Several? Those several African countries aren’t even black for the most part.

Human Development Index (HDI):

The HDI is a composite statistic of life expectancy, education, and per capita income indicators. As of the latest data:
• Mauritius: 0.802 (Very High Human Development)
• Seychelles: 0.796 (High Human Development)
• Algeria: 0.748 (High Human Development)
• Tunisia: 0.740 (High Human Development)
• Botswana: 0.735 (High Human Development)
• South Africa: 0.709 (High Human Development)
• India: 0.645 (Medium Human Development)

Source: List of African countries by Human Development Index

From this data, it’s evident that several African countries, including Botswana and South Africa, have higher HDI scores than India, indicating a higher average quality of life.

Life Expectancy:
• Botswana: 69.6 years
• South Africa: 64.1 years
• India: 70.8 years

Source: World Bank Data

India’s life expectancy is higher than South Africa’ and Botswanna

Gross National Income (GNI) per Capita (PPP):
• Botswana: $16,578
• South Africa: $12,999
• India: $6,680

Botswana's PPP has even increased since whenever this stat. came out, it's currently at 20000. I don't know of South Africa though.

"Give it another decade or so, and India will surge aged even more or pass those 2 countries in whatever development stats they might be ahead in".

Good, when the average Indian is doing better off than the average people from these countries, talk to me then; right now, you are saying total crap.

Wrong wrong. Only Seven African countries have comparable development stats to India. And most of those seven countries aren’t predominantly black. The 2 that are which is South Africa and Botswanna don’t even count because South Africa just has that development because of the whites, Indians and tiger Asians 😂. Botswanna being slightly higher is overrated because it’s a tiny country with just 2.6 million people, compared to India’s 1.4 billion. Managing development for such a small population is way easier, and Botswana’s economy depends heavily on diamonds, which isn’t sustainable long-term. India, despite its challenges, is lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty and building a diversified economy that impacts the world. Scale matters, and Botswana’s progress just doesn’t compare. India is the next China. Cope harder

Countries like Mauritius, Seychelles, Algeria, and Botswana do perform better than India in key areas like HDI and GDP per capita, largely because of smaller populations and focused resource allocation. That said, India’s progress is happening on a massive scale, so comparing it to smaller nations can be tricky. For example, while Botswana and Seychelles have better averages, India’s sheer size and diversity make its progress slower but far-reaching. North African countries like Algeria and Tunisia, with their Arab-Berber dominance, also showcase better living standards, but they too benefit from smaller populations and more centralized systems.

How does the average Botswanan and South African live better when they literally die at a younger age? Their life expectancy is lower than India 😂

Yeah, Botswana’s PPP per capita has gone up to around $20,000, which is impressive on the surface. But let’s be real—Botswana has a population of just 2.6 million, so managing its economy and development is way easier compared to a country like India with 1.4 billion people. Plus, Botswana’s economy leans heavily on diamonds, which is risky because it depends on global prices. If those prices drop, so does the economy.

India, on the other hand, has a much more diverse economy—IT, manufacturing, agriculture, you name it—so its growth is more balanced and sustainable. Sure, Botswana’s per capita numbers look better, but they don’t tell the whole story when you compare it to India’s scale and progress.

Derekmiles:
"Botswana and Namibia are doing well for their size, but they’re overrated when compared to a giant like India. Their economies rely on diamonds and minerals, their populations are tiny, and their progress isn’t scalable. India, on the other hand, is tackling challenges at a scale these countries can’t even imagine—and making real progress. While Botswana and Namibia might look better on some metrics now, India’s trajectory shows that it’s far ahead in the ways that matter most".

Then by that logic India is doing better than Estonia, Singapore, and many other small population Nations whose economy is excellent for its population... That is total outright delusion.

India has a population of 1.43 Billion people, that's their problem, not the problem of smaller populated Nations... A real progress of some Billions with a scale of 1.4 Billion people starts becoming underwhelming.

This is only what i will keep on telling you now, as far as the Standard of Living of the average citizen is not up to par to a few of these Sub-Saharan Nations, then bro, you are saying rubbish; when it actually becomes better, then any sane individual will actually listen to you... Like i told you before, the Citizens makes a country, not the other way around, they are the most important, and the average conditions of the Citizens will always be the most important criteria in scaling how well a Nation is actually doing.

I get what you’re saying, but comparing India to places like Singapore or Estonia just isn’t fair. These countries are tiny, highly urbanized, and much easier to manage. For example, Singapore is a city-state with about 6 million people—it’s basically one big city with advanced infrastructure, so of course, it’s doing well. Estonia has only 1.3 million people, which is smaller than most Indian neighborhoods.

