The recent incident from a school in Muzaffarnagar highlights, once again, how many of India’s institutions, and its people, are failing the country’s Muslims.

    Depending on the country 80 years ago to the present. These are the people making cheap consumer electronics and other products where it still costs more to automate than to pay someone to assemble eg travel sewing kits, first aid kits etc.

    This isn’t romanticizing poverty this is how every industrialized nation has developed their economy. What I see India doing is by no means unique to India and is in fact what everyone did.

    At no point have I endorsed poverty. It is remarkably ignorant to think a nation if 1 billion people will all have service jobs. You need people doing manufacturing as well and this is the sector that is absolutely the most likely area to develop given that many Indians do not currently have the education to hold service jobs.

    You are adding a ton of prejudice that is not in my posts at all. It also seems like you really have no grasp on recent history regarding economic development.

      you absolutely have. read your own comments. you’ve advocated using Indians to do low-skill (and therefore low-wage) jobs and be used as cannon fodder.

      Population is a strength regardless of education. Large populations can vastly cut manufacturing costs for simple goods that do not require technical skills. Large populations can utilize a meat grinder approach to conflicts that smaller nations cannot easily adopt.

      Uneducated Indians as cannon-fodder is your idea of ‘bulwark against PRC’?

      That is not just endorsing poverty, it’s godamned racist. and you’re lecturing me on being ignorant about ‘recent history regarding economic development’??! because I called you out?

      I keep trying to give you the benefit of the doubt but you’re just too nasty. I’m blocking you
