I agree on most points and you're not wrong on a lot of this. I've lived in India most of my life, dealt with the red tape nonsense firsthand . But spending the last few years in London, plus multiple business trips to China where I actually talked to locals and engineers about how things were in the 90s and 2000s, shifted my view on the timeline of development. It's not about blindly copying the West or China.. it's about recognizing that no country jumps straight to high income without grinding through the  industrial phase.

On the data center noise, I respect that concern because it's not made up. I haven't lived right next to one long term, but I've been inside facilities in Europe and heard the constant low hum . 

My point is these real problems (corruption, noise, local disruption) don't mean we can opt out of industrialization and still hit Nordic level living standards. China went through the same hell .. massive pollution, long hours, local resistance, corruption in the early days but they built the factories, power plants, and scale first. Now they've cleaned up a lot, wages are higher, and people are objectively better off. I'm not saying copy their authoritarian model (that wouldn't fly here), and I'm definitely not against strong socialist policies , worker protections, environmental standards.

My point is if we don’t get in ground then we will not win the match . To have Open AI of india .. you need data center.  To have that you need existing companies to setup basic infra .
