab.Now let us talk about databases and operating systems (OS):Databases — in your Django web app, you would have used SQLite/MySQL/Postgres as your database. A database is a special kind of data structure that stores data in hard disk. Some companies like to ask databases related questions to the candidates. Being a non CS student, of course you aren’t expected to do a formal databases course (if you can, then that’s a big plus though!). Search for databases interview questions to get a basic idea of what is asked. I guess I will leave this point open ended because by this time, you would have become smart enough to figure this out yourself :)Operating systems — pretty much the same applies here as well. Doing a quick Google search for operating systems interview questions will give you enough practice problems which will be fine for most interviews.If you are interested, you should take up online courses on databases and OS:Stanford databasesIntro to Relational Databases | UdacityIntroduction to Operating Systems | UdacityHaving said that, keep in mind that data structures and algorithms are something very important for placements and InterviewBit should be the one place where you should spend your maximum time.If you have followed the above points seriously and worked hard for the 2.5 years, trust me, your hard work will pay off now. You are sure to bag a decent package during the placements. Bob was placed right on day 3. He was the only one in his department who got placed in the first week. And his package was twice the average package of an IITian.8th semesterDuring this semester, you have multiple options:If you got a job, you can chill out.If you haven’t got a job yet (very unlikely), you should consider applying to startups on AngelList. The startups on AngelList are actively looking for full time hires.Take up more projects — you can continue take up courses and continue working on various projects. Here is a brilliant resource for you — Students — Guide to Technical Development — Google CareersIntern remotely at a startup — again, AngelList comes to the rescue. You can keep the course load lesser and rather do a remote internship at a startup. This will not only give you experience, but also if you work hard, you might end up with another job offer.I guess I wrote a lot and I will be concluding now. In the end, I would like to add a few basic pointers specific to CS:CS is easy provided you understand that you need to implement stuff (write actual code) otherwise you won’t be able to learn things.Don’t be afraid to try out new things. Don’t think that — oh this is too hard, and is meant for experts. No. Nothing is meant for experts. All it takes is those 5–10 minutes of sincere reading and I can guarantee that there is nothing you cannot pickup.Don’t be afraid of breaking things. Don’t think that — oh my machine might break if I do that. At the very most, you might end up with a broken software, which can be easily fixed. It is unlikely that you will do a damage to hardware.Learn with friends. You will be amazed to see how smart the people around you are and you can learn a lot by interacting with others.I forgot to add a great resource that I came to know about recently: www.hackr.io. It is a great platform to find tutorials for various topics on the internet.We at CareerHigh are building something called as Non-CS Academy — a platform for non-CS students and working professionals to learn right skills so as to shift to the Computer Science domain. You can visit it here: https://careerhigh.in/non-cs-academy/.Good luck and all the very best for your future and career!
