Will they go the way of Britian where the government enacts economic reforms as well as political ones to combat the ideas of Liberalism in effect pacifying the people? Or will they collaspe under their own weight and go a much more terrible route like that of France circa Napolean.

With democractic processes, where voices can be heard and power transferred - steam being blown off and masses placated - India is in a better position than a dictatorship like China to adjust to the inevitable social inequities.
India is slower but as noted in the article in the other thread I started, a vast middle class is emerging in that country . . . . . a strength. You wonder if that will be the same in China.
Again, you just wonder how "in control" the dictatorship really is . . . . . at least in the long run, when hundreds of millions will be earning a dollar a day while others live in mansions.
