“Back in India, the economy is dumpster fire.” I said that in this video and am getting a lot of Indian bros disagreeing, so … was it fair? People have pointed out two facts, which are undeniably true: 1) The Indian economy is large, and is (or is soon to be) the world’s 4th largest. And 2) in the last handful of years, it’s been improving at a good rate. Yet my “dumpster fire” has some data to back that up. - GNI PER CAPITA: I believe this is the fairest way to judge an overall economy, since it doesn’t allow people to cherry-pick good/bad data. Despite the massive size of the economy - they have 1.4 billion people, after all - on a per person basis, it’s still pretty poor, with a GNI of $2,200 per person. That places it #123 in the world, on par with countries like Jamaica and Namibia or some others I hadn’t heard of. - INCOME DISPARITY: In the world’s biggest country, there are billionaires who throw parties for more dollars than I’ll ever earn, and there millions of people in abject poverty. The last stats show about 140 million people living under $2.15 per day. That’s both improved from the past, and still horrible. - RECENT STATS: Some are improving, but we’re still looking at a 9.2% unemployment rate in June, lowered savings, substandard healthcare, education, labor participation rates, and India still has a yearly net-out migration of about a half-million, which is proportionally small but more people are still leaving the country than entering it. So … is that a good/large/improving economy or still one that’s still Third World, despite being one of the earliest civilizations on Earth?
I think dumpster fire was a bit of an exaggeration. Yes, India needs to improve on its wealth inequality. But when we judge anything we do so based on the past. India was a basket-case (which the Brits thought will be Balkanized within a decade) when it was finally independent. It was staring at bankruptcy as recently as 1990 before it liberalized its economy. A more accurate comparison would be the median income difference between Indians living in the US and Indians living in India... and I guess that what you actually meant to say.
We call a Dumpster fire economy , when Debt to GDP Ratio is 124%. When the nation is in $33 Trillion inFederal Debt. When the time it will take to completly pay the Federal debt if GDP was paid without Zero expenses is 340 Years... An economy which runs by printing money is called Whitehouse Dumpster Fire Economy.
Because people in the global north, NGOs and goverment state department in the west are still exploiting the global south, for example Africa is not underdeveloped, it's over exploited. They don't want the global south to develop, it's not in their interest. Americans especially want to maintain their hegemony.
Heard of purchasing power parity? Federal debt on us economy and raising debt ceiling every time Or else default on debt. Homeless people in us, extortion price of healthcare and medical tourism to Asian countries Does this sound like flourishing or vanishing economy You people were on similar euphoria while china took all your manufacturing, time to repeat that story soon
It’s true, India was looted by Muslim and British invaders in the past. It takes time to develop a country. It’s very hard for India to rise because of geopolitics. India is surrounded by the enemies inside and outside. Pakistan gets funding from America, China, and other western countries against India. So many things still going on against India to divide it further by foreign countries. But it’s true Indians encourage their children for study. Indians also respect and follow the law and order wherever they go. They don’t do any kind of jihad.
"Indian Americans have the highest income in the U.S." It's not just the U.S. by the way. It's the same in almost every country they migrate to - U.K., Australia, Canada, Singapore, Germany, Denmark, Uganda, Kenya, etc.,
That's an excellent point. I'm pretty good at understanding U.S. data and where to find it and what's real/not, but I'm really weak when it comes to other countries.
That's a terrible conclusion. We cannot compare Indians brought in a country on a mission, to work for a particular company, for a decent salary, with teenagers flipping burgers at McDonald. The guys brought on H1B visas are supposed to perform! Otherwise, there's no need for them!
@@vzeq24 lol. Why do you act like people of other nationalities or ethnicities, aside from the natives, weren’t also "brought into the country to work for a company and earn a decent salary"? I'm obviously not comparing them to the natives but to other immigrants.
This podcaster does not have some basic info about India. Like any European or US media these guys will show a dinghy street when they show India as if all of India look like that! Shame on these guys !! When they show their own countries they will show most modern sides not the dirty streets - people living in the side walks, drug addicts roaming around the street with fierce looks (this is a common sight on the streets of most of western countries). I'm not saying India is as good as the western countries but everyone would try to project good side if a country unless one produces a documentary on homeless people or something related to hygiene.
I agree with you. I live in a 1500-square-foot house in the middle of 1.5-acre beautiful land here in southern India. Like me, the majority of people in my home two own large houses and have excellent quality of life. But in cities like Mumbai, which holds one of the largest numbers of billionaires in the world, land prices are more expensive than in New York; hence, factory laborers cannot afford to own land and end up living in unlivable areas, such as near the waste dumping sites and the crowded slums. Cities like Mumbai have slums because so many people are filthy rich and own all the properties.
his stereotypical display of India is absurd, we have good and bad sides like every country. before you say about $6 income per day, you should learn to purchase power parity. $6 in India is equal to $100 in US
Westerners are mostly biased and patronising. But Instead of complaining the Indian TV channels, UA-camrs and film makers should only show places like Skid Row while depicting America
No, I'll stand by my comment. The Indian economy IS improving and is fairly large, but that's because it has 1.4 billion people. Per capita, it's GNI puts it at #123 worldwide, behind countries like Jamaica and Namibia.
Education is mostly nature nurture and Thrive - and compared to my 90s education system - now it is far better - but still we have to admit - conceptual learning and overall growth as humans - our education system is not helping - I have done few episodes in Telugu - but I will do some episodes on my channel in English on this subject. Btw- education is different and success in abroad is different - by 25 once you realize you got to work on many issues of life - most hardworking people realize their way of doing things and Indians coming from collective cultures - our responsibilities always keeps us on job to excel
Showing Some Slums and Litter is NOT = INDIA ! about 150 Million persons (Half of US population )are fairly affluent (Proportional to Living costs which is 1/5th of US in USD terms ). The urban and Rural infrastructure is Fast improving, GDP growth is 6.5℅ which you cant dream . India got Independence only 75 yrs back and has surely about 200 million Relative impoverished population. You cant compare ORANGES VS APPLES. USA is a Benificiary of India's Knowledge , High Tech and Highly evolved Medical sector.😮
The "American Dream" is alive and well -- to those who value the freedom. Grateful to Indians and other immigrants who remind us what the US is capable of🙏
This is the best comment! It’s not just Indians, anyone who grooms a family with family values and sets the only goal of educational excellence in their life still can grow in US. United States is the only country that has this opportunity “American Dream”. Every immigrant who is living. Happily now who fulfilled their American dream has to thank the forefathers who died for and sacrificed for this Nation. The American dream is well alive! The léfties in the democratic side are trying to kill it. Hardworking American people wake up!
No. It is a dumpster. The reason for GDP growth is population. The gap between the rich and the poor is ever widening. GDP per capita is degrading day after day. Only the Ambanis, Adanis and their likes are getting richer.
@@roshanmaharana maybe it was your personal experience. In my surroundings, people are making more money than before, and were able to afford flights and everything.
@@SaitejaPamulapati it doesn’t matter about you and me. What matters is the overall facts. Even in my surroundings i have people who can afford flights. But I also have people around me who can’t even afford a train. And going by the facts, the people in the latter category are more in number across India. It’s basically 1% of the population own 90% of the wealth. So overall, India is not doing great but India can do great if policies are introduced to tackle this disparity.
@@SaitejaPamulapati no. The free rice bag policy of the government is making people lazy. Policies like ease of doing business. Making policies that attract more foreign investment where companies don’t have to run from office to office for permits and paperworks. Policies to increase the funding in R&D. USA spends nearly 6% of its budget. While India spends less than 1%. India needs to increase its R&D funding across its prestigious institutions facilitating more research and innovation.
America is 3 decades behind when it comes to understanding India, Indians & how they influence the economy of every country they reside in. Indias greatest export is her people.
If a small country can carve boats and sail half way across the world and 'ruin' a much larger country with a much larger nation then that is a damn fragile country.. unusual for a rich nation. I think you have been fed some works of fiction. The more likely scenario is a trade happened to fuel the industrial revolution in Western Europe, which would move technology forward more in a century than in the previous 10 centuries.
Slums are not whole India. Less than one percent live in slums because of large population it's high number. 99% percent of Indian household have toilets according to WHO data 2023 . Garbage landfill in California and Dirty Smell of NYC doesn't represent whole USA. Same. Slums of Dharabi and Delhi does not represent whole India. Some states of India are very dirty and some states of Indian Clean. Every states are different from others. Every states have their own language , Culture and food. It's like group of Countries in one country. 🙂.
They come from intense competitive world of 1+ billion people, They come trained from IITs, IIMs & other top Universities. (intelligent, hardworking) They come trained from very minimal available resources compared to US. They come from the English Speaking environment. They come from better family & cultural values compared many other nations.
You forgot one important aspect of the Indians success in US. Lowest Divorce Rates. How can you succeed in life as a family when you have NO family or a broken family? I am Curry and at the top 0.1% tax income. 50% of my white, latino and black friends are divorced ( I am 47) - leaving them financially, mentally & physically drained. The single most important unit in a civilizations' success is the family unit. American families are broken, busted & strained. Kids from divorce will not make good role models. Save marriage, save family, save American.
Simple... Indians in any country work hard.. Pay full taxes.. Ensure the integrity of that country.. Transact kindly with all others.. No jealous on anybody.. Follow tooth and nail Sanatan Hindu culture..not large family...Transperant... All this above why not Indians prosper ? The world must invite Indians with open hands...
Ahh sure. There was these indian who coming to my country for whatever reason they have and try to take advantage on a free meal provide to local poor people. These indian not looking like an educated people either. Probably from east India I guess. So this is what you call as following what ever fairy tale ideology that exists in india??
Dude Indians are not only crushing it in America they are crushing it everywhere!!! They create wealth and prosperity!! It’s Indian politicians keeping everything out of reach! Strong family values, education, culture is strongest among Indian community!
Not really. I don't see any real development brought by indian in the US. Indian couldn't even help US in countering China in high technology field. Most of indian people stays in a technology silo that centered around less productive, less impactful output. You are not going to create new wealth and economic engine from current computer science development aka AI. One man trying to bring a new frontier into US manufacturing industry and he's not indian but white south African name Elon musk. Indian people sure can brag about being the highest income earner in the US but indian as always are a risk averse people. The trait you can be sure originated from their native land india.

