Berlin streets after getting bombed to hell are still better than Canada's in 2026.

What Malviya did not tell u Germany received funds under Marshall plan Germany had people of wealth who could bring money to invest India had none of those - we were a country with 0 resources

During World War II, America built a medical center for troops in Delhi, “Safdarjung Hospital” During 1950 America donated $100000 for setting up “1st AIIMS” with the help of MIT Boston.

Germans are hardworking people unlike Indians. Here most of ppl are either lazy or chochit vanchit since 5000 years.

lol. “Not a single building standing”?? The very video you posted shows multiple buildings standing.

So they fixed germany in 12 years, your pappa is in power for about the same time now, why is India not fixed yet.

Was in Berlin in 2011, and saw the development, infrastructure and heard how it had been FLATTENED TO THE GROUND in 1945, and wondered what the hell was wrong with us Indians, why were we always making excuses for ourselves ! Learnt about rerouting of Indian wealth to A FAMILY !

Their govt is civilized and educate their people properly. They spend on world class education. Our govt wants us to live like animals.

People who refer to the Marshall Plan may not know that the Indian bureaucracy couldn't spend the even compensation money provided by another country to the Bhopal Gas Tragedy Victims. It is always easy to make excuses when problems lie right in our backyard.

We can pick examples right here in Asia. ASEAN, Korea zoomed in post war era despite its own wars, insurgencies. With sensible, pro business policies. We would be much better off if la famiglia was corrupt like Suharto / Mahathir family, but let investments, jobs bloom. Alas, it only copied them 50%. They treated business as cash flow, we as class enemies filling up forms & filing returns, kept Indians drunk on kool-Aid of socialism.

Ever heard of Marshall Plan & other initiatives, to reconstruct Europe after WW2.

The comments are funny and explain why so many countries stay poor. Germany rebuilt because of two factors: - free market economy - law abiding population Thats it. While India tried some form of socialism.

India has become worse Post 2014 , India’s population in 1947 was in crores Berlin population was few lakhs , till 2014 India was ready to rock , Modi has taken India 50 years back.

The Germans didn’t lose most of their skilled workforce. They also didn’t have any major financial or credit problems. If you have financing and skilled people, you can build a country from zero in 30 years. But the most important factor was the Cold War. A competition started over who could rebuild cities more beautifully. That’s why America didn’t pressure the Germans too much against the Soviets. They allowed them to rebuild their industry and cities.

On that logic, after 10 years from 2014, India must be totally self reliant and aiding some middle eastern or American country by now. Completely developed in and tier1 nation. Aint it Abhi? Or is Nehru responsible for that too?

Ever heard of Mashall Plan (1948-52) ? Europe received 19 billion USD of which nearly 1.9 billion USD went to West Germany alone for reconstruction & recovery... Germany was pivotal for US in cold war in Europe...

Dada, you know this is an unfair comparison! Germany was destroyed but it's people were still unified, physically strong and educated. Plus the US poured in money under the Marshall plan. We now know by hindsight Nehru wasn't all that great. But this example isn't correct.

A rich nation at war vs a poor nation which was pillaged for a centuries by mughals and british. Damn IT cell morons really lack brains.

False analogy. The Brits stripped India of its wealth. For the last 50 years of occupation they took 1M pound sterling/day to finance 2 World Wars. West Germany got $1.4B ($19B) from the US from 1948-1952, & the US guaranteed their security.

Isiliye bolta hoon. Kitaabe padha karo. Germany pahle se industrialized tha. The western world order helped them to rise again. What India inherited was a huge amount of princely states and their mess, illiterate masses. Where we got from that situation to where we are you papa cant even imagine.

Berlin is not Germany.... It's a part of it... Germany did not lose its competance, tech or finance. The petrol and diesel engines were designed in Germany. In 1942 Germany had 20,000 battle tanks. In 1947 India has 40 battle tanks, 2% literacy. Stop being a Bhakt.

Germany are great engineers, but you should go and read on what terms, IBRD (World bank) gave debt to germany, not to mention the IMF’s role in stabilizing currency and financial systems. all this in addition to the US marshall plan and London Agreement on German External Debts

Fake one sided narrative, at first the skilled workforce survived the war so they had doctors, engineers, managers and technicians . Top of the US helped restart all required factories. Plus as west Germany was in front of the Cold war so it got backing west.

Germay was rebuilt by four major super powers. West Germany by US, UK, and France, East by USSR. I pity your audience, how you treat them, either they are really illiterates.

Try this on other social media platforms, people on @X are educated enough to catch the you are trying to propagate.

America gave a security Guarantee to Germany, Japan after their demilitarization. The USA gave them funds. Do not give us stupid reasons. All our wealth is looted by the west. Read history first.

What Germany achieved in a decade we won't be able to do in a century. Corrupt nations cannot build legacies.

Whited cull millions of other whites every few decades through their history. Blood thirsty destructive people. An aberration in creation.

Wow. Where did you get the video clip from? Thanks! Fascinating watch, especially if you've been to Berlin in recent years and have seen how these places look like now

It's due to the absence of caste .. That's the root cause of all problems in india ..whether you like it or not.. Unless that is addressed, india will never change..

#Justdoit. Just keep doing and keep hustling.

Tere paw paw hote toh aadha desh bech dete azadi ke baad hi. Paidaishi dalal hai.

Before 57, U.S. puts in billions to help them stand up. Still great achievement by the German people but not as miraculous as it might seem

You have a point !!

It is more abt ppl Our colonial governance politicians and the executive are responsible for the present condition of India
