A reckoning is coming, but for tech, not India.
I have actually lived in India. I experienced a lot of what the author talks about with regard to corruption, the culture of corruption, the dirtiness and how the cities are jam packed beyond imagination, there's a culture of degradation of those viewed as lesser than you. But in my experience it's not an honorless society devoid of all virtue and all that like the speaker said. Many people do have a sense of real justice there and do want those aspects of the society to be changed, I could tell you stories that would make you weep with joy. I think the speaker is overly cynical about the state of India socially.
I am an Indian currently living in India but have also lived in the US for a long time. Even with that knowledge i would never use such inflammatory language to describe the ills of either country. The person has an hateful agenda not meaningful to solving any problems and hence should not be tolerated nor given any publicity.
Nobody is trying to do "thought control" here. The point is that some subjects should be approached properly and respectfully in order to have some sort of a discussion else it is merely rabble-rousing for the peanut gallery.
