My point is India, a very wealthy country with pockets of misery that are not due to the lack of technological advance or social development, but that are due to the evil nature of humans.

Not evil nature, capitalism
India was a socialist country until around the collapse of the USSR when it became insolvent and the International Monetary Fund (Western nations led by the US) did its usual "we'll give you a loan if open your market and become more capitalist like us or you can starve and die" which brought about the Indian economy of today, the good and bad.
For a more in depth look into the struggle of post colonial nations I recommend the book Why Nations Fail. It goes into how colonial powers (Britain in the case of India) left behind exclusionary institutions that screw over ordinary people and how, when freedom was attained at the end of WW2, these institutions have persisted to the present day. The difference being that local elites (those that acquiesced to colonial powers) now control them as they continue to have potentially harmful impacts.
Fuck Adani.
Thinking of that cookie chart showing what went wrong with baking. Countries with too much flour. Countries with not enough butter. Countries that were not baked long enough...
Yes, that was my feeling in India, too many humans, too much time
Meme template use:
4 out of 10. Mom isn’t labeled.
I have been thinking about this, it would actually also be "Overdeveloped Countries"!
"Developed Countries" aka USA and Europe like to talk about underdeveloped countries, they used them as examples and they are very patronizing about them, however they do not like talking about countries like the Scandinavians, where by comparison, THEY are the underdeveloped countries.
On the other hand there is countries like India, which feels like it has already gone through multiple cycles of development.
