Why we say that›
Japan-India economy ranking in reel is backwards.
India's education rank and Japan's per capita income hold. The load-bearing claim that Japan left India behind economically is false.
The contradicted ranking claim undercuts the Japan-India comparison; no evidence shows education as the direct cause of the income gap.
No education ranking data shown for Japan.
