China also didn't have the infrastructure. In fact India has a lot more infrastructure than china did due to 200 years of British Rule. The difference is China forced their brightest citizen to stay and build whatever infrastructure was needed and also didn't so easily give in to pressure to open up to trade that didn't benefit them in the guise of "globalization".
Not everyone in China is Han Chinese but it is not as diverse as India. Should the Indian Gov't suppress all the different religions in India? Crush ethnic tensions with brute force?
