Not true. India's average education attainment is worse than that of Libya and even contemporary Iraq; unlike most countries there exist no path for prosperity via education for the majority of Indians, since it is a de-facto linguistic apartheid state. Its per-capita incomes too are lower than Libya, and on comparable terms with Iraq and Syria. This, achieved, in about 70 years of peace, without colonial blood-sucking. By every definition, India is a failed state. Some will try to wriggle away from this by claiming, education is not important, or that money is not important, or by pointing to the outsourcing businesses (which I hear are smaller than the Yoga industry in the US), but these are parochial status-quoists, or silly romantics. There far too many of the latter. The rape issue is complicated - the incidents are indeed ISIS like barbarity, from a civilization that has historically valued women (before the Islamic and Victorian invaders, and their now celebrated cruelty). The stats might show indeed that the numbers are smaller per-capita than developed nations (even after accounting for under-reporting), but for some reason those who commit rape tend to be extremely sadistic and cruel.
