Some see a problem, I see possibilities.
Currently living in rural India for the last half a year, and India fails on this because India is still entrenched in it’s centuries-old caste system, where corruption is every day business and common courtesy does not exist except for self.
Everyone expects someone else to pay and do the work, and most government workers don’t bother working at all unless you bribe them.
The Eastern half of India is currently in it’s third year of drought. the Godavari river is all but dried up and the people are out of drinking water in some places.
In India, no one does anything unless it benefits them in some way in money or political favors, and more than half the population are considered ‘untouchable’ and get little to nothing in support or help.
India is a system three and a half millennia old, and it does not change, except that everyone has cell phones but few have running water or toilets outside of using the side of the road. It’s chaos, graft and corruption on a scale that would make Chicago blush.
India sounds like Mexico.
Ah, just like Congress.
It's how oligarch elites stay in power. If you're a smart lower-middle-class guy wanting to start a business, you face an endless stream of bureaucrats wanting to be bribed to overlook your violation of some obscure regulation, or to stamp your form, etc. Meanwhile, the "connected" don't have to worry about low-level bureaucrats when they have department heads on their payroll.
The net effect is that the elite make money without having to work hard. Meanwhile, the unconnected find it impossibly hard to get anything off the ground, which is why they all want to come here on H1B visas.
“It’s chaos, graft and corruption on a scale that would make Chicago blush.”
That is hard to believe!

[India is still entrenched in it’s centuries-old caste system,]
Uhuh. And that fact is apparently very useful -- rendering a pit filled with a half a billion or so impoverished souls nipping up at the heels of the H1B "sponsored".
Evidently it makes them highly motivated to "Just Shut Up and Code"...
