read indian unbound from G. Das. He gave a reason for poor manufacturing performance of India which I completely agree with. Indian caste system put brahmins at top and they were associated with brain work not hand work. slowly over time, indians took pride in brain work and despised anything done with hands. Thats why we cleaning, manufacturing everything is considered inferior to sitting and earning money. In Japan, school children are taught to clean their schools, can you imagine this in India? western ppl do mechanical jobs from childhood, but we think that dirties out hand and want children to learning coding.

ppl might not agree but how a society is, is deeply affected by its structure.
