&gt;&gt; I am from Kerala state &amp; I enjoy almost the same living standards in Kerala as that of US where I am currently working.<p>You&#x27;ve got to be kidding me. The definition of first world country isn&#x27;t a fast internet connection. Heck US has 2G speeds all over the country.<p>Having world class road&#x2F;transportation infrastructure, dependable energy security, national security, economic infrastructure, public schools which provide same quality of education throughout country etc. These are some of the things that count as metrics for development.<p>Kerala or any state in India is atleast 5 decades away from the standard of living I&#x27;ve seen in the US.
