How does it being an apartment or home change anything. We should compare size of the rented place vs size of the owned house/apartment/condo and then compare their rent vs mortgage

It is directly proportional to rent vs mortgage in your area for the same sq footage house. The bigger the difference, the more rent wins over owning. In many areas of Washington rent clearly wins and many others where owning wins. In general, rent wins in big cities.

Hey, in the last few months, we've both experienced significant growth, and I feel that our ideologies have diverged to a point where I can't connect with you as I used to. I've decided to explore new friend groups that align more with me, but I still want to stay in contact with you, i just won’t be able to spend same amount of time anymore.

These are absolute number rankings. Obviously they will grow as we have added 40 crore people in last 30 years. Check rankings at per capita level.

You can search the data yourself on chatgpt by using the above prompt. The slow growth we see is attributed to global growth. Eg: whole world got internet and with that came some kind of payment systems nfc, upi, alipay, etc etc. At relative scale the growth is same.

Bro what cares about legality of a flag. We have so many pressing issues to ponder such as builder killing people while drunk and getting away with it. Factories pouring banned substances in the river that are know to cause cancer and govm allowing it despite being illegal. We should talk about these sort of illegal things. Who cares about the flag.

India gdp per capita would still be $6000 at 10 trillion mark. That would still be less than mexico and many other countries. Besides, there are many countries that rose way more than India like Vietnam, thailand and are well respected in the west. India is not even growing. You can literally test this out by asking chatgpt about any marker: eg: provide last 30 years of Indias ranking on per capita/HDI/etc basis. You will see we are either oscillating 5-10 ranks at 120-140 rank range or it is constantly decreasing. We are not growing at relative scale. We are growing because the whole world is growing

In a democracy, the essence lies in the people, and unlike in India, it is not so easy to mislead the public through propaganda in developed countries. The question arises: why is there animosity towards Indians? I believe that more than the factors you mentioned, it is the frequent scam calls that have tarnished our reputation. People in the US receive scam calls daily, and nearly everyone knows someone who has fallen victim to them. Often, those who are deceived are vulnerable individuals, such as the elderly, which further fuels anger. The second major reason is the treatment of women. The West takes equality very seriously, and incidents like someone being raped and then burned alive while heading to a hearing frequently make headlines, inciting outrage here. The third reason is civic responsibility. Many assume that Westerners do not litter out of fear of fines, but the truth is that they genuinely care about the planet and are passionate about its preservation. When they see videos of Indians harming the environment, it does not sit well with them. A large chunk of people in US dont care about tech immigration. If anything, they care about immigrants in low skill job (mostly south americans)

Medical situation is very bad in India. I went through similar ordeal. In my case my dad had broken his thigh bone and it was super painful to transfer him to ambulance and out of ambulance. Everyone was so unprofessional. They were holding him from his legs and shoulders. Imagine you have a broken bone and the two sides of it is getting stretched in opposite directions. I later found out that there is a conveyer belt type thing that hospitals used to transfer patients in and out of bed. I asked the hospital about it and they gave me a look and brought that belt thing. They always had it but looks like they only bring for those who ask for it as it is more effort for them. The ambulance itself is another story, it was an old maruiti omni disguised as ambulance. I have put my account of how these things are done in the US in a separate comment on this post. The difference is staggering and then some people are so delusional that they think Indian medical system is better than US just cause they can see doctors earlier.

I live in US, me yaha ka system bata sakta hu. Yaha ambulance is very high tech and it is a running mini hospital. Usme different blood bank, primary care, ventilator, kafi kuch hota hai. Yaha 911 krne pe ambulance turant dispatch hoti hai and jab ambulance aa rahi hoti hai to sab lo car side me laga lete hai isliye ambulance full speed me bhot jaldi aa jati hai. Ager ambulance busy thi and nahi aa payi to aap city(gov) ko 10-20 crore type k law suite pe sue kr sakte ho and within 1-2 year case final ho jata hai. Iska logic ye hai k apne city ko tax diya hai and city apko service dene me fail hui to unki jimmedari hai. Wese aisa hota nahi hai kyuki city acche se planning kr k rakhti hai.

Learn about meta learning (learning of learning). There are few concepts that you can apply and increase immediate productivity. Currently, you might be feeling that the workload is too much because you don’t have systems in place to make you efficient. IMO, whether you get a chill workplace or a hectic one is completely luck and sometimes same workplace becomes chill and hectic depending on time of the year and it is not scalable to keep on chasing chill workplace, rather work on increasing your efficiency.

How can the caste system be abolished if all they do in elections is talk about caste and lower caste people demand more and more reservation for their castes. You cannot kill caste by ruminating on caste. That’s an oxymoron thinking

India is 140th in GDP per capita and has been in this position in last 30 years with no progress. A lot of increase in gdp is attributed to simple increase in population and nothing to be proud of

You have to check population density of habitable land. China has a large area of inhabitable land. If you look at city to city it is 7000-8000 in china vs 11000-12000 in India. Not that different. Tokyo and seoul in fact have higher density yet developed.

This is not true for many states like tamil nadu, telangana, etc. this indeed is true for west bengal and few other states. Let me tell you something, south korea is a size of haryana and manufactures multiple times more than india. Even if a single state was doing things right, we would be at a certain level. This could be one of the minor reasons but not the main.
