Random thoughts. But India's general inability to develop many new Tier 1 cities post Independence may end up being a huge stroke of luck over the next century or so. More thoughts in due course.

The thought is looking at what is happening in the UK (and maybe US) right now. Lots of smaller towns built on manufacturing that have nothing to offer to the service economy.

Good point. Robotics is going to destroy many manufacturing jobs. Matter of time... But do u think the service industry can create enough jobs? Or will we have to move to some form of Universal Basic Income to help the unemployed.
-
Oh I am wary of multi-faceted predictions like that. It could create a lot of jobs. But I think the assumption that the new jobs will be at least as good as the old ones may be a risky one. Could exacerbate inequality whilst making average income go up.

Don’t agree with basic premise. India had plenty of such towns and they are thriving. Bhillai, ranchi, Jamshedpur, Bhubaneswar, Gandhinagar, Salt Lake, Navi Mumbai.

Raipur, Bhopal. List goes on my Friend

Arrey feel free. I am randomly thinking aloud.

I would amend ur thesis slightly, saying that India did not create tughlaqi cities such as Astana, or Naypyidaw.

Quite. But my very limited question is what will the economy of say Bhilai look like a 100 years from now. (Given what we are seeing in UK for instance.)
