Ah… my OP post was just musing about how Cecas can be divided and conquered. If your client or boss is from North, standby Tamil jokes. If from South, standby Sikh jokes. If you have crowd from North and South, standby Paki-Mudslime jokes. It is ok to be in the right camp becoz together, you can WHOLESALE

Stymying the emergence of a global middle class in India.

In 1980, neither China nor India had much representation in the “global middle class” — people who neither belong to the bottom half of the income distribution nor rank among the top 10% worldwide. Almost a half-century later, things have changed — but in very different ways. China now accounts for a sizable share of the more affluent middle-income earners, while India seems to have faded in relative importance.
This finding, nestled in the annual World Inequality Report, is a puzzle. After all, the only two countries with billion-plus populations are both believed to have done well by embracing capitalism and opening their economies after the collapse of the Soviet Union. China became the factory to the world; India became its back office. So why should the outcomes for their citizens be so different?
