Australia too. It's saddening to see human potential wasted on menial labour.

I used to cringe at Punjabi pop music in the 90-2010s, my friends from NCR and Punjab used to almost take offence. The themes of those songs were Whiskey, European cars and fashion brands, American gun culture and even the "emotional/sad songs" had sets and architecture that looked for lack of a better phrase "European Mahal". The same mfs couldn't listen to Carnatic or folk music from other states that I loved, and mock my jazz/metal/classic rock preference. 😂

 @LovepreetSingh-vx4hi true but Punjab and Haryana took the lead.

@LovepreetSingh-vx4hi last time I checked, Punjab was overrepresented. Are you contending with the factuality of this statement?

@Delhi_Guy they don't need to, India is a a republican democracy not a pure democracy. You can never convince someone to disincentivise your sector or reduce funding or privatise. The 1991 reforms were met with wide protests as IMF imposed the condition to reduce subsidies. It's only in the next decade that people saw the positives. 38-43% of India toils for 18% of the GDP. Most of them are aged below 25. There are no agricultural superpowers in the world. Argentina has been trying to do exactly that for 200 years.

Keep singing "India is the land of villages" and this is what you get. Such a disgrace and disservice to its youth.

@LovepreetSingh-vx4hi I despise that approach but at the same time it was undeniable that the Khalistani network was operationalised. It may have constituted less than 10% of the protest but it was in the mix. I sincerely wish for a revival in Punjabi economy and hope you realise it is not going to be found in villages and farming. Industrialisation is not a parallel progress, it comes at the cost of disincentivising agriculture be it water supply, labour markets, subsidies or land ownership models.

@rajx7120 well put. Some geniuses don't realise that the service sector is a byproduct of second/third order problems/questions created by manufacturing and industrialisation. Then they wonder why Indians can only innovate abroad and conclude that it's because of Hindu rate of growth, Indian culture, caste, lack of English, greed of the business class, population, low trust society and any other self deprecating narratives.

@hotfun07 lefties and feudalism ruined your state. It's honestly saddening. A lot of the same people I was in touch with are lost in the morass of conspiracy theories from corporate Gujju takeover, they hate Sikhi and new Delhi colonialism. If it is any solace, you are no different. My state Karnataka is headed down the same path. Free bus rides to women it seems. Could have built a desalination sector with 60k crores in the 3rd most desertified state but nope. Feel good feudal policies rules are the priority. Ugh.
