      It’s a fucked up state. Poverty, low literacy rate, and a massive population all contribute.

        I’ve watched like 20+ seasons of Amazing Race and of all the countries visited, India was by far the worst. Always. The dread every participant had going in and the relief when leaving was palpable. You couldn’t pay me enough to go there.

      There are 240 million people in it. For this particular instance, there is a great convergence of a large amount of lower castes and not valuing women much. There is a high percentage of lower castes who are looked down upon unofficially and there are only about 900 women for every 1000 men because they abort girls and often don’t give them basic shit like food.