Indians have always been a rich and prosperous country in terms of wealth, education, spirituality since many 1000s years and hence we were looted by the other countries for centuries and yet we have thrived and will thrive in future as well. This video just shows the part after we have been looted by the Europeans and what kind of cruelty we faced, please show how wealthy we have been last 5000 years.

I won't see this video after reading comments I am so fed up with those dirty pictures .I am 23 now and have never seen the pictures or dirty food they show in foreign videos . I think I should just enjoy Mandir's Bhajans instead .
This joker has exposed himself on two fronts ; his ignorance of India and his bias against India. I am both disappointed and shocked with both his attitude and ignorance.
Dude I am an Indian and he's on point,living standards,civics sense corruption and poverty in India is still rampant. Stop being a blind nationalist. Indian cities like Delhi Mumbai are wrecked due to lack of civil planning, corruption at all levels of authorities and slums,garbage and cleanliness in general is a problem in the biggest of the cities. We Indians need to own up and improve,it's only getting worse.
@@potatosmuggler7927 these so called nationalist always tries to defend india instead of criticizing authorities for not providing employment and basic neccessities. IGNORANCE AT ITS PEAK
This guy is damn ignorant and presenting bias data. He is saying 2200$ , but it is 3000$. PPP is 2nd highest in the world. Indian economy is not fraud and borrowed based like west.
Ignorance is bliss. India's educational infrastructure is highly competitive, but the data often fails to present an accurate or complete picture. Seems like this bald guy's perspective on India is limited to the slums.
You have clearly not done your homework about India. Yes there is poverty like many countries and we are rapidly eradicating it. Tell me is there no poor homeless people in USA? Well show us the streets of NY you know which ones right? Revisit this vedio after 2025, it will be interesting to see how the US dream will look like.
We haven't bought into the Woke nonsense. We believe in meritocracy, which is color-blind. We are social conservatives, and family oriented. When we invite people, the entire family shows up Education in serious sciences, Engineering, Medicine etc are valued. We save a lot! I know a Gujarati couple who lived on the wife's income for about six years, saved the husbands income, which was larger and started a successful business. Delayed gratification, but o-boy, it pays serious dividends. This is not unusual.
Casteism is amply prevalent in India to this day, what a joke. "Serious sciences" only include STEM? No wonder why most of the Indian cities are so poorly planned and designed (urban planning is not even considered a job in India). Handymen and sweepers are considered to be "lowly" and paid accordingly too. And let's not get started about the shitshow called 'law and order' in India.
You are angry and hating Indians deep inside your heart, because of that, you are showing how much poverty and corruption is thier in India. Today India is Rapidly Growing and changing,it took or is taking time,but the pictures and videos which you are showing of India are way back days. Don't hate the Indians who are leaving in America. And Remember that White & Black people today in USA,you are not the Native of America, they are "Red Indians". This Should be kept in mind by each and every American except the "Red Indians".
In India its a constant reminder to us how rich India was, its ancient civilization, spirituality, knowledge, etc. By design Indian society cultivate high aspiration. What we lack is opportunity. America fills this gap.
The difference between Chinese and Indian immigrant students is Chinese study and go back to their country and use their skills there and develop their own country. The conditions there are conducive for that. Whereas Indian students after completing their education from American universities work in America for a living because back there in India conditions for job opportunities for high skilled talent is very very poor. Both central and state governments treat their citizens like beggars like any communist/socialist governments do and want to hand over freebies instead of creating employment opportunities. For creating employment you need high skilled work force but for distributing alms you can just randomly pick some beggars and ask them to distribute among themselves. That is the difference. India is almost like Venezuela because the political mindset irrespective of political party has not changed since independence. Look at the percentage of H1B visas grabbed by Indians 81 percent go to Indians. Chinese only 3 percent. Educated Indians somehow want to leave the country and settle abroad . they don't want their children to suffer like they suffered in India. even our own celebrated minister of external affairs son has chosen to become a US citizen. Another bizarre fact about Indian education is ninety three percentage of so called " SCHOLORSHIPS" given by all universities ,educational institutions ,Central and state governments are given to those where consideration for getting a scholarship is other than merit. Mostly on the basis of in which caste you are born not on the basis of how you excel academically.
For every 3 Indian CEOs making headlines, thousands (23,763 H1 approvals in ‘24) of Indians in the U.S. face immense uncertainty about their future in the country. Imagine living day-to-day not knowing if or when you might be forced to leave, despite working hard, paying taxes, being humble, and raising families while dealing with fear of discrimination or worse for your kids. On visas like L1, mobility is nearly impossible. On H1B, switching jobs can take months with no guarantees, making it hard to join startups or explore opportunities. Many endure this because they are chasing the American dream and deeply admire what this country stands for. So, next time you see an Indian family at the mall or on the street, recognize that they’re likely high earners (most making $120K+), contributing significantly to the economy, yet carrying the burden of uncertainty about their future. They’re trying to build lives here, just like so many others before them.
i am scared if we wait longer for the spark...we will loose opportunity to be rich country because we have lost the birth rate now...we just have 20 years if noone sparks that fire or sparks a wrong way...we are doomed actually
My Canadian born South Asian children, now US citizens, work in Silicon Valley, CA. One, a United States Licensed CPA, and the other a Computer Specialist. Correction! they earn a lot more than $120k. You're right! we've never had a TV, and we've been married for 54 years. Although NOT an arranged marriage; we're still very much in love! ...and NO debt.
Not all information is correct but yes, Hindu Indian families give top priority on education. All Hindu worship the Goddess Saraswati who gives blessings for wisdom and knowledge.
It is not dumpter living in India. It has rapidly changed in the past decade . You are welcome to India, particularly the southern part of India and experience the lifestyle there in the cities. It is not the homeless, drug addicted, crimecridden lifestyle that you find in San Francisco.
Living as an Asian in the Bay Area, the epicenter of tech. Met lots of Indians who would forfeit (or regret) their STEM jobs and would rather do things in social work or arts. When other Asian-Americans find out I’m an art major they have the wide eyed “grass-is-greener-over-there” look, I ain’t making bunk but I’m free.
100% facts. In India, no one makes a survivable income if not for medicine, engineering, not anymore in law. Following own passion is out of question. UA-cam and startups is changing that fast right now, phew
@@deepasinghal4729 I'm just citing my experience in my area of the world. It's anecdotal, I get it. But I've met Indians who were extremely talented in the arts here and my only wish for them is to give themselves room to explore those artistic passions.
Indian households collectively holds gold weighing more than 27.5 tonnes. Holding gold, silver, gems, precious stones and diamonds is in our tradition.
5 percent of Americans are homeless, downtrodden too. During the last 10/15 years India has undergone miraculous changes and now stands 5th economy in world.. You hv taken selective photos of poverty and not of prosperity.
You are misinformed. Indian economy is doing better than what it used to be. The quality of life for the middle class has been better. However, it's never perfect though.
Please dont show slums in India and forget about millions of homeless,jobless people in USA living in abject poverty. Plus the debt ridden US middle class is also unhealthy. Indian middle class is rich in savings and leads a frugal life unlike the US middle class which is ruined by credit cards. Don't mislead with GNI figures because thats the averaging coming into play for 140 crores people may sound low. Unemployment in the US is far worse than India with rates at around 12%. Please give us a break from these biased ratings published by bogus work organizations.
The highest Indian household income earners live in Canada. We have 25 Indians per household at $20k/year each, total $500K per household! "Brampton officials have revealed that 25 international students were found living in a single basement apartment and shockingly, this is not the first case."

