When People Complain there are no Jobs in India, What they Mean is:
.
There are no Legacy Jobs anymore, Where They Could Warm Chairs Whole Day, Cracking Joints and Jokes with Colleagues, and Still had Enough time left to Entertain a Cushy Side-business, With Least Bother About How Such Inactivity Hollows the Organization they represent Inside out as the Decades Roll by.
.
The kind of Jobs that you get through Personal Contacts with Political Network. Where There's always a Bhaiya-ji who can Deliver once you Hand over the Suitcase, and Ask no Questions till the Day you Show up at Work. Where You are Introduced to Institutional Corruption, first as a Means to Recover your Investment for the Job, and later, as the only Way to Build the Future you Aspire to.
.
Ironically, India had Always been the Land of Entrepreneurs. However, Mughal Rule and British Era Exploited these Entrepreneurs so Heavily through Jizya and Taxations, that it was Impossible to Sustain any sort of Business.
.
People then Found More Merit to be Courtiers and Employed in the British Bureaucracy as that Meant Your Personal Assets will be Secure from the Roving Eyes of the Empire, and later from the Even more Exploitative Brown Sepoy Party, the Congress.
.
Yeah, those Jobs are Gone, and that Time is also Gone. For Good. Ask the 2000-batch Bureaucrats who are Learning this Lesson the Hard Way Every Day Half-way through their Careers. They are now a Warning Sign for Anyone Who thought They Could Enjoy Gravy Trains earlier.
.
For others, Who Believe in Hustle and Innovative Approaches, Who Look outside the Box to make Money, There are Opportunities Galore.
.
Today, the World has Changed. While Everyone is Still aiming for the same (a Secure Future for Self and Family before they hit 60), they now understand that they can Either Accumulate Enough Capital for that by Working for 30-odd years for a Fixed Salary, or Make that much in 20-odd Years Through Smart (and Legal) Work and Entrepreneurship.
.
When PM Modi had Spoken about the potential of India UNINC., it was mocked as 'Pakodanomics', and everyone (including his voters) Trolled him for Promoting What was seen as "Lowly Work". Today the Society is much more Aware and is Witnessing how Small Tiffin Centers are Offering Higher Salaries to their Staff compared to what MNCs pay their Employees, and How Tea-stall Owners are Making a Killing.
.
Business is Becoming more Open, but More Importantly, the Business Mindset is becoming more Acceptable. Thankfully, People are now Waking up to the Gigantic Potential of the Service sector, and are Beginning to Shed the Supposed "Honor and Prestige" associated with Colonial-era Mindset, And are Shunning the Notion of "Secure jobs" to Explore Unchartered Territories.

To Make Bharat Rise Again, it's the time for Youngsters to Spread their wings and Fly Close to the Sun. In the Process, if they Burn some Feathers, it's Okay. These Early Mistakes Give Life-long Perspectives with Enough time to Recover and Re-attempt. The time of "Vote and Note" is Gone. It's now the Dawn of Learn & Earn.