Now, India’s scale—1.4 billion people—means progress takes longer and looks slower on paper, but the impact is massive. Lifting 400 million people out of poverty or building infrastructure for hundreds of millions is a monumental feat, even if it doesn’t translate to shiny per capita stats. Sure, India has a lot of catching up to do, but it’s moving mountains, not molehills like Singapore or Estonia. Scale matters, and progress at India’s size is a completely different ballgame.


A few sub Saharan African countries? It’s only 2. And I already said that SA doesn’t count because it was actually built by why whites and Asians. It’s only the white areas of South Africa that give an illusion as to how developed it is. Again, Botswana having slightly higher stats than India is overrated because it’s a tiny country with just 2.6 million people, compared to India’s 1.4 billion. Managing development for such a small population is way easier, and Botswana’s economy depends heavily on diamonds, which isn’t sustainable long-term. India, despite its challenges, is lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty and building a diversified economy that impacts the world. Scale matters, and Botswana’s progress just doesn’t compare.

I’ve already listed the 7 African countries with higher or comparable standards of living. Only 2 are sub Saharan. The other 5 aren’t.

And the scale and progress becomes underwhelming with its population, add all the variables. If the economy of a Nation of 1.4 Billion people isn't diversified, that Nation is heading to the gutters.

India having a ginormous population isn't the problem of Smaller Nation countries; if they can't improve the average living standards of their Country past those smaller Nation countries, then the smaller Nation countries are in every metric doing better... when they do accomplish that, then cool, the hype can begin per those Nations, but as they've not, that's their f*cking problem.

while ,India’s scale means progress can look slower compared to smaller nations, but it’s far from underwhelming. Bro Managing 1.4 billion people is not just about averages—it’s about the sheer impact. Lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty, providing electricity to nearly the entire population, and becoming a global hub for IT, pharma, and manufacturing are huge accomplishments, even if they don’t yet beat smaller nations like Estonia or Singapore in per capita stats.

Now with smaller nations: sure, their progress looks cleaner, but they don’t have the same challenges. Estonia’s population is 1.3 million—smaller than some neighborhoods in Mumbai. If Estonia has a great quality of life, that’s awesome, but scaling that to 1.4 billion people is a whole other beast. India’s diversified economy keeps it stable and growing, and its size is why it’s already shaping global trade and innovation.

Here’s the key difference: smaller nations can focus entirely on refining life for a few million people. India doesn’t just have to improve averages—it has to lift entire continents’ worth of people into better conditions. That kind of progress doesn’t happen overnight, but when it does, it’ll completely overshadow what small countries can achieve. India’s size isn’t an excuse—it’s just the context.

Very good, i love that you've stated this, since your original Uncle Tom rhetoric that started this African issue was "All African Nations are headed for destruction" when referencing India, the "No Sub-Saharan Nation is doing better than India", "The Black Man doesn't have a better society than India"... I'm glad all those have at least been debunked, when India actually starts doing better for its Citizens than those 2, and the others in the Carribean like the Bahamas, maybe we can start listening to your conversation again... Until then, shut up and go have a meal.

And by the way, the context of the 1.4 Billion people also tells any sane person that India being a global presence isn't spectacular... Maybe they should have made plans long ago not to overpopulate the entire country, maybe then their global presence would have started looking a lot more better.

No, I already debunked both examples. South Africa was not built by the black man. Whites control everything there.

With the Carribean, it’s the same thing as SA. Whites are the reason they have that development. None of this is the function of blacks. It’s hilarious because they are actually the best black societies out there yet there still trash 😂😂

Even the ones in the carribean with comparable stats to India aren’t predominantly black 😂 Bahamas and Barbados are the only ones that are black but that’s largely due to the British colonial influence 😂 the rest of the carribean nations with comparable stats to India like DR, Cuba etc are mixed race or white mostly 😂😂

Barbados, the Bahamas, and Jamaica having higher stats than India is overrated because they’re all small countries with populations under 3 million (Jamaica has about 2.8 million), compared to India’s 1.4 billion. Managing such small populations is way easier, and their economies lean heavily on tourism, remittances, and British-influenced systems they inherited. Sure, their GDP per capita and HDI look better, but they don’t have to deal with the same scale or complexity as India. India is lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty and building a massive, diversified economy, which makes these comparisons kind of pointless when you think about the context.

Black ‘success’ is only down to the white man’s systems.
How many times do I have to debunk you?
SA, Barbados, Bahamas and Jamaica are examples of white success. Find me an example of black success independently and come back to me. But the thing is you can’t and you know it 😂

There is no case of a successful black society. There never was and there never will be.