There are Indian values and then there's the law of large numbers, assuming all the 65K H1B visas were given to all Indians. Do it for 20 years from say 2004 to 2024 and with that 1.3 Million Indian H1Bs will come to the US. This is 0.1% of 1.4 Billion people of India 😀who have come to the US. Hope the rest of the Intelligent people remaining in India will make it the the best economy in the world in next 20 years 😀 So if people are offended by the dumpster fire word , they know that if 1.3 Million people are contributing so much to the US. The have the rest of the 99.9% in India to make it better than the best.
You guies are really underestimated India for a long time.. By relying on old India's slum videos,just visit once to India..I am 100 % sure your mind will be blown...
I’ve been to India twice, 15 years ago and this year. While it has gotten better in some ways, it is still noticeably impoverished. Having been to several other poor parts of the world, not particularly mind-blowing…
Hey Ken great video, but you are committing a slight error. You are inferring that the huge Indian household income is because of values, traditions work ethics etc. You also mention that Indians have the lowest divorce rate of all ethnicities. Well that’s the trick if an average green person earns 70k but lives alone, and the average Indian earns 40k but is always living with a working partner that would make household incomes larger for Indians , which hides a different reality. In reality other metrics do show Indians success but this one could be misleading. For instance it was used to say that black Americans have their average income declined during the last 40 years, which in fact the average income of a black American has increased, but given that the divorce rate has skyrocketed, the household income could have decreased you know ? It’s just a comment, I really appreciate your work . Keep on man !
You know, this is a fantastic point and one I need to dig into more, especially for future videos. You're right in that different divorce rates could -- depending on how they deal with divorced parents -- definitely be affected even if salaries were unchanged. Thinking it through, if I divorce my wife, are we now considered two separate families? If she remarries, are the kids considered part of two families? I can see it getting confusing, but is worthwhile to know. I'll definitely look into it. You know, one of the slight bummers about producing these videos is I sometimes -- like now -- get educated better, but only after the video is produced. Thanks Kevin! --Ken
Ok, I spent some time with this and can confidently say: I'm not really sure. The income data comes from the U.S. Census and that's all household based, and I could only find one reference that attempted to break it down by individual. That was Pew, which I highly regard. Even they, though, didn't give me a comparison to other American ethnicities, just Indian vs. Asians in the U.S. And those numbers showed Indians substantially outperforming. According to them, Median Annual Personal Earnings of full time workers: Asians - $60,000, Indians $85,000, roughly the same differences we saw with family earnings, maybe even larger. Again, no national comparison for everyone, though. Those are also round numbers and I couldn't find their source/methodology and I don't know divorce rates for Asians in general here. www.pewresearch.org/fact-sheet/asian-americans-indians-in-the-u-s/#:~:text=MEDIAN%20ANNUAL%20PERSONAL%20EARNINGS%20%28ages%2016%20and%20older%20with%20positive%20earnings%29%20%7C%20%7C%7C%7C%7C So, well, there we go. --Ken
Finally Americans are waking up to the powerhouse Indian talent that has become a critical part of the country. Their hardwork and contribution to developed America is recognised after three generations or more. Good points. What’s missed is that only Indian Hindu are at the top anywhere in the world, as also seen by wealthy American Hindu Lobby catered to by Obama and Trump alike. The crux of this success is the continual ancient Hindu civilisation values in families though distorted gravely due to invasions, genocides and modernism. You’ve extracted the points well on education, math and arranged marriage within families. If you look closely these values are identical with ultra rich generational wealth holding rich families anywhere. That’s because that’s the only way to succeed with stability, passing the benefits down the generations or building up in case of newly poor Indians thanks to Brit’s and Islam induced multiple genocides. Indians have a very strong civilizational memory of wealth and are just trying to get back to where our great grandparents were. Math runs in Indian DNA so that’s a natural. Medicine, law, engineering are culturally revered due to lineage of Ayurveda, Dharm, Excellent architectural genius of civilisation. But the Hindu education behemoth system was cut by the Brit’s and English education imposed which is highly inferior hence the struggling Indians post Brit colonialism. Hence, they all get whatever education they can get by the fragmented British education system setup in 1800s and to avoid corruption of govt that kills opportunities, Indians move for opportunities essentially though reluctantly as Indian food and spirituality is carried by them in their hearts wherever they go. Spirituality is a huge basis for non consumerism, minimalism, karma conscience to do well and strong sense of giving back to those who gave them shelter, ie the countries they migrate to in current context. Teachers are seen as revered sages culturally hence even if current teachers aren’t anywhere near that level, still out of respect, you’ll see some videos going viral of Indian graduates touching feet of American professors who jumps back in confusion lol. Edit: With economically rising India and Indians queuing up to come back to their home country, American politicians are worried about draining Indian talent, hence such videos are becoming the talk of the town. As Trump said "Indians study in Ivy Leagues here and go back to India, create businesses , become millionaires and billionaires making their home country rich. We need to stop the talent and give them green card straight away with their graduation degrees in STEM etc fields". Just wish Americans become kind to Indians who are concentrated in top layer where their peers have no qualms but face racism from larger society. It is evident with Indian standup comedians and others who live with drooping shoulders in fear of being attacked, afraid of breathing to their full capacity, wherever they work among layman Americans. Racism which doesn't exist in India despite being the most diverse country or because of being the most diverse country.
Almost everything you said is correct except about back home, everything is changing greatly after 2014 when Modi came to power, India is doing pretty good economically staring 2014.
Hey I'm indian and yeah this is because of crap stuff like reservation and system failure in our nation ,most of the immigrants are from general Hindus (Brahmans,Thakur etc) they tend to live because they are constantly bullied and denied in govt policies and exams and some time even genocide threat which leads large no. of Tamil Brahmans to leave TN and shift to us especially in California state. Eg) cutoff for general in jee is mostly near 90-92 percentile and sc/st less then 45 percentile and total 65% seats are reserved and other 35% is not for general but open for others too, So yeah they leave because they are hardworker and wants to spend a prideful life in a notion with better unbaised system. Edit 1: I hope you understand it better what's going on how the native Indians especially Hindus are treated as 3rd class filthy citizens in their own country, so they look outside for better opportunity and respect.
The main cause of Indians become successful in usa , coz india can't able to fulfill there expectations and hardwork , whereas American provides a better life and appreciate there talents, unfortunately india not having that much money to give there scientists, engineers, so they looks for better opportunities.. and that's what usa gives
Don't worry we are not muslims we won't create a situation like what's happening in UK right now. we'll live in america respecting america & americans.
In India, the hunger for education is amazing/frightening. Everyone wants to become a doctor or engineer. Even poor in India are focused in getting best education for their children, and they will go to any extent to ensure it. I do not see that hunger and drive in the US.
As an Indian born half decade naturalized citizen of the USA, I can vouch for a 100% accuracy of all your points in this video. You sure did your homework. This is also why conservative political leaning should be natural home for Indians but somehow that has not been the case largely, although it is changing as the immigrants' kids grow (example Vivek Ramaswami). We love the USA, our adopted homeland. There is opportunities for everyone if they just apply themselves.
@@kirannnnnn if you know me more than i know me, good for you. Best wishes to you Kiran (which means in hindi "Rays" like in sun rays. But hey, anyone can just Google to find that, right?
