India is the third world and is only getting wealthy it seems by the exporting of American desk jobs (phone staffing, graphic design, computer programming and testing, legal document generation...)

They seem to have a lot of growth in the phone scam sector.

Yeah, all these “developing/third world” counties have been around for thousands of years and they are still, “developing.”

-- "third world" --> the Third-world meant countries that, during the cold war, didn't fall into either US or USSR led camps. This included not only India but also Sweden and Switzerland. The terminology no longer makes sense.

-- " is only getting wealthy it seems by the exporting of American desk jobs". That's not true - it seems that way, but both the ITO (Information Technology Outsourcing) and BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) in India today contribute to around 9.5% of the country's GDP and employs around 3.5 million people

The biggest internal jump is caused by it PARTIALLY ending socialism. That's caused internal consumption to boom.

Note: I said PARTIALLY - they have reformed may be 25%. If they went whole hog they'd be at China levels now with complete internal markets.

AND what makes it horrifying is that all the socialists in the USA want to implement the policies that kept India stagnated from 1947 to 1991
