When Dharma Becomes an Excuse: India’s Betrayal of Its Teachers

A teacher in a Delhi government school earns ₹75,000 a month. Across the same city, her private school counterpart earns barely ₹20,000—less than the intern who designs PowerPoint slides in an air-conditioned office. Step outside India, and the gap widens into an abyss. A teacher in Finland or Luxembourg makes ten times more for the
