The insinuation here is that Kenya is poor, but Kenya is fairly well off. What we are seeing around the world is a global rise in living standards which is great.
India's GDP Per capita numbers are highly thrown off by how cheap it is and how young it is.
That being said, Indian GDP PPP per capita is 12k, while Kenya is at 7.5k, so about 66% larger than Kenya
People like to mention GDP per capita with India as if it's some kind of flex. Indian GDP per capita by PPP is not the highest in the world, but fairly typical for a developing country and it has a high growth rate.

- anon291 1y agoIndia's growth rate is higher, and it has more stable family formation than those countries. Regarding 'anti-muslim' sentiment... This is a tired trope. Muslims get special privileges in India that no other country gives them. Taking those away is not anti Muslim. I'm from a minority community in India myself (Christian). While it's not the greatest situation it's helluva lot better than other countries in the region. Phillipines has similar issues with Islamic terrorism and takes similar stances to India but manages to fly under the rug somehow.
