India: It’s Worse Than You Think

Most Westerners know nothing about India beyond vague ideas about Hinduism, yoga, gurus, and maybe a dash of Bollywood. To such people, this article will be a rude awakening. ...

I had first returned to India with the idea of improving it, but after 11 years, I realized that India was a sinking ship, with worsening and increasingly shameless corruption, degraded people, and a society that was falling apart. I had never met an honest bureaucrat or politician. I applied to emigrate to Canada and my application was approved in a record three weeks.

I now advise East Asian and Western corporations on investing in India. Most of what I tell them sounds to them exaggerated, unrealistic, and unbelievable. After much dance, drama, and a great deal of lost money, they begin to believe what I tell them. However, this learning is never institutionalized because of a refusal to understand India. This is a form of political correctness, a poison eating away the innards of Western values.

When I was a child growing up in India, I learned that “might makes right.” Power was often abused, with those in control acting as if they had a God-given right to exploit and dominate others. The display of authority could be so extreme that questioning it or expecting those in power to do their duty might lead to retribution. Those in authority seemed to believe that their positions were not for serving others but for personal gain.

People who showed respect appeared to have meekly accepted a lower, subservient position. Kind people had to hide their compassion, for being nice was seen as a weakness.

In India, I have rarely seen someone in authority take the initiative to solve a problem he was responsible for. When I was at university, an underaged boy who worked in the kitchen was raped and sodomized by the janitors. I reported the matter, but not only did no one in authority do what was right — something well within their power — the authorities and fellow students threatened me with severe consequences if I pursued the matter further. Devoid of empathy, they also made fun of the boy and me.

Yes, there is an element of sadism here. There is some degree of pleasure that Indians take in the pain suffered by others. The attitude of the authorities was like that of the high-placed Delhi bureaucrat who told me that his Black Label whiskey tastes so much better because he knows that most Indians can’t afford to drink it.

This confuses Westerners. If they had power, even if they were corrupt, in a situation where there was nothing to gain or lose — no bribes to receive since both parties were poor, and no risk of offending someone well-connected — they would do the right thing and book the alleged rapist. These Indians would do nothing, not even lift a finger, unless there was a reward: money or sex. Their apathy was bottomless.


The article goes on about how incredibly low-trust India is as a society.

True? Any people from India want to opine on this?

If India were a Republican form of govt and not a Democracy?

As per below, the shitholes that are India's cities could become like this...better and faster than the Chinese did.

Yes, but then Indian politicians won't be able to blame India's problems they caused on the British...or Americans (some Jeet argued with me the other day on X that America was responsible for splitting up India in 1948, not the British. I swear.)..or the Pakis...or whatever.

And KgK one won't have to deny his shame of his own shithole country via denial of reality trolling crap here, either.

It's all so simple, really.

Plenty of nice places in india. Yes agree that British colonism brought indias gdp from 30% to mere 2 %. They starved 100 million by shipping food for their own wars with France n Germany.
For a developing country it's doing amazing. China is dictatorship , so things can happen lot faster. It is biggest democracy in the world, if usa loved democracy then it should support it, but it funds dictator everywhere.

Do you live there currently in India? You're talking about a few streets in major cities in the US being bad. The US is 3x's as large and has 1/3rd the population. You pack 1B people into a small place for the most part and it will be a shit hole. It's okay to admit it.

You're trying to defend things that are indefensible. Yes the US has a few problem spots in certain cities. Maybe 30 legit cities. India probably has 500 shit holes at least and it's the entire city. Not just a pocket.

A neighboring town in my area has an Indian run gas station. The owner lives there. The place smell like shit, like human feces. I swear they are pooping in buckets or something. It was run by whites 20 years ago and smelled just fine.
389   KgK one   2025 Sep 26, 10:31am  

Agree you cant compare emerging country to usa. Lot of shitty areas in india obviously, point is there are many pockets of nice areas also.

As for gas stations, usa has some really nice ones and many private shitty ones. Dont care who owns it asian, indian, latino or white all stink. Prefer using those big corporate places usually are much cleaner.

Guessing that small private gas station is low profit, n lot of work that no one local wanted to operate. Gas stations by itself are very low profit, their store sales make up the difference.

