Indians happen to be some of the most overworked people on the planet. And it is making us really sick.
I wish this lady would stop celebrating it just because we were not taught to process our emotions like a normal human beings. Thankfully, therapy does exist here in India and really affordable too.
India is at the stage now that China was at 20 years ago when people were trying to take their lives jumping off Foxconn buildings due to being overworked.
Wage suppression and unemployment are major issues. Modi's economists have recognized the economy is at risk of underperforming due to inadequate demand (consumers not having the disposable income or time to consume goods and services).
They're trying to fix it with certain tax breaks but I hope the Indian people kick Modi to curb ultimately since he's spent most of his time stoking religious tensions, scapegoating minorities and giving kickbacks to Gujurati industrialists. He's a fascist.
India has much deeper issues than Modi. Arundathi Roy wrote that India needs a Dalit Revolution, without it no other revolution is possible in India. I agree with her.
A vast majority of politicians, bureaucrats and police work to maintain the status quo, in which a significant portion of population are oppressed, instead of solving actual problems. This needs to change.
And let's not forget about the deep-seated corruption at every level of government. Sure Modi needs to be kicked to the curb, but that's just the beginning. We need a deeper social revolution for India to really change.
