You wasted $Millions of tax-payer dollars trying to murder Prime Minister Nehru in cold blood for
Declaring Neutrality While Non-White and then you have the gall to laugh at their literacy rate?
You levied 4 decades of economic and financial sanctions on India for
Declaring Neutrality While Non-White and for having a nuclear energy program and a nuclear weapons program, and then criticize them for their literacy rate?

There's 1 Billion of them.....750 Million are literate. If the US population was 1 Billion right now, what do you think the literacy rate would be?
And don't forget that thanks to the Wonderful Christian policies of Britain and the US that India is still 3rd World.

None of those things have anything to do with education.
Those kids will come to America and take your jobs.....because they are
better educated...even though they don't have carpeting and central heat/air and toilets and soap dispensers and cable-TV and computers.

Okay, fair enough.
India is a federal republic.....oh, that's right, you can't discern the differences between nations, nation-States, Dual-States and Countries, much less federal republics.
Anyway just like the US, India is a country -- not a nation -- and has States.
Like the US, India has both government schools and private schools.
The enrollment in private schools is heavily based on the State itself. The average enrollment in private schools is 28% for all of India. However, averages are totally freaking meaningless, but in this case the average is also the median. Assam has a private school enrollment of 6%, while Punjab has the highest rate at 52%
The most expensive private schools in India are in Himachal Pradesh: $106 per year tuition.
The cheapest private schools are in Assam: $28 per year tuition.
The average private school tuition for all 23 Indian States is $59 annual tuition.
Just like the US, the Cost-of-Living is not uniform....it varies widely. I have no data on that, but the point is that $28 Assam Dollars might be equivalent to $106 Pradesh Dollars in the exact same way that $54,000 Cincinnati Dollars equals $100,000 White Plains (NJ) Dollars.
Accordingly, private school tuition of $5,400 in Cincinnati equals $10,000 in White Plains, but that is clearly Private Education Inequality.
The Liberal Utopian solution for that is a one-size-fits-all-Pol-Pot program taxing the snot out of Americans to give them $8,000 for private tuition.
The new Private Education Equality now has families in Cincinnati getting $8,000 tax-payer dollars and being enriched at tax-payer expense making a profit of $2,600 while families in White Plains get jerked around by Liberals twice: once being raped by taxes, and the other being shorted $2,000 (since $10,000 - $8,000 = $2,000).
Before people get stupid and starting tossing education spending figures around, know that such comparisons are worthless and dumb.
One of the thing Liberals are too dumb to understand is that it is never the amount of money you spend, rather it is
how you spend that money. In the US, education money goes to swanky buildings and administrative salaries -- and both are drags on education -- and not to teachers and teaching time.

Just think if Liberals hadn't destroyed the public education system, you would have started the transition to your 5th Level R&D Economy in the mid-1990s, and nobody would give a damn about the loss of manufacturing jobs, since plenty of good-paying R&D jobs would be available.
Liberal Logic...it's what destroys economies....
