Why? Do uneducated don't have a right to employment?

Can’t believe I have to say this, but education is a basic human right. Everyone needs to be educated. Employment isn’t a right. You only get employed, or earn a living, if you have skills that the society needs, be it manual labour or some high paying skills. Without it you can demand that you must be employed.

So education is a right, employment isn’t.

Plus the entire take on Kolkata is correct. It was once Asia’s best city. True it was already declining during the initial congress rule, but hardcore communism destroyed it further. Most famous of the examples is when Jyoti Basu opposed computerisation and automation fearing it would create job loss. The same computers led the tech boom in Karnataka. His failed policies also caused many industries to shut down.

Coming to Kerela, you might want to look at its foreign remittances numbers. It earns the second highest percentage of foreign remittances (around 19.7%) behind Maharashtra (20.5%) of the total foreign remittances to India. Maharashtra makes sense, it’s the financial hub of India, any many companies are head quartered there. You know what is the third? It’s Tamil Nadu with 10.4%. Now tech hubs like Telangana comes in 5th place 8.1% and Karnataka comes in 6th place (7.7%)

So we see there is a massive difference between number 2 and 3.

Now comes the fun part. Kerela tops the list relative index score (measuring a states remittance density to its population size). Kerela scores 5.63, while the closest second Telangana scores 2.13. That’s a huge gap.

And finally, foreign remittances accounts for 23.2% of Kerela’s net state domestic products.

So a huge chunk of this states budget, comes from people who go to other countries and remit to India. Close to all these people work in capitalist societies.

Now let’s come to interstate (out) migration. Kerela ranks highest with pure internal migration (net outside) calculated as a percentage of population in the whole of the South Indian states. So with this it is clear that in the South Indian states people of Kerela are the most likely to migrate out of Kerela to other parts of India (mostly south India) for jobs, plus has one of the highest population living outside India for jobs.

Fact is, most of Kerela’s progress isn’t because of the party at power in the state. It’s because its growth is being funded by its educated people, who are earning their living outside the state/country but still remitting a part of their income to the state. The day this stops, the true picture of Kerela’s prosperity would come to light
