Can you explain why?

(I am not from US)

Around 40% of Indian politicians are only educated up to school (stat might have changed), and the ruling party is quite dystopian in silencing narratives that go against it.

Sorry, but what does "up to school" mean? (I am American, and many of our education groups are schools.) Is that school prior to college, ending near age 18, or something else?

Edit: thank you, I now understand

till 10th grade (GED equivlent i guess.)

I would guess that most republicans politicians are actually pretty highly educated. Trump even went to ivy league schools. They value it, just not for their voters.

Not really. They use Ivy League schools more for making connections with other wealthy people and getting jobs through those connections than actually learning anything.

Yes I get that about india, but i'm asking why the other perso thought it was US first. Is there any similiar event or so?

Majority of users on lemmy are probably americans by now and they assume everything is about their country.
