In pratice this is an early version of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_circuses
Also known as the "dole":
> Why is it called the dole?
> In British English, unemployment benefits are also colloquially referred to as "the dole"; receiving benefits is informally called "being on the dole". "Dole" here is an archaic expression meaning "one's allotted portion", from the synonymous Old English word dฤl.
The current (last thousands of years) status quo of government is to divide and conquer. They are dividing the people, making them more friends/dependent of the government.
Sounds about right. And Iโll ask whatever I want ๐

That just over half the population of India.
A huge number!
It is. I think lots of countries are just run quite differently to what we are used to.
Both China and India are two huge societies that have massive internal population bodies that are basically unseeable from outside.
I know I donโt understand what these societies are like on the inside.
Indiaโs demographic pyramid is also pretty clean and their population has a high fraction of children. Only 5% of Indians are over 60.
Their peak cohort is currently 16, so expect their economy to foom over next 15 years.
With all this in mind, probably makes sense to avert any sort of famine and promote social cohesion. Theyโre really in the starting blocks.
๐ Sorry I have seriously math issues.
if its my country, likely it is described as "charity" so that some politicians can swindle most of the monies allocated for this lol. I don't know India enough but I do wonder, in such a heavy agriculture-based country, why not enable people instead? Why do you want them to be so dependent on governments? The dependency is what makes it really dangerous for the people.