Barbados and the Bahamas having higher stats than India is just
because they’re tiny countries with populations under 400,000, compared to India’s 1.4 billion. Managing such small numbers is way easier, and their economies lean heavily on tourism and British-influenced systems they inherited. India, on the other hand, has to lift hundreds of millions of people out of poverty while managing a complex, diverse economy—it’s a completely different scale. Sure, their stats look good, but the context makes all the difference.

Black ‘success’ is only down to the white man’s systems.

Did this dude just say Botswana having slight higher stats., double the wage structure isn't slightly higher bro... You didn't debunk anything, you've just been saying rubbish rhetorics since; imagine someone actually trying to askew something that "A country whose Citizens have a worse standard of living than the other is still doing better"... Shut the crap, you didn't debunk shit, you've just kept on going about your Uncle Tom rhetoric. For example, the stats. says that the average Botswanan doctor on average earns about twice the average Indian Doctor, debunk that you fool with the Uncle Tom rhetoric.

Barbados became a sovereign Nation in 1966, it's been majorly controlled by Black people since then, it was just in a situation like Australia and Canada, which it choose to become its own Republic in 2022... A lot of Carribean Nations are like this, the White Man has majorly not done shit in those Nations for a long time Uncle Tom😂😂😂😚. Barbados Economic growth in fiscal 2024 has been 3.9% so far; like i said, shut up and go have a meal Uncle Tom.

[quote author=Derekmiles post=133295195][/quote]1. “Botswana’s stats are not slightly higher.”

You’re right—Botswana’s wage structure is better in some areas. For instance, doctors in Botswana earn more on average than their counterparts in India. But this isn’t the whole story:
• Scale: Botswana has 2.6 million people. Managing wages and living standards for such a small population is a completely different ballgame compared to 1.4 billion people in India. You can focus more resources per person when your population is tiny.
• Reliance on Diamonds: Botswana’s economy is heavily dependent on diamonds, which brings in revenue to support higher wages. India, on the other hand, has a diversified economy, and while wages may be lower in some fields, it’s not tied to a single volatile resource.

So yeah, Botswana’s wages are higher, but it’s not because they’re more advanced overall—it’s because they have fewer people to take care of and a diamond-based windfall that India doesn’t have.

2. “The Caribbean Nations’ Success Isn’t Largely British.”

Let’s break this down, especially for places like Barbados and other Caribbean nations.
• British Influence Was Huge: These nations inherited stable governance systems, legal frameworks, education systems, and infrastructure from the British colonial setup. For example, Barbados retained the Westminster parliamentary system, which has been the backbone of its political stability.
• Economic Focus on Tourism: The infrastructure developed during British rule laid the groundwork for the Caribbean nations’ focus on tourism, which is still their economic backbone. Most of their tourists come from former colonial powers like the UK and the US. So yeah, their success is still heavily tied to what the British set up.
• Commonwealth Connection: Even now, countries like Barbados, Jamaica, and the Bahamas benefit from being in the Commonwealth. This brings trade links, aid, and cultural exchanges that continue to boost their economies.
• Leadership After Independence: While these nations have been largely self-governed since independence, the systems and structures that enabled their success were British-made. Choosing to become republics (like Barbados did in 2022) doesn’t erase the fact that much of their early stability was built on colonial frameworks.

3. “The White Man Hasn’t Done Much Since Independence.”
Lies — while most Caribbean nations have been self-governing for decades. But that doesn’t mean the British influence just vanished. The foundations they left behind (legal systems, education, tourism-focused economies) are still what these nations rely on. Their success isn’t because they completely reinvented themselves—it’s because they built on what the British left. The British did the work.

[quote author=Derekmiles post=133295195][/quote]Now your just sounding like a typical FBA

Alright, let’s keep it simple and real:

The success of countries like Barbados, Jamaica, and the Bahamas is largely tied to the British foundation they inherited. The British left behind stable systems—parliamentary governance, legal frameworks, and infrastructure—that these nations still rely on. For example, Barbados uses a version of the British Westminster system, which has kept its politics stable and predictable, something a lot of post-colonial nations struggle with.

On top of that, the British emphasis on education gave these countries high literacy rates, and the use of English has been a huge advantage in global trade and tourism. Speaking of tourism, the British built ports, roads, and other infrastructure during colonial times that these nations later adapted to support their economies. Even now, much of their visitors and investments come from the UK, US, and Canada—countries they’re tied to through history and the Commonwealth. Continue calling me an uncle tom😂😅

• Leadership After Independence: While these nations have been largely self-governed since independence, the systems and structures that enabled their success were British-made. Choosing to become republics (like Barbados did in 2022) doesn’t erase the fact that much of their early stability was built on colonial frameworks.

