What most retarded India's development since the 80s was their neglect of their manufacturing and hedging their bet with a service economy. China mobilized its manpower to get even the poorly educated into factories making shitty toys for the west. India didn't want to cut their redtape and allow for that level of industrialization.
I get the vibes that the entire country has an overcharged PepeNEET 4chan tier mentality in regards to jobs. I've seen Asians, Filipinos, Africans and Whites work in construction here. But an Indian will never do it, they'd rather even be selling alcohol for minimum wage. Even the fuck ups dare not touch a tool, they'd weirdly prefer to save face working retail for minimum wage.