Mate, u r right and u r wrong... education, culture, rise in economy and hunger to succeed are inherent to Indians. Spending power of India is massive...
As an immigrant paying taxes in the US for my entire stay here, more than a decade, there are many taxes we pay for but are not eligible for the benefits. e.g. medicare is not allowed for non-citizens, but we sure have to pay the medicare taxes. if anything, the tax laws are biased against immigrants since their benefits cannot be given to them.
What people forget the Civil Rights Movement's USA has played a vital part and made it possible for Indians and many people of coloured coming to USA to well. Indians in United Kingdom do well too. The great sense of family value and working to build wealth and breaking the glass ceiling to achieve good Education, careers, and business developments. They believe in generation wealth. The extended families is key and culture is so important in all indian societies today. Many people of different cultures do not follow this moto.
Not all people live in slums in India. Majority live in nice homes with every convenience that you have in America. If you drive from one end of Kerala which is a southern state to the other end of Kerala you will see the houses they all live in.
Money is not everything. Americans received the maximum noble prizes. Indians shine in the system created by americans. So americans are ahead ofcourse.
The caste system has kept the majority of Indians poor . The system pays more attention to white indians . They have access to better education and livelihood , they live in rich areas. They have access to loans and easy travel abroad . The southern darkskinned indians are left to survive on their own . India has the potential to become the richest country in the world with zero poverty rates . They must abolish the caste system.
I agree with most of the stuff in this video. The Indian per capita is slightly misleading. A dollar goes a long way in India than it does in Europe or USA. Income inequality is a big issue though in India.
It's absurd to compare the average American household income (a whole variety of industries and ages) with a "privileged" cohort of Indians (at prime age, working in tech).
Given this nice effort, let me give a framework to break down which groups are indeed comparable and thus understand the curious phenomenon. Population-wise, India is about 4 Americas. To make sense, it is of key importance to check the comparability of America to each quarter India separately. One of them is indeed comparable with America and it is good to know which one. The average Indian in the top quarter of India - which is equal in size to America - may be less wealthy in dollar terms but is considerably better educated (say, most of them know at least 3 languages) and financially and culturally more conservative. Traditionally, they are conditioned in many age-old and elitist socio-cultural privileges (think "Boston Brahmins" in the US) that are sustained and preserved by their upper caste status. E.g., they relegate all high-risk tasks to multiple servants in each such household. Historically, this top layer made India the global economic leader from 200 BCE to 1200 CE. For perspective, America is the global leader for 2 centuries now. This layer knows how to make and keep their money really well. (They even regarded the Western colonizers as culturally inferior.) So just no comparison there. The 2nd quarter of Indians is where things get more comparable. Americans come across this group as small business owners and officers when they visit India. Some of these middle-class Indians take a loan to send their kids to the US with high-school degrees and legal visas. Then they study and work very hard to repay the loan, and save for themselves and also pulling their families up to upper-middle class back home. It keeps them focused, sincere, law-abiding, and serious. Plus, there is huge peer pressure to succeed. They never waste time in things that they may consider superfluous or unproductive. The 3rd India is lower-middle class, not English-educated, and cannot afford to come to the US unless illegally. Hence, they do not feature in the earnings statistics and cannot be used for comparison. The 4th India is of lower socioeconomic class that is mired in illiteracy and extreme poverty there. Often, they are used for taking sensational snapshots of shocking conditions (1:39) which are peddled in apparently realistic, albeit skewed, stories, as if it is fair comparison. But they have very limited mobility both financially and geographically, and therefore, need not be included in this analysis. Remember, India is one of the most unequal countries in the world, with a large and growing gap between the rich and the poor. Its top groups inherit very rich cultural heritage (music, dress, food, literature, religion, philosophy) and may not feel the draw of other soft alternatives as much.
Indians revere education, Indians schools do a great job of teaching math & science really well! Parental Expectations of kids are high & kids know it & also are confident that parents have their backs!
“Back in India, the economy is dumpster fire.”
I said that in this video and am getting a lot of Indian bros disagreeing, so … was it fair?
People have pointed out two facts, which are undeniably true: 1) The Indian economy is large, and is (or is soon to be) the world’s 4th largest. And 2) in the last handful of years, it’s been improving at a good rate.
Yet my “dumpster fire” has some data to back that up.
- GNI PER CAPITA: I believe this is the fairest way to judge an overall economy, since it doesn’t allow people to cherry-pick good/bad data. Despite the massive size of the economy - they have 1.4 billion people, after all - on a per person basis, it’s still pretty poor, with a GNI of $2,200 per person. That places it #123 in the world, on par with countries like Jamaica and Namibia or some others I hadn’t heard of.
- INCOME DISPARITY: In the world’s biggest country, there are billionaires who throw parties for more dollars than I’ll ever earn, and there millions of people in abject poverty. The last stats show about 140 million people living under $2.15 per day. That’s both improved from the past, and still horrible.
- RECENT STATS: Some are improving, but we’re still looking at a 9.2% unemployment rate in June, lowered savings, substandard healthcare, education, labor participation rates, and India still has a yearly net-out migration of about a half-million, which is proportionally small but more people are still leaving the country than entering it.
So … is that a good/large/improving economy or still one that’s still Third World, despite being one of the earliest civilizations on Earth?
I think dumpster fire was a bit of an exaggeration. Yes, India needs to improve on its wealth inequality. But when we judge anything we do so based on the past. India was a basket-case (which the Brits thought will be Balkanized within a decade) when it was finally independent. It was staring at bankruptcy as recently as 1990 before it liberalized its economy. A more accurate comparison would be the median income difference between Indians living in the US and Indians living in India... and I guess that what you actually meant to say.
We call a Dumpster fire economy , when Debt to GDP Ratio is 124%. When the nation is in $33 Trillion inFederal Debt. When the time it will take to completly pay the Federal debt if GDP was paid without Zero expenses is 340 Years... An economy which runs by printing money is called Whitehouse Dumpster Fire Economy.
again GDP per capita is a bad metric.
If u r gonna use bad metric u r gonna get bad judgements.
Because people in the global north, NGOs and goverment state department in the west are still exploiting the global south, for example Africa is not underdeveloped, it's over exploited. They don't want the global south to develop, it's not in their interest. Americans especially want to maintain their hegemony.
Heard of purchasing power parity?
Federal debt on us economy and raising debt ceiling every time Or else default on debt.
Homeless people in us, extortion price of healthcare and medical tourism to Asian countries
Does this sound like flourishing or vanishing economy
You people were on similar euphoria while china took all your manufacturing, time to repeat that story soon
Indian middle-class values + American opportunities = ultimate combination for wealth
Indians world over embrace opportunities and hence successful. Fact.
American efficiency is the answer. If all Indian Americans were given their own country it will resemble India in no time. 🙄🙄
True so true
You nailed it
It’s true, India was looted by Muslim and British invaders in the past. It takes time to develop a country. It’s very hard for India to rise because of geopolitics. India is surrounded by the enemies inside and outside. Pakistan gets funding from America, China, and other western countries against India. So many things still going on against India to divide it further by foreign countries. But it’s true Indians encourage their children for study. Indians also respect and follow the law and order wherever they go. They don’t do any kind of jihad.

