India, a country of 2.97 million square kilometers of land, feeds 1.4 billion people, 800 million of whom are poor, and 200 million people eat only two eggs for three meals a day. What makes people wonder is that India can't open the pot when it is poor, why is the population still increasing? On the other hand, the mainland has a large area and a large population, but young people are reluctant to have children.
The first root of poverty, the vicious circle of poverty after the plundering of the colonizers
India's Isunak became the British prime minister because the British colonized India for 190 years, and the rich Indians had the opportunity to go to Britain, and the same price in exchange was to be robbed by the British. India has many tropical fruits and mineral resources, but only the British have the technology to grow and mine, so the money spent on these resources has entered the pockets of the British. The development of the local economy cannot support the productive forces, and the destruction of handicrafts, agriculture and other productive forces greatly limits the upper limit of economic development. In this case, to hell with not being poor enough to get home. After getting rid of British colonization, India's wealth remained in the hands of the rich 1%, they had Indian Silicon Valley and Indian Bora. Without wealth functions to dominate the world, even Sunak's father-in-law, Narayan Namolti, can become India's Bill Gates, the godfather of India's software industry, and become a billionaire, relying on IT. What do the remaining 99% of the poor have?
How poor is India?
The second root cause of poverty is the unequal distribution of labour. The number of cheap labor in India is super large, and there are tens of millions of people doing any unskilled position, endless shoes, endless clothes, endless flat burdens, and endless tricycles. One of the most famous is India's human flesh washing machine, a laundry plant for thousands of people, a swimming pool with hundreds of people, washing clothes for 15 hours a day, washing more than 200,000 pieces of clothes by hand, and a proper human washing machine. If this is in the mainland, unless the expensive clothes will be sent to the dry cleaner for cleaning, the daily wear will be handed over to the washing machine, and then it is not good to rub it twice with your hands, who will have the money and laziness to send every piece of clothing to the manual laundry?
This is where India's poor roots lie. The poor spend a lot of time and energy washing clothes for the upper classes, and the salary is less than 1,000 yuan a month. This extends to the third root of poverty, low literacy and a percentage illiteracy rate in India. 21 Accounting for more than 35% of the world's illiterate population, 300 million people who have not read a school are illiterate and illiterate, and they can exchange time and physical strength for money and food. Although the mainland also has a large population, the transformation of human resources is very good, and the illiteracy rate has dropped below 4%. India, on the other hand, has cultivated 16% of the world's IT talents, of which 1/3 are engaged in construction in Silicon Valley in the United States, and the CEOs of Microsoft, Google, IBM, Motorola, Pepsi and other companies are of Indian descent.
India is poor and can't open the pot, why is the population still increasing?
This is the fourth root of poverty, the poorer the birth. One is affected by the abolished caste system, the poor are also low caste, no matter how hard they try, they cannot change, unless they become part of the 1% of the rich, high caste people get married and have children, otherwise, the poor of the low caste will find ways for the high caste rich to induce children, for the future to provide a steady stream of services for the rich, the second is the influence of Indian culture, the status of Indian women is very low, the word rate is less than 66%, and Indian women who have just come of age will be arranged by the family to get married. A woman after marriage cannot refuse to have children, nor can she file for divorce, except in. What else can you do with having a baby? The most afraid is that I have to work when I go out, and I have to have a baby when I go home.
What's more, India's patriarchal thinking is extremely serious, in the eyes of the father, the girl is a money-loser, so the father and daughter must be born to death until the boy is born. It is also paradoxical to say, India's poor families can only share the pressure of the family if they have more children, and those who cannot afford to study have to work to earn money at the age of seven or eight, and even Indian Prime Minister Modi has mastered the skills of shining shoes, washing clothes, and selling milk tea and soda at a young age. In addition, India is rich in natural resources, and children will not starve to death no matter how poor they are born.
India, an ancient and mysterious country, has a long history and a splendid culture. However, beneath its glamorous exterior, India hides a lot of hidden poverty and backwardness.
India's poverty has a long history, dating back to the British colonial period. British colonialists ruled India for 190 years, plundering much of India's wealth and slowing down India's economy.
