Why Is India Always Called “Second Tier”? Prompt reply by @AshwiniVaishnaw
Funny how India is always labelled “second tier,” “emerging,” or “almost there” no matter the sector. When we supply talent, we’re a back office. When we scale tech to hundreds of millions, it’s “informal.” When we build AI differently, it’s suddenly “second class.” These labels aren’t neutral assessments, they’re comfort words for institutions like the IMF that still measure the world through old hierarchies. The problem isn’t where India stands it’s who gets to define the tiers.

Kalli Purie of India Today had no answer, She didn’t know how to defend Modi.
Must Watch.
