Yes conveniently ignore that Coronavirus shut down vast sums of Indian manufacturing and export potential which returned for the subsequent years after, and instead use this opportunity to squeeze in yet another reference to the Ukraine war. As if numerous subs for discussing that topic don't already exist.

You know what's not understandable, how most of Europe doesn't support Armenia and keeps funding Azerbaijani blood gas. There's an inconvenient truth for you to think about. Or not, because it goes against your narrative.

Isn't income tax limited to only the top ~3-5% of Indian earners? Aren't subsidies given to farmers regularly, in an antiquated practice that many say, actually places too much power in the hands of the producers.

"At the heart of the dispute lies the subsidy system that the government, economists and even many farmers agree is broken."

That means less people to take care off, and less mouths to feed. Yet they still head to the IMF for bailouts more often than India does?

>Sri Lanka is indeed more developed in term of quality of life. Acute food shortage now won’t change the fact that many many Indians still suffer from poverty and hunger.

Isn't there some irony that a much more developed country needs donations from one of the most hungry country on the planet? Even more irony that unbelievably deprived country agreed and provided aid.

Isn't a bit weird that if supposedly, India has far worse hunger than its neighbour's, that India would be donating to them?

I think Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka all are asking to be bailed out while India donating something like $4.5 billion. Pretty weird for a country that's apparently 107th in hunger to donate so much to a country thats ~65th in hunger. Raises many questions about these rankings, or at least, it should be raising many eyebrows on the methodology (or lack thereof).
