This is a common pattern with all articles about India. The west really likes to talk about how shitty conditions are here. The theme is to take a one-off incident and then exaggerate and generalize it so much that it must look like the norm. Then talk about about evil rich, selfish middle class and super poor farmers.

And then yes your usual dowry, caste system issues thrown here and there.

And those who leave India to settle else where too, find these topics indulging. It gives all them all the reasons in the world why they were right to leave the country.

The conditions are really shitty here. Even other south-asian countries like Vietnam and Thailand are doing so much better in almost everything. If you don't think India is one of the most pathetic countries in the world, a little travel will change that.