3. “The White Man Hasn’t Done Much Since Independence.”
Lies — while most Caribbean nations have been self-governing for decades. But that doesn’t mean the British influence just vanished. The foundations they left behind (legal systems, education, tourism-focused economies) are still what these nations rely on. Their success isn’t because they completely reinvented themselves—it’s because they built on what the British left. The British did the work.

Alright, let’s keep it simple and real:

The success of countries like Barbados, Jamaica, and the Bahamas is largely tied to the British foundation they inherited. The British left behind stable systems—parliamentary governance, legal frameworks, and infrastructure—that these nations still rely on. For example, Barbados uses a version of the British Westminster system, which has kept its politics stable and predictable, something a lot of post-colonial nations struggle with.

On top of that, the British emphasis on education gave these countries high literacy rates, and the use of English has been a huge advantage in global trade and tourism. Speaking of tourism, the British built ports, roads, and other infrastructure during colonial times that these nations later adapted to support their economies. Even now, much of their visitors and investments come from the UK, US, and Canada—countries they’re tied to through history and the Commonwealth. Continue calling me an uncle tom😂😅

Like the White Man didn't leave basically all their colonies almost destitute after sucking the life out of them, go and read about the French and Burkina Faso... Read about the Haitian Century long payment for Freedom... What the Europeans left behind my ass.

1. “All colonies built on what Europeans left, so why single out Caribbean nations?”

Fair point—almost every colony started with what their colonizers left behind, but the context matters. Not all colonial legacies are the same:
• India’s case: The British systematically drained India’s wealth and left it in economic shambles. India didn’t inherit wealth or infrastructure meant to help it grow—it inherited railways to extract resources and a fractured society after partition.
• Caribbean nations’ case: Caribbean islands like Barbados inherited small populations, more focused infrastructure (for tourism or trade), and a ready-made parliamentary system that allowed for smoother transitions post-independence. That stability gave them a better starting point compared to countries like India or Haiti.

Key difference: India grew through self-reliance, building its industries, education systems, and economy almost from scratch. The Caribbean nations leaned more heavily on what was left behind—especially in governance and tourism.

2. “The Europeans left all their colonies destitute.”

True in cases like Burkina Faso or Haiti—many colonies were completely gutted. But again, not all colonial legacies were equally damaging:
• India: The British siphoned off trillions and caused major famines. The colonial setup wasn’t designed to leave India thriving—it was built to extract resources. India had to rebuild practically everything from scratch.
• Haiti: Haiti was crushed by a century of reparations for daring to fight for freedom. No infrastructure, no foreign allies, and constant meddling—it’s no wonder the country struggled.
• Barbados and other Caribbean nations: These nations, while colonized and exploited, inherited smaller populations and focused economies, which were easier to manage post-independence. The British didn’t leave them destitute—they left functional political systems and trade ties that those nations were able to build on.

Key point: Caribbean nations had a much better setup for stability compared to places like Haiti or even India, which is why they had a smoother post-independence path.

3. “India grew far more independently than any Caribbean nation.”

This is absolutely true, and here’s why:
• Industrial Development: India didn’t have the luxury of relying on tourism or inherited trade systems. It had to industrialize from the ground up—becoming a global leader in IT, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing through self-reliance.
• Scale: Managing 1.4 billion people while pulling hundreds of millions out of poverty is on a completely different level than managing populations of a few hundred thousand in the Caribbean.
• Economic Diversity: While Caribbean nations still rely heavily on tourism and remittances, India has a diversified economy—from agriculture to advanced industries. That diversity was built through Indian ingenuity, not leftover colonial frameworks

India’s growth stands apart because it rebuilt itself after being drained to the bone. Carribean nations is almost entirely due to the British.

• Overall Crime Rate: 445.9 incidents per 100,000 people in 2021, down from 487.8 in 2020. 

Caribbean Nations:

• Saint Lucia: Homicide rate of 36.7 per 100,000 in 2022. 

Key Points:
• Higher Violent Crime in the Caribbean: Caribbean nations like Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago have homicide rates exceeding 30 per 100,000 people, substantially higher than India’s rate of under 3 per 100,000.
• Overall Crime Rates: While India’s overall crime rate is around 445.9 per 100,000 people, specific data for overall crime rates in Caribbean nations is less readily available. However, the significantly higher homicide rates suggest a greater prevalence of violent crime in the C

1. “You make it sound like Haiti isn’t a Caribbean nation.”

