Extreme competition, limited opportunity and rigid social hierarchy.
- gaius 18y agoIt is 40x harder to get into IIT than it is MIT, and they've still not sorted their caste system. I can't understand why there isn't more outrage about that in the West; it's worse than Apartheid ever was.
- luckystrike 18y agothey've still not sorted their caste system The trouble is that it is too sorted. :-). But on a serious note, economic development on the whole can help a long way in removing social evils as well. Some things might appear simple and logical to improve, but it ain't easy given the 'diversity' (and number!) of people in our country.
