Last time I was in Bangalore there was an 80% completed, multi-story downtown building that ‘didn’t exist’.
It’s not the laws that matter, it’s who you know.

Wow, that’s not bullshit in the slightest. Is it legal to do this there? I mean it’s technically illegal here in America but employers can always come up with a bullshit excuse. Worse, if you live in San “at will” state, they can fire you with NO reason.

Watching Mike Okay videos, even things that aren’t legal seem to be commonplace. The video where he visited a small jeans factory in a crawlspace above another shop that had ladder access, and where the off-dity employees slept on the floor underneath the workbenches where other workers were working, a small room with ceilings so low he had to stoop, that gave me the heebie jeebies
Whenever I talk to an Indian about politics, the one thing they always mention is how bad corruption is in India. So I doubt that, even if it is illegal, they’ll face any repercussions, so long as they’ve padded the pockets of the right person.

I don’t know much about Indian laws and work culture, but many Indians I spoke to mentioned the work culture in their country is highly toxic. They prefer to work in American and Western companies instead of Indian-grown companies.
