  $0.7k annually? Is it anyhow possible to live with that low salary in India? I can’t even live a month with that here, even if I don’t buy anything but the cheapest food and live in the smallest apartments here…

    It is possible to live on that, there are people who live on less than it. Personally all of it went to supplementing my Mom’s income so we could survive.

    There are plenty of entry level jobs in India that offer those kinds of wages. There are more that offer less.

    Yes, it’s exploitative.
