Is there nothing else to do in India except make simple garments ?
What?
If robots can make simple garments is that the end of jobs in India, is there nothing else to do?
Certainly not. There are other jobs in india for sure.
is that getting a new job takes time and effort. And for some of these people doing paycheck to paycheck they may cant last more than 1 month.

Not really. Read this: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/6/9/indias-fertility-rate-falls-below-replacement-level-why-it-matters
how does this moot that they have 1.5 billion people?
I think they probably quoted the wrong bit of text
At least based on that article, birth rates are no longer high enough to maintain population
