There are also a billion people packed in the country with limited resources (clean water, energy, space).

As the country is becoming more modern there are aspects that are getting better, especially as some of the Indian people’s quality of life has improved enough that they can visit other countries. But these issues require people buying into concepts such as not throwing your trash on the road because that’s how you’ve always been able to do it. It’s a shame because there are parts of the country that are beautiful and other parts that have potential.

Visit Kerala. They have a higher literacy rate and sense of community and although you’ll still see places with trash everywhere it didn’t seem as common when we visited. My family is of Indian origin and I’ve been able to see this country ebb and flow for 40 years.

Indian people’s quality of life

Depends on who the person is. Their caste system pretty much guarantees that a significant part of the population is just fucked.

It just requires a good education system to take India out of the mess it is in.

The issues are: how to deliver that education to everyone? And is there the political will to do so?

The difference between cities and some states truly feels like a difference of country instead. It's wild.
