throay423432··on Apple supplier Foxconn to invest $1B in India, sources say
These sentiments are based on a 'scientific' world average IQ score; India is at 82 while China is at 105. I think most popularly, these were used by the White supremacist, Stephen Molyneux to justify the colonization of both India and Africa; it shouldn't be surprising to see it used in other dick-measurement... ahem 'eugenics' contests.

I understand it is 'understood' that India is typically placed higher than Africa in the hierarchy of countries, owing to the success of their emigres.

However, in reality, barring these colonial era 'Macaulay's children' (ala ICS officers who swore by the Queen} India and Africa actually have very similar development indicators.

Unless, India sorts out its colonized education system, which ultimately is geared more towards shipping labor off to other countries, and focuses on policy reforms to make industrialization sustainable without paying politicians hundreds of millions in bribes, there's actually a good chance that it'll fall behind Africa as well.
