Whole india doesnt need to be responsible for poverty in UP and bihar They are suffering due to their own deeds.

Please do not be harsh on those states, Hindi heart land was very well developed in the history. Well Pataliputra was very much developed to it's time. Due to foreign attacks and colonization entire India fell. Hindi belt developed nationality and revolted heavily in 1857, the revolt was brutally crushed and British never develop that part for 100 years. British developed south and western India relatively well. At the time of Independence UP was having just 10% literacy (now 70%), Kerala was having 40% literacy (now almost 100%). UP, Bihar fell into ditch (due to their own choice as you said) by electing mafia dons as Netas.

Unfortunately it's reality where added couple of pointers too. Now, for those who might start off with colonisation part, well, Most of India was colonized for Less than 100 Years while some parts of India more than 100 years. Indonesia and Philippines were Colonized Longest in Asia for about 400 to 500 Years by European Powers. Indian Kingdoms Colonised Parts of Sri Lanka, Central Asia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Brunei, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Philippines etc via Butuan, Cebu, Manila, Tondo, etc. Many of the Tagalog and Bisaya words including the word Rajah comes from Tamil and Sanskrit, 2 of India's Oldest Languages (though Tagalog and Bisaya have fusion with other languages too). Buddhism spread there which exists a lot in Southeast Asia due to Trade, Colonisation of Places and migration too. Indian kingdoms took a lot of wealth in those nations as well as changed their lifestyles too but Southeast Asia has been slowly picking up after about 400 to 500 years of European Colonisation, let alone colonisation from Indian powers that began during the 2nd half of the 1st Millennium. Indians knocked themselves out in last 77 years too especially stealing from each other and knocking themselves out which is the same in many of the Asian countries including Philippines. Philippines was expected to do well 60 to 70 years ago where at that time, it had much better Per Capita Incomes and Education System compared to most Asian Countries but fell apart where Philippines became a lower-middle-income country in 1976 while India became that in 2007. Both are expected to be upper-middle-income countries in 2030s or after where both face lots of challenges including Inequality. 21st Century also doesn't need a lot of labour. Automation started thousands of years ago where 1 of those technologies is the water wheel technology used in metallurgy, irrigation for agriculture and so on which even India had about 2000 years ago. Mass automation started couple of decades ago where 4th Industrial Revolution has about 100 Disruptive Technologies where there's a Periodic Table for Disruptive Technologies that came out about 5 to 6 years ago. AI is only 1 out of those 100 Disruptive Automated Technologies where Labour is needed less. 21st Century needs more entrepreneurship of integrated education of humanities, arts, social sciences, natural and formal sciences along with research knowledge of these integrated areas as well as skills in these integrated areas which is STREAM skills where 1 needs to be good with other activities too with education also that helps with integrated areas like photography or sports or debates and much more which helps with analytical side, critical and logical thinking side, technical side, strategic management side, creative and innovative sides and so much more. India, sorry to say, has 1 of the Highest Inequality in the World. Amongst Developed Nations, USA has the Highest Inequality (amongst developed nations) due to Following Capitalism a lot while the World's Highest Median Wealth with Lower Inequality goes to Nations like Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, Switzerland and many within Europe as They Focused on Capitalism Mixed with Welfare of Their Countries with Lower Inequality. Norway is a Commodity Based Economy though it is ranked within the World's Top 20 to 25 under Global Innovation Index Rankings but its Sovereign Fund is 1 of the World's Largest which Helps the People of Norway when Norway sells of its Commodities. That is why countries like Nordic Nations, Switzerland, Belgium, Australia, New Zealand, etc have Less Inequality, amongst World's Best for Median Wealth compared to even the US of A as they Mixed Capitalism with Welfare of People. Long way for Many Asian Nations to go like Most of South Asia where South Asia is the Worst Region within Asia, some parts of Southeast Asia including Philippines, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos as well as couple of other Asian countries including Yemen, North Korea and so on (Singapore is already a developed country with 1 of the world's highest per capita incomes along with Qatar and so on. Brunei is a high-income nation that isn't yet fully developed. Malaysia like China is on the border-line of being High-Income Countries which are Fully Developed. Thailand still has Higher Per Capita Incomes than Both Philippines and India even though Thailand is slowing down. Indonesia and Vietnam have Higher Per Capita Incomes than India. Even Philippines has Higher Per Capita Income than India though India could catch up to Philippine Per Capita Income within the next 15 years as India has Better Economy, Better Education System, Better Innovation Rankings under Global Innnovation Index Rankings compared to Philippines). But, Many Asian Countries especially within South Asia have a long way to go along of course with some parts of West Asia, Southeast Asia, East Asia, etc

It doesent make sense trying to grasp such a colossal complex topic in 8 minutes presenting income distribution and disparities in education only. Its a habit Europeans have. We still consider ourselves as the champions for equality and prosperous outcome for everybody outside the EU 😳 Its a part of our DNA. And yes, there are a LOT of problems in the EU. Much have to do with ordinary people experiencing relative poverty with rising costs and stagnant wages. Poverty is on the rise in the EU year after year. Capitalism a´la´U.S. style is rampant in the EU. Creating generations trapped with low wages , not able to start a life on your own like we have been pampered with for so long. The EU is stagnant for the young people. They are the FIRST generation that are worse of then their parents at the same age. And that has not happend since at least 200 years (except for ww1 and ww2) Capitalism is to blame , and it will harvest and suck the EU dry. Like every endgame of poorly regulated capitalism .

We showed it worked. We dident abolish inequality, but we made it possible for everyone to have a go regardless of your background and class. Yes. Its that simple. A nation with a strong class conscious division basically is a nation with unexplored talents.

I think that woman actually told u the main thing... Even if inequality has increased life of poor household has improved a lot. People coming out of poverty in huge numbers, that's what actually matters more than reducing money from the hands of rich. Poverty is our enemy, not wealth creator or wealth. Even richest 10% indians(10k/yr) are still poorer than most of poor(20-30k/yr) from developed countries. U should mention that too.

Equality does not always mean a society is prosperous. Neither does inequality mean society is doing badly. In the 1970s, Indian society was more equal in terms of income than today but that doesn't mean Indian society was prosperous back in the day. A developing society will always have income inequality because of rapid growth driven by certain sections of the economy.
