The more I learn of India, the more I like it.
For all that it's hell to be in the underclass there.
But things can, and hopefully will, change.
Not completely true. What I mean is that the formulation of the above point is incorrect. Words like 'underclass' came from the left. The truth is that EVERYONE in India suffered due to socialism. India has realized that they were victims of socialism which was foisted on them and is rapidly moving away from it. So the second part of your above point will be fulfilled the more they embrace the free-market.
The other part about India that I like is that they have realized that all their suspicions of Americans can be traced to the Dims and India prefers that the Republican Party rules USA. Just google for this point and you will find stunning stuff - before every election, Indian media reports that the government is worried that the Dims would win! They are starting to analyze American politics instead of holding all Americans responsible for the folly and hostility of the Dims.
I have many Indian friends and colleagues. They are nice, smart, family oriented, and culturally a good fit with us conservatives.
The poverty in India is strong, with little children begging in the streets. But the system is changing as India embraces free markets and is helping poorer families to obtain an education.
