I live close (relatively) to Calcutta in the state of Jharkhand. It's far from the glamor of a tourist city in rajasthan.
Poverty is still an issue and it may well be worse than Cambodia. The (dis)advantage India has is that economic growth happens organically here. In the 3 weeks I've been back, women entrepreneurs have given me pamphlets for their at-home beauty treatment visits to hand over to my mother. If this were more organized, some VC somewhere would have converted this into a chain of stylists making home visits.
Anyway, thanks for the conversation. My personal goal is to see people/myself as they are.