That's a terrible conclusion. We cannot compare Indians brought in a country on a mission, to work for a particular company, for a decent salary, with teenagers flipping burgers at McDonald. The guys brought on H1B visas are supposed to perform! Otherwise, there's no need for them!
@@vzeq24 lol. Why do you act like people of other nationalities or ethnicities, aside from the natives, weren’t also "brought into the country to work for a company and earn a decent salary"? I'm obviously not comparing them to the natives but to other immigrants.
This podcaster does not have some basic info about India. Like any European or US media these guys will show a dinghy street when they show India as if all of India look like that! Shame on these guys !! When they show their own countries they will show most modern sides not the dirty streets - people living in the side walks, drug addicts roaming around the street with fierce looks (this is a common sight on the streets of most of western countries). I'm not saying India is as good as the western countries but everyone would try to project good side if a country unless one produces a documentary on homeless people or something related to hygiene.
I agree with you. I live in a 1500-square-foot house in the middle of 1.5-acre beautiful land here in southern India. Like me, the majority of people in my home two own large houses and have excellent quality of life. But in cities like Mumbai, which holds one of the largest numbers of billionaires in the world, land prices are more expensive than in New York; hence, factory laborers cannot afford to own land and end up living in unlivable areas, such as near the waste dumping sites and the crowded slums. Cities like Mumbai have slums because so many people are filthy rich and own all the properties.
his stereotypical display of India is absurd, we have good and bad sides like every country. before you say about $6 income per day, you should learn to purchase power parity. $6 in India is equal to $100 in US
Another pointless point.
No it would be about 16 dollars
It's 24 usd
He should use Better Stock Footage of India. I mean no need to search the depth of deepest slums as Indian stock footage.
Westerners are mostly biased and patronising. But Instead of complaining the Indian TV channels, UA-camrs and film makers should only show places like Skid Row while depicting America
Correction - Back in India, the economy is NOT a dumpster fire. India is soon to be the 3rd largest economy in the world.
No, I'll stand by my comment. The Indian economy IS improving and is fairly large, but that's because it has 1.4 billion people.
Per capita, it's GNI puts it at #123 worldwide, behind countries like Jamaica and Namibia.

