You think India communist? ;-)

No, but what I do think is common in India, is that the low paid workers
have tools provided by their employers and the employers own the tools.

The workers are paid far too little to buy their own tools and if they were
given them, sell them to buy cheap tools and use the money for food, etc.

The philosophy may be different, but the result is the same.

Note that India is a very large place and not everyone who lives there is
poor.
