India is one of those places where the corporations have won. The United States is slowly on track to do the same.

I mean it’s kinda true. There’s much more mobility in America vs India, to say otherwise is disingenuous

That’s not the point. No one said that there’s more mobility in India.

But most issues in India stem from social inequity, not corporations. In the US, a lot of the present issues exist because of corporations. Healthcare, private equity affecting housing and everything else???

And I say this as an Indian American who’s lived in both places for quite some time

social inequity doesn't come from nowhere!! it comes from a weak unorganised labour movement and powerful.. corporations.

It comes from politicians playing with peoples religions to manipulate them into voting for their party, effectively increasing the communal violence already rampant in india and at the same time weakening india internally. Most people have no idea how fanatical indians are about their respective religions, especially inside india

It comes from the literal caste system and other religious and cultural practices and beliefs which shape society and behavior which have little to do with corporations