Haiti is 100% a Caribbean nation, no question. But its situation is completely different from places like Barbados or the Bahamas. Haiti was wrecked by paying reparations to France, constant interference, and a lack of resources post-independence. Barbados, on the other hand, inherited stable systems like a functioning government, better infrastructure, and education systems that made their transition after independence way smoother.

Key Point: Haiti shows how brutal colonialism could be, but not all Caribbean nations were left in the same state. Barbados had a way better starting point.

2. “You’re saying the Black man can’t do anything, and it’s all the White man’s work.”

That’s not what I’m saying at all. Black leadership in places like Barbados has done an incredible job running the country since independence. But the reality is, Barbados didn’t have to start from scratch like India or Haiti did. They inherited things like:
• A stable parliamentary system.
• An education system that already had high literacy rates.
• Infrastructure like ports and roads that they adapted for tourism.

This doesn’t mean Barbados hasn’t built on those things—it absolutely has! But you can’t ignore that their early stability was because of what was left behind.

Key Point: Recognizing that Barbados started off in a better position isn’t disrespecting its leaders—it’s just acknowledging the historical facts.

3. “You think Barbados hasn’t progressed since the 60s?”

Of course it has! But let’s not pretend its success today is completely disconnected from the systems and stability it inherited. Barbados didn’t have to rebuild its government or economy from the ground up like Haiti or India. Instead, it got a solid foundation that allowed it to focus on things like tourism and international business.

Key Point: Barbados has advanced a lot, but it had the luxury of starting from a more stable place than other colonies did.

4. “India’s diversified economy isn’t impressive because of its population.”

This misses the point. India’s economy is impressive because of what it achieved despite its challenges:
• After independence, India had almost nothing—it had to rebuild an industrial base, trade systems, and infrastructure from scratch.
• Managing 1.4 billion people isn’t easy. Building a diversified economy that creates millions of jobs across IT, manufacturing, and agriculture is a massive deal.
• India isn’t just diversified—it’s a global leader in industries like IT and pharmaceuticals. Its impact is felt worldwide.

Key Point: India’s size makes its achievements even more remarkable. It didn’t just diversify—it did it on a scale no Caribbean nation can even imagine.

5. “India’s progress is unspectacular because of its size.”

This argument oversimplifies things. India’s population isn’t just a burden—it’s also an asset:
• Market size: India’s massive population drives its economy. A huge consumer base attracts investments and fuels industries.
• Workforce: India has a young, skilled workforce that’s powering industries like tech and healthcare. Countries like Barbados can’t compete with that scale.
• Global impact: India’s successes—like developing vaccines or leading in IT—don’t just benefit Indians; they impact the entire world.

Key Point: India’s population isn’t just a problem—it’s also its greatest strength. Its ability to harness that scale is what makes its progress stand out.

6. “You’re biased against Black-majority nations.”

This isn’t about bias or dismissing Black-majority nations—it’s about understanding context. Every country inherited different conditions after colonialism:
• Barbados: Had stable systems, trade networks, and education that made progress easier.
• India: Got a terrible deal—partition, drained resources, and a broken economy—but built itself up almost entirely from scratch.
• Haiti: Faced constant exploitation and foreign meddling, making recovery nearly impossible.

Key Point: Acknowledging that some nations had better starting points doesn’t downplay their success—it just highlights how different their challenges were

Haiti’s situation is completely different from places like Barbados or Jamaica. After gaining independence, Haiti was crushed by reparations to France, foreign interference, and a lack of resources. Barbados and other former British colonies didn’t face those same conditions—they inherited more stable systems, better infrastructure, and trade networks that gave them a stronger foundation to grow after independence

The leadership in Barbados, Jamaica, and other Caribbean nations has done a great job building on what they inherited. But here’s the thing: Barbados didn’t have to rebuild from scratch like Haiti or India. It got:
• A parliamentary system from the British, which created political stability.
• An education system that led to near-universal literacy early on.
• Infrastructure like ports and roads that were later expanded for tourism and trade.

This doesn’t mean that Barbados hasn’t innovated or advanced—it absolutely has. But it’s undeniable that its success is largely because of the tools and systems the British left behind. That is white success. Black success doesn’t exist.

Barbados has modernized and progressed significantly since independence. But let’s be real—its current success isn’t disconnected from what the British left behind. The legal frameworks, trade networks, and infrastructure laid down during colonial rule gave it a head start. For example:
• The tourism industry that powers Barbados today is built on infrastructure and global connections the British established.
• The education system left by the British helped Barbados achieve one of the highest literacy rates in the region.

