Indian Economy

[shade2]

Another propaganda article about muh inequality from British bhosda corporation.

India: A billion people have no real money to spend, says report

India's population is 1.4 billion but its consuming class is only 140 million, or about as big as Mexico.

Every developing country goes through this phase,
Housing thing is more urban management issue than wealthy issue, there are still fuckton of places to build affordable housing.

It's a shill article to benefit the Chongs + chorgress/liberal narratives of "rich getting richer, poor getting poorer"

Bet you could make the same argument for China in 2008 when there were a similar sized economy lol.

Can't this be explained by simple per capita income basis why release a whole ass article about this

It's a propaganda article made to drive the narrative I have mentioned + benefit to the chongs.
They are not looking into good-faith explanations.

Also indeed many such articles were made about China also in 2008 thereabouts, including about Air Quality of Beijing and "minority oppression" of Tibetans.

Another raid on BBC needed.

Also, rubbish data. Read up the national household expenditure survey to get the true picture.

Anyway, I suspect this new 'report' is based on the fraud paper published by the condom fail turned international abomination known as Thomas Piketty so there is that. Sorry, I won't mince my words here.

Either way, no point outraging here. Those who are active on xitter can e-lynch the authors. The combinatiom of state backed harassment and mass e-lynching campaigns at regular intervals is the ultimate cure for atrocity/poverty porn.

not a survey, it was an oped type of research paper.

Cracking the Code: Emerging Monetization Strategies for Digital Businesses in India 2

For those of us who are in the business of observing the Indian consumer, Blume’s Indus Valley Report is the perfect starting point.

nah, this was written as a market survey to assist startups in figuring out their target customer base.
noticed this paper when @shuturmurg posted a slide from this paper a few days ago in this thread.

Interestingly the same comment was observed here where the user said the same exact line. Where our tier 1 customer base was as big as Mexico consume class, you reckon bbc writers frequent this website

internalisation of western gaze is a better explanation. when someone internalises "western gaze" they tend to echo gora talking points.

Damn, I was expecting an academic paper at least. Even some op-ed written by Kaushik Basu, Amartya Sen et al would do.....


Do these guys pick up anything and everything to peddle their agenda?

I think it is more of the internalization of W*stern funds in their bank account but ye bhi valid point hai.
Sepoys need to have a certain ((( mindset ))) to be recruited after all, not any random guy can be a deceitful think-tankist, academic or patrakar.

An interesting data point would be how big this consumer class has grown since the liberalisation.

Its not this website. Its a report by Blume research, a very respected research group, whose reports are primarily used by international businesses for planning their international investment strategies.

BBC has their own narrative to run, so they will interpret it as whatever suits their agenda.

But the real interpretation here is as someone posted earlier, is that we have been unable to attract mass low end manufacturing, like clothing, footwear, furniture and house hold items manufacturing.

That's whats causing income inequality, as people with no college education don't have a way to move out of unproductive agriculture into industry, hence their incomes are not rising.

On the other hand people with good college education are benefitting from india's growing services exports due to more and more GCC's (global capability centers) moving into India and also India moving up services value chain.

That's the true story, but lefty and BBC types will do randi rona of Adani/Ambani and asking for more welfare. That's not the solution and sadly our opposition (Rahul) is a moron and is completely surrounded by Commie advisors (Kanhaiya/Jean Dreze types), hence won't raise any of these issues. Infact they will try and derail any reform (labour or land reform) that Mudi tries to bring.
