9. Enemies
India’s enemies have a lot to
with India by itself. Enemies to
India are like their poverty rates,
“low literacy”, the gap that gets
wider within the rich and poor
in India. India doesn’t have
Pakistan as an enemy because
they don’t want enemies, or
terrorism. If India took care of
the “corruption/corrupt
politicians” and all the other
enemies I’ve mentioned; India
could be one of the most
developed nations on earth.
