Yes, Indian builders and engineers can do this if the state and central governments of India can do what the local and central governments of China do. When they decide that a whole area should be modernized with sky scrapers or whatever, the residents are simply evicted from wherever they are residing in the area ear marked for change. This can happen in cities or the rural areas. All that a builder needs to do is to persuade someone high up in the Chinese Communist Party that it will be in China’s interest to change an existing poor area into a modern one.
India has been trying to do that for more than 60 years. Mumbai’s Parel area is a classic example. Nandigram is a more recent one. Narmada Bahao Andolan, Medha Patkar, Arundati Roy etc will not exist in China. Nor will Baba Adav, the Naxalites, the SIMI, Anna Hazare, etc.
You will not be allowed to even post a blog like this comparing China to any other country in the world.
