Strictly speaking, I think it's more accurate to say India's society is divided in so many ways by caste, language, religion etc
So those at the top of whatever hierarchy are not interested in those at the bottom.
It goes deeper than capitalism.
In comparison, South Korea is ethnically and linguistically homogenous.
Plus it has a Confucian society which has base precepts in equality of education and opportunity, plus rules governing an individual's relationship to everyone else in society.
The only reason the Anglo rating agencies haven’t yet declared India as junk bond status is because India obediently declares its commitment to act as sepoy slave for the Anglo cause.
When it becomes all but to the most deluded of Jai hinds, that India is up covid shit creek without a paddle, the junk status will come
There was a short discussion on February 3rd on this thread on India's prospects.
India's atrocious level of R&D spending and education was analysed.
What the anglo mouthpiece is trying to say, is that indians are generally not as productive workers as Chinese, which in my experience does have a kernel of truth to it.
Indians are by reputation, mouthy loquacious sorts, allergic to hard labour. Chinese are reputed in the west for grinding to achieve goals.
That's very true. Those are more primitive problems that supposed to be resolved by capitalist/democratic revolution and enlightenment.
But the capitalist have no interest to resolve these problems as they help them to divide and conquer the masses, and keep them oppressed and exploited.
Only a socialist revolution in India can save the Indian masses, and bring peace and prosperity to India, South Asia and beyond.

The Confucian value, like other religions, is simply an oppressive tool for the ruling class. China was a Confucian society before 1949, and that was a backward and oppressive society. The victory of Chinese revolution put Confucius into museums, and China has become stronger and stronger.
Disagree.
Confucianism is agnostic and China remains a Confucian society, else wise chinese people wouldn't bother looking after their parents and sending them off to nursing homes the way the anglos do.
Furthermore, taiwan and mainland society proves that confucian values persist no matter whatever "cultural revolution" occurs. Let me tell you, when i was a kid growing up in taiwan, they used to say the Cultural Revolution destroyed True China and that all mainlanders were little red book reading commies, without any shred of chinese values or Junzi values.
I believed that up until i studied in the mainland and realised what a crock of shit that is. Believing the Cultural Revolution destroyed traditional chinese values is like saying the 60s-70s in america destroyed western civilisation because americans no longer live like the 50s with betty draper and jon hamm.
In the case of India, you'd think it was the same except that indians lack the pragmatism that allowed Chinese civilisation to endure for as long as it has; indians will kill each other over caste differences, ie religious belief, they will kill a dalit for drinking from the same water fountain as a brahmin.
