#3 There are few jobs to come home to though. While Communists' policies have led to a literacy rate is more than 90%...

Not all that impressive Ms. Periwinkle, considering the literacy is in Hindi only. The Commies stopped English language instruction in the school systems in areas they controlled.

In other parts of India the schools teach Hindi and English, and any Indian family wealthy enough to afford it, send their children to private schools...a great many of them are run by the Jesuits.
