In India...[y]our caste can hold you back.

I can not disagree with this statement. India evolves slowly. China has revolutions.

I see no evidence that India has a more effective government than China for serving the needs of its people.

Nor do I. Hard to argue with results. China's technocrats have for the most part done very well, as you say.

I'm curious, GST, about your Asian experience. How much time have you spent in China? India? Are you of Asian extraction?

>In India, merit counts heavily, but my perception, right or wrong, is that merit is not enough. Your caste can hold you back. That was, and is, the sum of my point.>

I think it is the other way around. In India many like to be classified into backward classes, as that is the way to get admitted into institutions which they would not be able to get on merit alone.
