>>11007297Because, imagine you have a landmass 3 times smaller than the US, but with 4 times the population, and that population is about half the absolute worst, backwater shit you can imagine. Think redneck country on steroids.And you've basically got India, that's why they can build aircraft carriers but have people in rural areas that are suspicious of toilets. There's a reason that shit like the Cultural Revolution happened in China, it was in no small part an effort to beat superstitions out of people. And even then it still persists somewhat. Imagine if India had had a similar event where they militantly purged for example, the entire caste system, anyone found to be following it brutally beaten or killed, etc.
