>>With time, I realized that for most Indian immigrants, this led to a compulsive need to recreate India in the ghettos they moved into. They sought the familiar smells, noise, and constant hustle and bustle. They recreated never-ending emotionalism, fruitless conflicts, chaos, and intellectual inbreeding.

I actually saw this phenomenon in Toronto!

You know there is like Chinatown, then there were a stretch on Gerrard Street that was like Indiatown. Nothing too unusual on how that looked.

One day, I was on my bicycle, and I was around Danforth Ave in the east of Toronto, very close to where a lot of Indians like in those apartment blocks.

As I was heading home, I looked up and was stunned. I never saw anything like this. There was this stretch of buildings on the street, where all the shops were stacked one on top of the another for like three stories, cramped small shops, it was very loud, people were loitering on the street (all Indians), some smell of spices, and the neon lighting were all on. I thought it was nuts.

Actually, I have seen this, but only in pictures, pictures of slums from other places in the world. Did not expect this in that neighbourhood. LOL. I mean, there is Chinatown in Toronto, but Chinatown does not really look like China or Hong Kong.

That stretch of Danforth Ave in Toronto, seemed like a place directly straight out of India. Cramped, loud, spices, noisy, bright lights blasting our senses.

Kind of impressed, lol.

I quickly rode away on my bicycle. Double lol.

>>In economics, there is a concept of the “middle-income trap.” I prefer to call India’s situation the “low-income trap.” Contrary to the beliefs of professional economists, these traps have cultural underpinnings; it is virtually impossible to escape.

Yeah, I really doubt there is any hope for India economically speaking, the mass poverty will persist. The de-humanizing experience that the article talked about for the masses in India will endure.

The rupee keeps going down. No one there cares at all.

Destroy the currency and destroy the society. And no one cares.

>>Most Indians cannot think beyond money, sex, and survival — just what you would expect of a society with an average IQ of 77. Every Western value given to them has been caricatured and corrupted for these ends. Indians have no Ten Commandments. They are so unaware of these values that they remain oblivious even if they are forcefully presented to them. There is nothing you can do about this, except to try to understand what immigration from India and the rest of Third World will do to the West.

Indians have no Ten Commandments.

That is a point to consider.

The Ten Commandments is like the blueprint. We may not be strong or able enough to live up to them, for that we may be punished, however, there is the blueprint, the guide for life.

We Chinese, we got our own thing, no need to talk about that here.

What the Indians have, is their caste system.

India cannot rise. Only the elite can skim off the top to keep their status in Indian society, but the rest of Indian society will continue as is, never really improving.

That is why everyone wants out. And once they get to Canada, none of them really want to leave.

That the future of India, I am convinced of that. Enduring poverty and deprivation, or it breaks up like Yugoslavia did after Tito.
