India and China leading the world isn't an anomaly but rather a return to normality. I chose this topic because of my interests in history, international relations and economics all of which will be needed when discussing this topic. Furthermore, I think this would be an interesting topic to talk about as many people are unaware of India and China's historical economic size. I'm 17 years old, and I'm in my last year of high school. I have a passion for history and international politics that can be traced back to elementary school, where the social sciences were already my favorite subjects. This remained true throughout my scholastic career and will likely continue. As a result of this, I plan to apply to college for an undergraduate degree in international relations. I have also been able to cultivate my passion for these subjects through MUN in which through the various conferences I’ve attended. I’ve been able to research and learn on a lot of topics such as the one I'll talk about today. I chose my topic regarding India and China's recent economic success as I find all of the information around it interesting and often not discussed. This is even though the empires that inhabited modern-day India and China had amongst the biggest economies for a large part of medieval and modern history. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
