Who's not speed running that right now? I can't really fault India in particular when it's nearly universal.

You said it yourself, nearly, so it's not something written in stone.

I can fault India (and, in particular, Modi) for repeating the same mistake all other western developed countries made 40 years before, yes.

  • You mean are making right now? Also not just western developed countries, unless you count Russia, China, Japan, etc. as western.

    • Oops, I was a little too implicit.

      made 40 years... before they (India) started developing.

      Western countries were at the forefront of this already in the 80s. India, starting to develop much later, had a big time buffer to learn from that and at least attempt to avoid it.
