Yeaaaah, no. I think the reason most of india’s youth is on their phones is because they just have no real prospects in life and the phone is an escape mechanism.


Woah. That's a huge generalization. Why do you think all Indian youth have no prospects?


> Woah. That's a huge generalization.

What do you think the letter does?

But I will agree with fpip. India has so many fundamental problems that will require serious government and public change.

My state will not have enough drinking water for 30%+ of its population by 2030. Prices of food will go up as ground water becomes non existent. How do you think that will impact people?

Educated people are fleeing the country. They are willing to take any jobs to get out before it's too late.


It's true.

Too much population, too little work. Everyone has just stared coming online. They are discovering infinite porn, TikTok and youtube.


It is a huge generalization, but nowhere did I use ‘all’. The closes I came was saying ‘most’.

If everyone tries to be an engineer or doctor because that’s the only way to have prospects in life, something is broken.