This isn’t about saying the Caribbean hasn’t done anything beyond what the British left. It’s about recognizing that those colonial systems gave these nations an advantage post-independence. For example:
• Barbados didn’t inherit economic devastation the way Haiti did. Instead, it had functioning ports, roads, and trade links to leverage for tourism and commerce.
• Being part of the Commonwealth meant ongoing access to trade, aid, and cultural ties with wealthier nations like the UK and Canada.

The Caribbean built on these foundations and adapted them for modern industries, but the British influence laid the groundwork. Blacks can’t actually build a successful civilisation. The Carribean and SA aren’t examples of black success.

Here’s how British influence played a huge role in the Caribbean’s success:
• Stable Governance: Countries like Barbados inherited the Westminster system, which created political stability. Many post-colonial nations struggled with coups or weak leadership, but Barbados thrived because its governance system was already in place.
• Education: The British emphasized education, which is why Caribbean nations like Barbados and Jamaica have some of the highest literacy rates in the region. This focus on education has been key to their economic growth.
• Infrastructure and Tourism: The British developed ports, railways, and roads for their own purposes, but those systems became the backbone of the tourism industry after independence.
• Trade and Commonwealth Benefits: The British tied Caribbean nations into global trade networks, giving them access to larger markets. Even today, being part of the Commonwealth brings trade deals, aid, and investment opportunities

The success of Caribbean nations like Barbados, Bahamas and Jamaica is almost solely because of the British, but it’s largely tied to the systems and stability they inherited. The British didn’t leave these nations destitute—they left tools that Caribbean leaders used to build thriving economies.

it’s true that some Sub-Saharan nations like Mauritius (homicide rate ~2.0 per 100,000) or Rwanda (~2.5) have lower murder rates than India (~3 per 100,000). However:
• India is not a violent crime hotspot: India’s murder rate is relatively low globally, especially considering its scale. For comparison:
• Jamaica: 52.9 per 100,000.
• South Africa: 36.4 per 100,000.
• Trinidad and Tobago: 39.4 per 100,000.
• No insurgency argument: India does have pockets of insurgency (e.g., Kashmir, Maoist regions) and localized violence, yet its murder rate remains low compared to global averages.

Key Point: While some Sub-Saharan nations have lower murder rates, India’s overall rate is still low for a country of its size and diversity

Imagine still getting a 3 in a country of 1.4 billion.”

This is actually a sign of relative safety, not failure:
• Scale and diversity: India’s population size and complexity make governance and law enforcement challenging. Maintaining a homicide rate of around 3 per 100,000 despite these challenges is a testament to its societal stability.
• Crime composition: India’s crime stats are skewed toward non-violent offenses like theft or fraud, rather than the extreme violent crime rates seen in some other regions.

Key Point: India’s crime rates are not disproportionately high given its scale and diversity.

Blacks are inherently violent.

Indian scamming is nowhere as bad as blacks for scamming 😂.

I’m not an uncle tom but your the delusional Afrocentrist.

Sladem05:
None do. SA just has that development because of the whites and the same with the carribean😂
If not for whites, SA would be backward.

No carribean nation is successful. Look at how SA tumbled since blacks took over. Blacks only destroy not build.

Damn, then you must be destroying anywhere you are right now, careful on the destruction Uncle Tom.

No Carribean Nation is successful, pure lies again😂😂😂... The dude somehow now refuse to go by stats. now, several Carribean Nations have better economies per Capita over your amazing India, several Carribean Nations have constantly been on an unpward tragectory economic growth for a long time Uncle Tom, several Carribean Nations by most Statistical merits are successful Uncle Tom😂😂😂.

Even your stats. fail you this time bro😂😂😂, there are several others; "Carribean Nations are not successful" rhetoric, DEBUNKED.

Derekmiles:
😂😂😂, "Less readily available"... I've been trying to negate from this Indian crime rhetoric, or should i say "Every 16 minutes, a woman is raped" country... Or lets even go about their scam rates.. There are Sub- saharan African Nations with a lower murder rate than India, and imagine still being able to get a rating of 3 in a country of 1.4 Billion people, with no insurgency and all that, WOW, that's more than twice as dangerous as Ghana with a way lower population.

The country with the highest murder rate is majorly made up of Ethnic Europeans and Indigenous people.

"You have a hard time accepting that Africa is a lost cause. I don’t know why. It’s impossible for that continent or the carribean or any black society to progress. That’s not me being an uncle tom"

You have a hard time seeing that's you're a clear definition of an UNCLE TOM, because all the rhetorics you've claimed since, several Nations have proved you wrong, which automatically means you're wrong Uncle Tom.

