You don't understand what you have taken for granted. In the name of hindu religion, citing the vedas education has been denied to all non-brahmins(other than priestly caste) until Britishers arrived. This is the reason majority of the indians are first college goers in their family. For us what you described is the definition of heaven.

I totally understand this. I am not saying we (as Indians of xyz caste) haven't done anything wrong in the past.

It's like all the education was only for earning $$ not expanding the mindset (realising your privilege, giving back and at the very least be nice to people agnostic of their race/gender/nationality etc).
