#IndianDiaspora
"People of Indian ancestry in Australia number more than 780,000 – an increase of almost 165,000 since 2016. As migrant groups go, Indians have leapfrogged the Chinese and now sit second only to the British." smh.com.au/national/educa…

"They’re highly educated, too: 63 per cent of Indians here had a bachelor’s degree or above in 2016 (the most recent figures, and compared with an Australian-born number of 24 per cent)."

Apoorvanand's article is less about Kavitha Krishnan & more about the collapse of faith in Marxism itself.

Yet even with the clear collapse of Communism & its evils fully exposed, there is no desire to call a spade, a spade.

Forget the collapse of the Soviet Union, the state of Cuba or the travails of Venezuela... China is such a stunning example of Communism's failure.

A Communist dictatorship under Mao, takes a 180° turn to capitalism under Deng.

Not a democratic capitalism which works in fits & starts, somewhat responsive to the warring claims of its citizens.

In China it is a ferociously organised dictatorship under the one party CCP, which oppressively and dictatorially pushes relentless capitalist
