What's breathtaking is the indifference of the corrupt ruling elites to the lives of the peasants. India is one of those countries that could use a good old-fashioned Bastille-type revolution, complete with the guillotining of the entire upper class. They have been robbing the country blind via regulatory corruption, and plain old theft, while telling the poor they're so much better off than they were under British rule.

I have a friend who is Indian. I met him at work. When I was looking for alternatives to America, I asked him about India.

He adamantly insisted that would be a horrible idea. He told me that as corrupt as America has become, it is 1% of what India is. He told me you need to pay every official you meet, to do their job, to not enforce AGAINST you, and so on.

I figure 5% of the population is working the "calling you to help fix your computer" scam.
