I don't know any reasonable person that would say the U.S. is a worse country than india. >

Well at least we still have affordable healthcare to begin with. Every year americans fly to new delhi to get admitted to Indian hosptials 🥹 coz they cant afford healthcare in their own country!

Between the caste system, gang rapes and extreme poverty experience by a huge portion of your population and arranged marriage culture,>

While one can argue racism in the united states and we do punish rapists here ,for year 2021 , us reported around 200k rapes while india did 20k comparing the population and all , but lets not make a comparison there. The women in india can at least legally abort ( no matter what the reason for not wanting the child is) while arranged marriages are part of culture that some may follow ,you dont have to get into one.

America isn't perfect, we're a new country with a lot of kinks to work out, but you couldn't pay me enough to get me to move to india. >

India is relatively new when compared to the US and despite of the abject proverty that you claim , people with minimum wage can still afford to eat and have a place to live ! We arent at mercy of few capitalists , at least not yet ! And please , no one asked u to move !
