Vietnam is actually very attractive, since it also has a FTA with India. It's in the middle of the Asian Tigers and China, and is also not subject to the colonial 'english-only' education system that is ravaging India and causing large-scale unemployment.

#22Vietnam is actually very attractive, since it also has a FTA with India. It's in the middle of the Asian Tigers and China, and is also not subject to the colonial 'english-only' education system that is ravaging India and causing large-scale unemployment.
It also has a FTA with the EU.
"and is also not subject to the colonial 'english-only' education system that is ravaging India and causing large-scale unemployment."
Why should this be a problem?

I'm sorry, how exactly is the education system in India causing large-scale unemployment? Citations needed.

I was interested to learn more about this too and found this article:

Like most articles on the topic, it misses the point. The education system in India is broken indeed; broken to the point that the _language of instruction is more or less irrelevant_. The problems lie elsewhere. I'd love to expand further, but (a) this would deviate from the topic of the thread, and (b) would take much more time and space. Another time, another place, perhaps.

#26I would rather see companies leave because of the concentration camps
This has become absolute reflex and is therefore off topic here. So has the "but Saudi Arabia" response. This is not a site for incessant repetition. If that's what you guys want to do, there are other places on the internet to do it. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
If that wasn't so utterly arbitrarily enforced it would pass the smell test.

> _language of instruction is more or less irrelevant_.
Since it is 'irrelevant', perhaps the colonial state can stop sapping our taxes to fund 'english-only' universities, and instead educate and 'skill' the 90 % (instead of teaching them broken english). It's insane that being pro-British empire is a stance that is even morally justified in a nation of 1 billion.
It's not at all surprising that India's socio-economic indicators are worse even compared to Africa. How would it not be, when the state sucks the blood of the non-elite basically to create an endless supply of white-collar labour for English-speaking nations.

Rather than a 'caste-system', the bigger factor in determining economic success in India is linguistic ability. Even the supreme-courts in India won't hear anything in a language other than English. It's quite insane TBH.

I would hope that Africa would be, too, but it seems like that is a hope for the future.
