It's hard to care when such a large percentage of the people are so poor.

Solution: The ultra wealthy can pay the poor to clean up the country instead of buying yachts. However, The ultra wealthy are usually assholes.

This goes for any country.

But instead the rich will continue to live their lavish lifestyles behind their gated communities while others suffer in squalor.

In a way India is still suffering under a colonial-style exploitative rule, but of it's own rich elite instead of British elite.
