And why harp on the politics of India (a completely different culture, different history, different everything)? How is that relevant here? 

Why harp on India? Pick any country with more poverty and I would still say the same thing. The point is I hate labels and isms, we ultimately are the same species, our political labels, religions and even business models are nothing more than excuses to make groups and set  up social pecking orders.

We may think the poverty elsewhere in the world does not affect us, but rich and poor, friend and fo alike all still live on the same rock. India's poverty should matter to the world as much as Afghanistan or South America or Africa. 

If you have not, I'd google Sagan's Pale Blue Dot speech, and listen to it.

That may be the most belated straw man I've ever read  Tongue
