The poverty in India for the lower classes is breathtaking.
Just providing sanitation and water for the masses is not a solution. Must be a comprehensive plan, or they will overpopulate at an even worse pace.
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.
“The poverty in India for the lower classes is breathtaking.”
In contrast to American poverty which includes ownership and use of the following services: Free or subsidized rent, food and medical care; Air-conditioning, phone service, computers, tablets, smart phones, internet service, cable/satellite TV, automobiles, appliances, fashion clothing, etc.
Yes, the poverty is breathtaking, but liberal elites love going there for ‘enlightenment’... and to feel superior to their poor. I fear liberal elites get off on totally degrading poverty...
That said, recently I ran into liberals who are treating “Indians’ like a newly found and favored victim group. It seems odd because there are so few people from India living in the United States... have you heard anything about this?