@@ElephantsInRooms why delete my comment bro, sure tone was a bit harsh, its not right to delete and just copy what other's say.
India does not have substandard education. It does lack the opportunity for social mobility.
Education is mostly nature nurture and Thrive - and compared to my 90s education system - now it is far better - but still we have to admit - conceptual learning and overall growth as humans - our education system is not helping - I have done few episodes in Telugu - but I will do some episodes on my channel in English on this subject. Btw- education is different and success in abroad is different - by 25 once you realize you got to work on many issues of life - most hardworking people realize their way of doing things and Indians coming from collective cultures - our responsibilities always keeps us on job to excel
Showing Some Slums and Litter is NOT = INDIA ! about 150 Million persons (Half of US population )are fairly affluent (Proportional to Living costs which is 1/5th of US in USD terms ). The urban and Rural infrastructure is Fast improving, GDP growth is 6.5℅ which you cant dream . India got Independence only 75 yrs back and has surely about 200 million Relative impoverished population. You cant compare ORANGES VS APPLES.

Indian economy is by no means a dumpster fire. It was bad. But it is growing at an amazing rate.
No. It is a dumpster. The reason for GDP growth is population. The gap between the rich and the poor is ever widening. GDP per capita is degrading day after day. Only the Ambanis, Adanis and their likes are getting richer.
@@roshanmaharana maybe it was your personal experience. In my surroundings, people are making more money than before, and were able to afford flights and everything.
@@SaitejaPamulapati it doesn’t matter about you and me. What matters is the overall facts. Even in my surroundings i have people who can afford flights. But I also have people around me who can’t even afford a train. And going by the facts, the people in the latter category are more in number across India. It’s basically 1% of the population own 90% of the wealth. So overall, India is not doing great but India can do great if policies are introduced to tackle this disparity.
@@roshanmaharana Oh Yeah! policies like free rice bags? lol.
@@SaitejaPamulapati no. The free rice bag policy of the government is making people lazy. Policies like ease of doing business. Making policies that attract more foreign investment where companies don’t have to run from office to office for permits and paperworks. Policies to increase the funding in R&D. USA spends nearly 6% of its budget. While India spends less than 1%. India needs to increase its R&D funding across its prestigious institutions facilitating more research and innovation.
The real elephant in the room is how this guy still knows so little about india in this day and age.

India was rich, colonisation ruined it n made it poor. Today with good leadership we are back to growth
If a small country can carve boats and sail half way across the world and 'ruin' a much larger country with a much larger nation then that is a damn fragile country.. unusual for a rich nation.

The single most important unit in a civilizations' success is the family unit. American families are broken, busted & strained. Kids from divorce will not make good role models. Save marriage, save family, save American.
Very good point. I did discuss it though! :)

The difference between Chinese and Indian immigrant students is Chinese study and go back to their country and use their skills there and develop their own country. The conditions there are conducive for that. Whereas Indian students after completing their education from American universities work in America for a living because back there in India conditions for job opportunities for high skilled talent is very very poor. Both central and state governments treat their citizens like beggars like any communist/socialist governments do and want to hand over freebies instead of creating employment opportunities. For creating employment you need high skilled work force but for distributing alms you can just randomly pick some beggars and ask them to distribute among themselves. That is the difference. India is almost like Venezuela because the political mindset irrespective of political party has not changed since independence. Look at the percentage of H1B visas grabbed by Indians 81 percent go to Indians. Chinese only 3 percent. Educated Indians somehow want to leave the country and settle abroad . they don't want their children to suffer like they suffered in India. even our own celebrated minister of external affairs son has chosen to become a US citizen. Another bizarre fact about Indian education is ninety three percentage of so called " SCHOLORSHIPS" given by all universities ,educational institutions ,Central and state governments are given to those where consideration for getting a scholarship is other than merit. Mostly on the basis of in which caste you are born not on the basis of how you excel academically.
For every 3 Indian CEOs making headlines, thousands (23,763 H1 approvals in ‘24) of Indians in the U.S. face immense uncertainty about their future in the country. Imagine living day-to-day not knowing if or when you might be forced to leave, despite working hard, paying taxes, being humble, and raising families while dealing with fear of discrimination or worse for your kids.
On visas like L1, mobility is nearly impossible. On H1B, switching jobs can take months with no guarantees, making it hard to join startups or explore opportunities. Many endure this because they are chasing the American dream and deeply admire what this country stands for.
So, next time you see an Indian family at the mall or on the street, recognize that they’re likely high earners (most making $120K+), contributing significantly to the economy, yet carrying the burden of uncertainty about their future. They’re trying to build lives here, just like so many others before them.
India has all the firepower but it is waiting for “the spark”. Good people + Growth potential + “Lack of opportunities”.
i am scared if we wait longer for the spark...we will loose opportunity to be rich country because we have lost the birth rate now...we just have 20 years if noone sparks that fire or sparks a wrong way...we are doomed actually

They are not coming back. If they were In India, the govt might have say the to sell pokoda .
The highest Indian household income earners live in Canada.
We have 25 Indians per household at $20k/year each, total $500K per household!

