lol yeah of all places
Pretty sure they forgot to poll the people living in the slums
are there more people in the slums now than before?
?
India's a 3rd world country with a growing economy. What am I missing?
India is also capitalist with massive inequality, and rising nationalism. I wouldn't call that moving in the right direction myself.
Yea but their living standards are going up, so understandably they're going to feel they're going in the correct direction
your logic is like saying that 1800s US settlers are dumb for being happy, because a disproportionate amount of the empty genocided continent belonged to rich people instead of them and would inevitably turn into a clusterfuck centuries down the line. They ain't care, europe was a crowded shithole
Living standards in India aren't exactly going up at any appreciable rate though, and the data on poverty rates is very questionable https://www.dw.com/en/indias-poverty-debate-truth-behind-the-numbers/a-68062699
I guess if they just polled the 1% of people raking it in, then I'm sure they're really happy.
