@HistoryRage @robert_lyman @PaulBavill @KyleGHistory I mean, Indians themselves don't give it credit.

8. What elements in this history have persisted into the India of the present? Without doubt, sources of growth are different in 2022 compared with a century ago. But there may be more persistence in sources of inequality. Do we agree?

4. Whereas total income grew slowly (because farm income changed little), population grew faster from 1921. Why did people start living longer even as incomes did not rise much?