Bhai ne chun chun ke worst possible images dikhai hai India ki. Some closet racist, he is. Not a word about India's progress during the years (however slow and frustrating)

THE GOVERNMENT knows these Guys are really Nice
😢Unfortunately in recent times Indians has to face Racism 😕
There are Indian values and then there's the law of large numbers, assuming all the 65K H1B visas were given to all Indians. Do it for 20 years from say 2004 to 2024 and with that 1.3 Million Indian H1Bs will come to the US. This is 0.1% of 1.4 Billion people of India 😀who have come to the US.
Hope the rest of the Intelligent people remaining in India will make it the the best economy in the world in next 20 years 😀
So if people are offended by the dumpster fire word , they know that if 1.3 Million people are contributing so much to the US. The have the rest of the 99.9% in India to make it better than the best.
You guies are really underestimated India for a long time.. By relying on old India's slum videos,just visit once to India..I am 100 % sure your mind will be blown...
I’ve been to India twice, 15 years ago and this year.
While it has gotten better in some ways, it is still noticeably impoverished. Having been to several other poor parts of the world, not particularly mind-blowing…
Super honest analysis
Hey Ken great video, but you are committing a slight error. You are inferring that the huge Indian household income is because of values, traditions work ethics etc. You also mention that Indians have the lowest divorce rate of all ethnicities.
Well that’s the trick if an average green person earns 70k but lives alone, and the average Indian earns 40k but is always living with a working partner that would make household incomes larger for Indians , which hides a different reality.
In reality other metrics do show Indians success but this one could be misleading.
For instance it was used to say that black Americans have their average income declined during the last 40 years, which in fact the average income of a black American has increased, but given that the divorce rate has skyrocketed, the household income could have decreased you know ?
It’s just a comment, I really appreciate your work . Keep on man !
You know, this is a fantastic point and one I need to dig into more, especially for future videos. You're right in that different divorce rates could -- depending on how they deal with divorced parents -- definitely be affected even if salaries were unchanged.
Thinking it through, if I divorce my wife, are we now considered two separate families? If she remarries, are the kids considered part of two families? I can see it getting confusing, but is worthwhile to know.
I'll definitely look into it. You know, one of the slight bummers about producing these videos is I sometimes -- like now -- get educated better, but only after the video is produced.
Thanks Kevin!

Ok, I spent some time with this and can confidently say: I'm not really sure.
The income data comes from the U.S. Census and that's all household based, and I could only find one reference that attempted to break it down by individual. That was Pew, which I highly regard.
Even they, though, didn't give me a comparison to other American ethnicities, just Indian vs. Asians in the U.S. And those numbers showed Indians substantially outperforming.
According to them, Median Annual Personal Earnings of full time workers: Asians - $60,000, Indians $85,000, roughly the same differences we saw with family earnings, maybe even larger. Again, no national comparison for everyone, though.
Those are also round numbers and I couldn't find their source/methodology and I don't know divorce rates for Asians in general here.

So, well, there we go.