When I'm traveling, I always seek motels that are not owned/operated by Indians, for the simple reason that Indian-run locations are more often than not unhygienic. This is because the Brahmins and other upper caste Indians consider it beneath themselves to have concerns about keeping the bathrooms clean or fumigating for bedbugs. This is probably why most Indians shit in the woods - it's too disgusting to wipe your own ass.

I see this all the time at work - men who won't touch their cocks to direct the spray so they piss all over the floor instead, figuring Dalits will take care of it.

I predict I will get my second ignore from this by you know who.

My big beef is that "Investor Visas" should NOT be available for buying existing businesses, at least service businesses.

The motel/gas station existed and mostly would continue to exist without the "Investor Visa".

Not only does not create NEW jobs, it actually destroys jobs since the new foreign owners bring their family to run it, only keeping a handful of housekeepers.

Yes india existed long before Alexander. Alexander reached current day pakistan. India was top 3 powers thru out history except after British. British came to india in indian built ships, even some Indians funded first trading company east india company but got betrayed. After British economy went from 30% to 2 % . British also starved 100 million by taking food for its war. Even after independence it installed it's puppet government.

Britain was largest but it has lost it powers, so nothing is permanent. Time equalizer it all.

Yes in litter sense.
They still shoot movies and documentaries on their pedophile agent
Muhammad Akmal Gandhi (Marketed as the Mahatma Gandhi 😜) with their fake narratives to remind next generation of slaves.
Wealthy clients still run from London banking system.
Bulleywood is still run from London through underworld. London is safe heaven for so many high profile both soft and hard criminals to hide with ill gotten money.
All the fake media and left leaning politicians are controlled from the west. The list goes on.
Like any other country, India has its own problems to solve but west is making some of the things more challenging.

Imagine giving tax-benefits to foreigners that citizens don't get to buy existing service businesses in a highly capitalized and populated area.

The US has NO shortage of investment looking to make loans and NO shortage of gas stations, motels, etc. The US is overcapitalized if anything.

Nobody who puts America First could have disliked this sentiment. Only a foreigner wanting to follow in the steps of stupid laws their fellows took advantage of.

Furthermore, at the very least, "Investor Visas" should be non-renewable or transferable. If a BP went to one investor visa holder, it should not be able to be legally sold to another visa holder/applicant (with the tax benefit then being renewed, which is how foreigners built wealth, by legal tax evasion - transfer from Uncle Ramit to Cousin Sanjay, same family owns but the tax benefit renews for another multiyear period. Not even the craftiest econo-bullshitartist could justify that as good or necessary)

Not sure how many other countries use handwritten prescriptions but at least in India most small private practices write in some kind of code that no one can read other than the intended pharmacist who can give kickbacks.
413   Patrick   2025 Oct 1, 8:32am  

Wow, that's pretty corrupt.

So the doctor forces the patient to go to a pharmacy that will pay a kickback to the doctor, raising the price for the patient.

You bet, oftentimes that pharmacy store run by family or extended family member in my personal observation.
Even worse, I remember seeing doctors prescribing truck loads of unnecessary medication 💊 for no other than making money off the poor patents.
These are criminals in white coats.

I heard that things became much worse after corporations became popular.
415   Patrick   2025 Oct 1, 12:14pm  

The US also has the same problem with doctors prescribing highly profitable but unnecessary medication.

The kickbacks are more hidden here though, via Pfizer funding the FDA, and the rotating door between Pfizer and the FDA.

Corruption starts when the student gets into medical school and has to take out student loans to become a doctor...I doubt that this is normal in other countries. What is taught in medical schools in likely influenced by monies that the medical schools accept. Just like in public schools...medical school indoctrination starts early.

This was also normal in usa 10 years ago, sales people would take doctors to las vegas, games , etc. Phama also would hire lot of hot chicks to seduce n fk doctors, then doctors would prescribe meds. Oxycontin is perfect example.

Now most pharma sales rep in us n india can only give modest lunch to learn about product. Doctors in india do over prescribe, though some meds are way cheaper in india than usa. Corrupt people in all profession do this still everywhere.

That and licenses are controlled by the AMA monopoly and the State.

We REALLY need to have a national conversation about professional association monopolies like the Bar and AMA and so forth.

It should take active malpractice and injury to pull a license, not disagreement about protocols. We had doctors using chloroform until the 1980s and nobody badgered them, despite evidence that ether (and of course more modern anesthetics) were far less dangerous for many decades before then.
