In classic naive western historian fashion you seem to have missed the complete pulse on what India is and how the diversity and rich history have shaped the social and economic fabric of the country. As an investor yes there is value in understanding the historical construct of a region but all you have done is regurgitate the same old outdated points on “caste” system, “population density”, and religion especially the proportion of Muslims vs Hindus, and demographics by pointing out outdated facts like “74% Indians don’t have access to a healthy diet”. I urge you to go to india and see for yourself the ground reality and the sheer scale and pace of development. India has leapfrogged the west in terms of social tolerance whether it be in terms of religion, economic status, or sexual orientation. Go see the penetration of mobile and digital FinTech infrastructure where you can go about your whole day without need of a credit card or cash right from a tea seller to a 5 star hotel. Nobody in India cares about caste, gender, or religion and you don’t even have to go that far and just see the current President, prime minister, and historical track record of background of former presidents and prime ministers of the country. In terms of education just look around the stalwarts in every industry and in the prominent western colleges. You will see Indians all around so for the next article please ground yourself in state of India today instead of just reading outdated articles written about Indian history in the west and regurgitating that in your blog
