Sure. And I admire the commitment of the man at the start. But I'm certainly not going to "guilt-trip" - or try to blame - a lot of poor Indians, who are desperate to climb out of their grinding poverty. 😏 And some of whom are maybe a bit less poor than their parents. But it will be interesting to see how they develop solar power and so on as things progress. Someone on left-wing Twitter, I think it was Peter Stefanovich? Was saying the other day that China was doing very well in these respects: better than many Western nations.

@mathmagic9137 Now listen, you, whoever you are! 😏 I haven't got time for a lot of politically-correct rubbish (especially not, since I still have a backlog of excellent YouTube Halloween videos and scary stories to get through! 🙂) It seems to me, that a lot of people get "offended", by other people simply stating the plain truth. I don't know where you got your statistics from, but I do know that governments often use statistics to lie ..😏 What I also know is that: a) India has no social security, whereas European countries like the UK do. b) India has no national health service, whereas the UK and other European countries do. c) "9% poverty"? Compared to what? But again, I do know that there are millions of poor landless peasants in India. There are also millions living in abject poverty in slums, which are really just shanty towns. There are farmers, some of whom even own their own land, who are committing suicide because they can't make ends meet, or pay back loans, and this has been going on for decades. 😏 I'm.not an expert on the exact causes, but there are a thousand documentaries on and around the subject. I do know that there was a major small farmers' revolt recently in India, which was basically crushed by the government. UK media didn't give it a lot of attention, but the former Labour Party leader, and ex-leader of the Opposition in the UK, Jeremy Corbyn and his Peace And Justice Project did, and so on...

@e Yeah, yeah. But in Western countries we have SECULAR law, mate: which is binding on people of ALL religions.

@madiam4u Stop trolling. I am well aware that legally, India is a secult country. Doesn't prevent some people from trying to promote Muslim extremism, Hindu extremism, or whatever.
