Currycucks spend too much time harassing American women and shitting in streets to do anything productive

Britain oppressed them to poverty and it will be extremely jard to overpass it after all the oppression they suffered.

The average IQ in India is 82.

The average IQ of nation is strongly correlated to their wealthy.

For more explanation, Read "IQ and Global Inequality" by Lynn and Vanhanen

Population too high. Government can't take strict measures to reduce population like China did because it's not a single party system, and any unpopular things like a one-child policy or forced sterilization (was attempted) would have the party in power voted out.

Why don't they just ANNEX MORE LAND so their population is better scaled?

People aren't going to relocate themselves just cause you've annexed more land. Also the people who used to live in the land you annexed are still going to live there. Also we don't want to start a war right now. Also what land, all the countries around India are densely populated as well.

iirc they had a very controlled economy due to being extremely socialist after ww2, and while china liberalised many parts of their economy resulting in increased growth India didn't until much later so remained extremely poor while their population continued exploding

Indians.

brown people

Highly bureaucratic govenment with regulations that adds inefficiencies to markets.

The same reason as Africa, it's majority shitskins.

Both of you are right as well.

most employment is in agriculture and their agriculture is prehistoric tier

Depends tbhwyfam
India was once very rich and powerful
But shitty british policies and the ineptitude of the post independence govt meant that growth was stifled for 45 years under licence raj.
It was only until 1991 that they liberalized, and they seem to be on a decent growth path atm.

50 years of comm...., oh sorry, wrong thread

I think that if you control for factors such as bad governance, nutrition and other stuff, you can see that indians can produce a decent society. If you look at trinidad and tobago or Mauritius, you'll see that even mostly low caste indians can produce a relatively developed society. Of course, nogs in both countries are a drain...
Also Singapore and Malaysia have indian migrant populations, and they are between Malay and chinese income wise I believe.

"India" was never really one country until after WW2. Even today the southern half of the country is responsible for the majority of GDP and income while the northern half has most of the population. We have problems with migrants from the north coming to the south and crowding up the place and refusing to assimilate / learn the local language etc.

British left in the 40s. You guys didn't do a great job while you were here but it's been 70+ years. Whatever you see now are our failures, so don't blame yourself for it.

Based pajeet, I bet you don't shit in street

Southern had one if the highest per capital incomes in the world by 1800. Then successive British and local government failures fucked it up.

This book is flawed. IQ tends to increase with wealth. The average American IQ was 85 pre-WW2.

*Per capita

*Southerner India

Fucking auto correct

Congratulations on your election by the way. You dodged a bullet.

It's the caste system, same reason your amerindians live in reservations while ours are making billions.
