Hello from Chapel Hill, NC, USA, Suraj:

You seem to have described a turnkey system well developed in India that is
being widely adopted and implemented by other aggressive countries wherever 
they can
throughout the globe. There is hope for improvement, though.

Good things about India:

ayurvedic medicine

classical Indian music (Ravi Shankar, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan and many others)

the Ajanta caves and Ellora

Meher Baba - there are many followers of his philosophy throughout the world,
especially in the USA and India

I heard Ravi Shankar in concert at UNC back in the 1960's, Kahn too if I 
remember correctly

the paintings in the Ajanta caves are some of the most amazing artworks ever 
created

Check these out:

I think I will start trying to see if I can avoid buying any Chinese imported 
products.
The Chinese have made whores out of greedy American businessmen reaping huge 
windfall profits off imported Chinese goods
while human rights abuses continue in Tibet, Uighur, China. You'd think they 
would notice or maybe even care
or possibly boycott them.
