This is just social democracy with a coat of red. A large part of Kerala's income is from remittances by Keralites working abroad in horrible conditions.
-
Remittances are a huge factor in most global south countries' income, its not just kerala. Thats more on Kerala still being subjected to imperialism as part of the indian state and not any failure of the local leftists.
-
Yup. That Kerala can be this good while being imperialized through taxes makes it twice as impressive (same goes for South India as a whole, and a few other states too)
Every politician in Bihar (and also many more) must be destroyed

Okay but Bengalis and Punjabis and Burmese and Cambodians and Laotians and ESPECIALLY Biharis/Hindustanis are also allowed to work abroad?????????????? And these places are worse off than Kerala
So obviously something's being done right

yes, Kerala has a huge diaspora bringing in money from abroad (which is especially beneficial because of exchange rates). It's not the Kerala Government policy to forcibly send workers to Gulf States. People go there because where you earn $250 in Kerala, you earn $700-$1000 abroad. Is that good? No, but the people aren't going there out of sheer desperation.
Should the current Mexican Government (or even the previous ones) be blamed for undocumented immigrants working in terrible conditions in the US? No.
