India is an ancient civilization, largely static, with strong suppression of dominance expression and aggression, with a unique group strategy dependent upon a hyper adaptive mythology that provides a role, success criteria, and status for different classes and even different subclasses within different regions – an on top of it, india was a british colony long enough to develop elites who could and do practice rule of law. India is not an example for others to follow other than if you begin with rule of law, and NOT democracy, you can eventually build democratic institutions if you have a fairly homogeneous gene pool and culture – at least religion.

Most of the rest of the world other than east asia, and europe is still decidedly tribal and lacks india’s, europe’s and east asia’s cultural and institutional advantages. Especially islam which is frozen in time in the seventh century, familial, tribal, low trust, and hostile to learning. Oddly enough, christianity is actually working in subsaharan africa. Islam is a cancer.
