Misleading. Average Indians are poor but not the nation.

Around 220 million people in India are Dalits anyway so of course you're going to have so many people in India who have low living standard. The caste system plays a role in India's backwardness in some way.

I never denied most of the people are poor especially when there's the caste system, India have 220 million Dalits.

By the way much of India's wealth was looted by the British. India is still defined as a super rich nation by most experts.

India's problem is not the caste system. Its the caste poltics. People of so called lower castes and backward castes only vote for their own caste people. And they are very currupt
