According to the viewpoint of dialectical materialism and historical materialism, the modernization society and person is two aspects of course. The social modernization means the modernization of person, similarly, the modernization of person also means the social modernization. The relation between both of them is the social modernization decides the modernization of person and the modernization of person advances the society modernization.

The comparison of the modernization of two countries China and India gives us the most important revelation: The modern development of two countries has own advantage, only mutually learning and mutual benefit can we realize social modernization as soon as possible.