India is generally safer than most African countries on average.
• Homicide Rates: India’s homicide rate is approximately 2.94 per 100,000 people, which is significantly lower than countries like South Africa (34.4 per 100,000) or Nigeria (13.9 per 100,000). Some African nations, like Mauritius (2 per 100,000), are safer, but they’re the exception rather than the rule.
• Crime Index: Countries like South Africa, Nigeria, and Kenya rank high on global crime perception indices due to violent crimes like murder, assault, and carjackings. India, while facing issues like scams and gender-based violence, doesn’t experience widespread violent crime at the same level.
, India has lower rates of violent crime compared to the overall average in Africa, making it the safer option. Cope harder

No carribean nations aren’t successful as most of them aren’t even black. The only successful ones are the ones that are still British territories. The only successful black one is Bermuda but that is literally a British territory.
I already debunked it because carribean and SA success is just because of the whites.

1. “Caribbean nations have better economies per capita.”

Yes, some Caribbean nations have higher GDP per capita—like the Bahamas ($30,000) and Barbados ($18,000)—while India sits at ~$2,389. But this lead is overrated, and here’s why:
• Tiny Populations: Managing an economy for 300,000 people in Barbados or 400,000 in the Bahamas is way easier than managing an economy for 1.4 billion people in India. The scale of challenges and resources needed are worlds apart.
• Small Economies, Big Risks: Caribbean nations rely heavily on tourism, which is highly vulnerable to global shocks. For example, COVID-19 devastated their economies because tourism dried up overnight. India, with its diversified economy, continued to grow despite the pandemic.

Key Point: Higher per capita income in small, tourism-based economies doesn’t mean they’re truly stronger or more resilient—it just means they have fewer people to support.

2. “Caribbean nations have stable economic growth.”

It’s true that many Caribbean nations have stable growth, but it’s often slow and limited in impact:
• Low Growth Rates: While Caribbean nations grow at around 2–3% annually, India’s economy is growing at a much faster rate—7.2% in 2023, one of the highest in the world.
• No Global Influence: Even with stable growth, Caribbean nations lack global economic impact. Their economies are largely inward-looking, dependent on tourism, offshore banking, and remittances. In contrast, India is a global player, leading in IT, manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals.

Key Point: Caribbean growth looks good on paper but doesn’t carry the global weight or transformational impact that India’s growth does.

3. “Caribbean nations are successful by most statistical merits.”

This depends on what you measure. Sure, Caribbean nations have higher GDP per capita and literacy rates, but let’s look at the bigger picture:
• Limited Industries: Caribbean economies are often undiversified, relying heavily on one or two sectors like tourism or financial services. India, meanwhile, has built a robust economy across multiple industries—from tech and manufacturing to agriculture and pharmaceuticals.
• Scale of Impact: Caribbean nations might look better in per capita terms, but their economic activity impacts a few hundred thousand people at most. India’s growth is lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty and transforming global industries.
• Vulnerability: Caribbean nations are far more exposed to economic shocks (e.g., hurricanes, global tourism trends) than India, which has a more stable, diverse foundation.

Key Point: Caribbean nations may have better averages, but their economies lack depth, diversification, and global impact, making their “success” feel small in comparison

Sladem05:
it’s true that some Sub-Saharan nations like Mauritius (homicide rate ~2.0 per 100,000) or Rwanda (~2.5) have lower murder rates than India (~3 per 100,000). However:
• India is not a violent crime hotspot: India’s murder rate is relatively low globally, especially considering its scale. For comparison:
• Jamaica: 52.9 per 100,000.
• South Africa: 36.4 per 100,000.
• Trinidad and Tobago: 39.4 per 100,000.
• No insurgency argument: India does have pockets of insurgency (e.g., Kashmir, Maoist regions) and localized violence, yet its murder rate remains low compared to global averages.

Key Point: While some Sub-Saharan nations have lower murder rates, India’s overall rate is still low for a country of its size and diversity

Imagine still getting a 3 in a country of 1.4 billion.”

This is actually a sign of relative safety, not failure:
• Scale and diversity: India’s population size and complexity make governance and law enforcement challenging. Maintaining a homicide rate of around 3 per 100,000 despite these challenges is a testament to its societal stability.
• Crime composition: India’s crime stats are skewed toward non-violent offenses like theft or fraud, rather than the extreme violent crime rates seen in some other regions.

Key Point: India’s crime rates are not disproportionately high given its scale and diversity.

Blacks are inherently violent.

Indian scamming is nowhere as bad as blacks for scamming 😂.

I’m not an uncle tom but your the delusional Afrocentrist.

