Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

42.3% of graduates under 25 unemployed, finds latest State of Working India report (indianexpress.com)

Also, there has been an upward trend in intergenerational mobility, but the trend has been weaker for workers belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes categories as compared to workers belonging to general castes.

For unemployment based on education and age groups, the report stated that 42.3 per cent of graduates under 25 are unemployed whereas the figure stands at 21.4 per cent for those who have completed higher secondary education in the same age group. Notably, with lower educational qualifications, the rate of unemployment also decreased.

Speaking to The Indian Express, Rosa Abraham, co-author of the report and among the principal investigators for the India Working Survey, explained, “There are two things that are potentially happening here– one is of course that as a graduate your aspirations and ambition for the kind of work you want to do and the minimum wage you’d demand is much higher. So if the economy is not generating such jobs, they may choose to be unemployed.”

Anyone have a good youtube source recommendation on Indian history? Preferably that dry, longer-form documentary style you get from a lot of the youtube history folks that makes for good background audio.

Particular biases are fine so long as they're not trying to hide them, which I would see as dishonesty. I'm particularly interested in how the society and caste system has evolved from post-WW2 to the present day, my knowledge of Indian history ends rather abruptly with Ghandi.

Actual Indian sources in English language preferred, if any quality ones exist.

I'm not sure about their graduates and doing next projection may be hasty, wrong and anegtoticaly based only on limited exposure of cases, but ... But if they fake studies same as some of indian, suposedly "programmers", fake work experience in interviews and/or doing work given – the reason behind the large % unemployment of graduates maybe that they can't do shit. I mean, lacking quality of ethics results a wrong learned behaviour – cheat vs own (admit) reality and learn (bring on board effort) for the future.

I am a software engineer. I work with a few Indian people who are amazing at what they do, but both of them have told me the same: a lot of Indian engineers are fakes.

I don't think it's people learning to cheat, but rather the market being so competitive/resourceless that cheating is necessary to get a well paying job

That's (above) a good example of argumentation, iliustrating and beeing born out of that other cultural understanding of ethics I've talked about.

My answer is: show me that you can learn and think, show me good work ethics and the job is yours. Company will even sent you to (and pay for your) courses. You'll get my own time to explain things, to give you directions to resourses and themes, your coleagues will teach you on a go whilst collaborating and it all will hapen on company's time.