America all because of dollars Dominance and whole world knows that how you have achieved all😂😂😂
Finally Americans are waking up to the powerhouse Indian talent that has become a critical part of the country. Their hardwork and contribution to developed America is recognised after three generations or more.
Good points. What’s missed is that only Indian Hindu are at the top anywhere in the world, as also seen by wealthy American Hindu Lobby catered to by Obama and Trump alike. The crux of this success is the continual ancient Hindu civilisation values in families though distorted gravely due to invasions, genocides and modernism. You’ve extracted the points well on education, math and arranged marriage within families. If you look closely these values are identical with ultra rich generational wealth holding rich families anywhere. That’s because that’s the only way to succeed with stability, passing the benefits down the generations or building up in case of newly poor Indians thanks to Brit’s and Islam induced multiple genocides. Indians have a very strong civilizational memory of wealth and are just trying to get back to where our great grandparents were.
Math runs in Indian DNA so that’s a natural. Medicine, law, engineering are culturally revered due to lineage of Ayurveda, Dharm, Excellent architectural genius of civilisation. But the Hindu education behemoth system was cut by the Brit’s and English education imposed which is highly inferior hence the struggling Indians post Brit colonialism. Hence, they all get whatever education they can get by the fragmented British education system setup in 1800s and to avoid corruption of govt that kills opportunities, Indians move for opportunities essentially though reluctantly as Indian food and spirituality is carried by them in their hearts wherever they go. Spirituality is a huge basis for non consumerism, minimalism, karma conscience to do well and strong sense of giving back to those who gave them shelter, ie the countries they migrate to in current context. Teachers are seen as revered sages culturally hence even if current teachers aren’t anywhere near that level, still out of respect, you’ll see some videos going viral of Indian graduates touching feet of American professors who jumps back in confusion lol.
Edit: With economically rising India and Indians queuing up to come back to their home country, American politicians are worried about draining Indian talent, hence such videos are becoming the talk of the town. As Trump said "Indians study in Ivy Leagues here and go back to India, create businesses , become millionaires and billionaires making their home country rich. We need to stop the talent and give them green card straight away with their graduation degrees in STEM etc fields".
Just wish Americans become kind to Indians who are concentrated in top layer where their peers have no qualms but face racism from larger society. It is evident with Indian standup comedians and others who live with drooping shoulders in fear of being attacked, afraid of breathing to their full capacity, wherever they work among layman Americans. Racism which doesn't exist in India despite being the most diverse country or because of being the most diverse country.
Almost everything you said is correct except about back home, everything is changing greatly after 2014 when Modi came to power, India is doing pretty good economically staring 2014.
Hey I'm indian and yeah this is because of crap stuff like reservation and system failure in our nation ,most of the immigrants are from general Hindus (Brahmans,Thakur etc) they tend to live because they are constantly bullied and denied in govt policies and exams and some time even genocide threat which leads large no. of Tamil Brahmans to leave TN and shift to us especially in California state.
Eg) cutoff for general in jee is mostly near 90-92 percentile and sc/st less then 45 percentile and total 65% seats are reserved and other 35% is not for general but open for others too,
So yeah they leave because they are hardworker and wants to spend a prideful life in a notion with better unbaised system.
Edit 1: I hope you understand it better what's going on how the native Indians especially Hindus are treated as 3rd class filthy citizens in their own country, so they look outside for better opportunity and respect.
😂🤣
@oooo-n2h6e why laughing mate?
@oooo-n2h6e I see my auto correct does make this elongated essay much elongated to understand 😭😂
The main cause of Indians become successful in usa , coz india can't able to fulfill there expectations and hardwork , whereas American provides a better life and appreciate there talents, unfortunately india not having that much money to give there scientists, engineers, so they looks for better opportunities.. and that's what usa gives
Don't worry we are not muslims we won't create a situation like what's happening in UK right now. we'll live in america respecting america & americans.
Seems this guy do not know much about India, only negativity about India
In India, the hunger for education is amazing/frightening. Everyone wants to become a doctor or engineer. Even poor in India are focused in getting best education for their children, and they will go to any extent to ensure it. I do not see that hunger and drive in the US.
As an Indian born half decade naturalized citizen of the USA, I can vouch for a 100% accuracy of all your points in this video. You sure did your homework.
This is also why conservative political leaning should be natural home for Indians but somehow that has not been the case largely, although it is changing as the immigrants' kids grow (example Vivek Ramaswami).
We love the USA, our adopted homeland. There is opportunities for everyone if they just apply themselves.
You are not an Indian
@@kirannnnnn if you know me more than i know me, good for you. Best wishes to you Kiran (which means in hindi "Rays" like in sun rays. But hey, anyone can just Google to find that, right?
Appreciate your honest opinion about India.
Please make a video about the Ohio pet eating allegations!
Completely wrong depiction of India with slums. India is about to order 400 planes
They got that dog in em.
Mate, u r right and u r wrong... education, culture, rise in economy and hunger to succeed are inherent to Indians. Spending power of India is massive...
India and Indians were the richest before islamic invasion later colonised by the British...
Ethnic nepotism and generous tax laws towards immigrants in certain industries such as liquor stores, gas stations, etc.
Generous tax laws towards immigrants? I've never heard of that.
Much probably he is comparing the tax of the countries that they come to the United states tax system.@@ElephantsInRooms
@@ElephantsInRoomsthanks for questioning suspect comments. Unclear what they are referring to but I’m also unfamiliar
Look at the hotel and trucking. Totally trash.
As an immigrant paying taxes in the US for my entire stay here, more than a decade, there are many taxes we pay for but are not eligible for the benefits. e.g. medicare is not allowed for non-citizens, but we sure have to pay the medicare taxes. if anything, the tax laws are biased against immigrants since their benefits cannot be given to them.
INDIAN genz does not believe delayed gratification.
Very well researched video almost ticks all the checkboxes
What people forget the Civil Rights Movement's USA has played a vital part and made it possible for Indians and many people of coloured coming to USA to well. Indians in United Kingdom do well too. The great sense of family value and working to build wealth and breaking the glass ceiling to achieve good Education, careers, and business developments. They believe in generation wealth. The extended families is key and culture is so important in all indian societies today. Many people of different cultures do not follow this moto.
Gentleman, Do you know the current number of unicorns in India?
Well documented. I found the material from the 4:36 mark onwards quite valid.
Not all people live in slums in India. Majority live in nice homes with every convenience that you have in America. If you drive from one end of Kerala which is a southern state to the other end of Kerala you will see the houses they all live in.
If Indian education is substandard then how they are flourishing in foreign countries. Your words are pure paradox 😂
Money is not everything. Americans received the maximum noble prizes. Indians shine in the system created by americans. So americans are ahead ofcourse.
I didn't get the flag with Indian colour shown at intro. Can somebody help me understand that
The caste system has kept the majority of Indians poor . The system pays more attention to white indians . They have access to better education and livelihood , they live in rich areas. They have access to loans and easy travel abroad .
The southern darkskinned indians are left to survive on their own .
India has the potential to become the richest country in the world with zero poverty rates . They must abolish the caste system.
I agree with most of the stuff in this video. The Indian per capita is slightly misleading. A dollar goes a long way in India than it does in Europe or USA. Income inequality is a big issue though in India.
It's absurd to compare the average American household income (a whole variety of industries and ages) with a "privileged" cohort of Indians (at prime age, working in tech).
Given this nice effort, let me give a framework to break down which groups are indeed comparable and thus understand the curious phenomenon.
Population-wise, India is about 4 Americas. To make sense, it is of key importance to check the comparability of America to each quarter India separately. One of them is indeed comparable with America and it is good to know which one.
The average Indian in the top quarter of India - which is equal in size to America - may be less wealthy in dollar terms but is considerably better educated (say, most of them know at least 3 languages) and financially and culturally more conservative. Traditionally, they are conditioned in many age-old and elitist socio-cultural privileges (think "Boston Brahmins" in the US) that are sustained and preserved by their upper caste status. E.g., they relegate all high-risk tasks to multiple servants in each such household.
Historically, this top layer made India the global economic leader from 200 BCE to 1200 CE. For perspective, America is the global leader for 2 centuries now. This layer knows how to make and keep their money really well. (They even regarded the Western colonizers as culturally inferior.) So just no comparison there.
The 2nd quarter of Indians is where things get more comparable. Americans come across this group as small business owners and officers when they visit India. Some of these middle-class Indians take a loan to send their kids to the US with high-school degrees and legal visas.
Then they study and work very hard to repay the loan, and save for themselves and also pulling their families up to upper-middle class back home. It keeps them focused, sincere, law-abiding, and serious. Plus, there is huge peer pressure to succeed. They never waste time in things that they may consider superfluous or unproductive.
The 3rd India is lower-middle class, not English-educated, and cannot afford to come to the US unless illegally. Hence, they do not feature in the earnings statistics and cannot be used for comparison.
The 4th India is of lower socioeconomic class that is mired in illiteracy and extreme poverty there. Often, they are used for taking sensational snapshots of shocking conditions (1:39) which are peddled in apparently realistic, albeit skewed, stories, as if it is fair comparison. But they have very limited mobility both financially and geographically, and therefore, need not be included in this analysis.
Remember, India is one of the most unequal countries in the world, with a large and growing gap between the rich and the poor. Its top groups inherit very rich cultural heritage (music, dress, food, literature, religion, philosophy) and may not feel the draw of other soft alternatives as much.
Indians revere education, Indians schools do a great job of teaching math & science really well! Parental Expectations of kids are high & kids know it & also are confident that parents have their backs!