Indians are literally rated 1st in scamming.

Wow, no Afghanistan in a list talking about Murder rates, hmmm; no lebanon too with what's going on there... Bro, i can count many countries missing.

Blacks are inherently violent... I guess the entire European history, even just the last century was just a footnote then🤔🤔. Dude talking about Blacks are inherently violent, bro, history and even the political spectrum of the world now debunks that... Sometimes, i feel like you've not carried any book outside of analytics one.

India's growth is lifting millions because it has no choice, it is literally made up of a billion... Stop this rubbish cap, their projections and level of global presence will always be underwelming when the factor of their ginormous population is brought in.

Derekmiles:
Damn, then you must be destroying anywhere you are right now, careful on the destruction Uncle Tom.

No Carribean Nation is successful, pure lies again😂😂😂... The dude somehow now refuse to go by stats. now, several Carribean Nations have better economies per Capita over your amazing India, several Carribean Nations have constantly been on an unpward tragectory economic growth for a long time Uncle Tom, several Carribean Nations by most Statistical merits are successful Uncle Tom😂😂😂.

Even your stats. fail you this time bro😂😂😂, there are several others; "Carribean Nations are not successful" rhetoric, DEBUNKED.

Small Scale = Easier to Manage
• Most Caribbean nations have populations in the hundreds of thousands, not millions or billions. For example:
• Barbados: ~300,000 people
• Bahamas: ~400,000 people
• Jamaica: ~2.8 million
• Compare that to India’s 1.4 billion people or even smaller nations like Rwanda (~13 million).
• Impact: Their small size means it’s easier to achieve higher per capita stats like GDP or literacy because there are fewer people to manage and fewer systemic challenges to solve.

Key Point: Small populations make it easier to maintain appearances of “success,” but this doesn’t reflect scalability or resilience.

2. Heavy Dependence on Tourism
• Many Caribbean nations rely almost entirely on tourism to drive their economies:
• Barbados, Bahamas, Jamaica: Tourism accounts for 30-50% of GDP in some nations.
• This makes their economies fragile and vulnerable to global events, like:
• COVID-19: The pandemic crushed Caribbean economies because international travel stopped.
• Hurricanes: Frequent natural disasters destroy infrastructure, disrupt tourism, and devastate economies.
• Compare this to diversified economies like India, which can weather global crises without complete economic collapse.

Key Point: Caribbean nations don’t control their economic destiny—tourism depends on foreign visitors, making their “success” highly unstable.

3. Limited Global Influence
• Caribbean nations don’t play a significant role on the global stage:
• They don’t lead in any major industries like tech, manufacturing, or pharmaceuticals.
• Their economies are small in global terms—India’s economy ($3.7 trillion) is larger than all Caribbean nations combined.
• While some Caribbean nations have stable governance and good human development indicators, their lack of global relevance keeps them in the shadow of truly impactful nations.

Key Point: Success on paper doesn’t equate to global importance or influence.

4. Undiversified Economies
• Most Caribbean nations have very limited economic diversity:
• Tourism and offshore banking dominate, with little focus on manufacturing, agriculture, or tech.
• This creates weak foundations—if one sector collapses, the entire economy suffers.
• In comparison, countries like India, despite their challenges, have diversified economies that include IT, manufacturing, agriculture, and more.

Key Point: A one-dimensional economy isn’t sustainable or resilient in the long run.

5. High Debt and Economic Vulnerability
• Many Caribbean nations are saddled with high levels of public debt:
• Barbados: Public debt is over 100% of GDP.
• Jamaica: Historically struggled with massive debt and required international bailouts.
• Their reliance on loans and aid makes them vulnerable to global financial conditions, leaving little room for genuine economic growth.

Key Point: High debt levels undermine claims of “success,” as they can’t sustain growth without outside help.

6. Brain Drain
• Many Caribbean nations face severe brain drain, where talented individuals leave for better opportunities in the U.S., Canada, or Europe.
• For example, Jamaica’s diaspora contributes more to the economy through remittances than domestic industries. This reliance on expatriates shows a lack of local opportunities and development.

Key Point: A successful nation retains its talent and builds opportunities at home. The Caribbean struggles to do this.

7. Poor Income Equality
• Despite higher GDP per capita, wealth distribution is uneven:
• Many people in the Caribbean still face poverty, and the benefits of industries like tourism rarely trickle down to the average citizen.
• This inequality undermines the narrative of broad-based “success.”

Key Point: A nation can’t truly be successful if most of its citizens don’t benefit from economic gains


I’ve also already that carribean success is just down to the Brits.
Other forums have already debated this. There actually is no successful black society out there
