Add to that compulsive fake news and social media disinformation, erosion of institutions by foisting sub-standard political appointees, total callousness about the consequences of military belligerence (even nuclear war) and undermining of democracy by belief in strongman rule.
It is difficult for someone who has lived in big cities all their life to understand what things really are like in the country. Whenever I live in India, I usually stay in Delhi, Bangalore or Kolkata. Sometimes I end up going to Jharkhand or larger NCR and it is only then that I see the real face of India. And it doesn't look good.
