Considering how India started 6-7 decades ago, after centuries of colonial rule and impoverishment, merely having McDonalds would be a great difference.

Yeah, but neither of these create a community where you'd want to come back. It's a sign of economical progress, but is it what makes you enjoy the life in the country?

Isn't the normal process: economic development -> social change? Economic development can happen within 5-10-15 years, while the second one usually takes 2-3 generations, so 40-60 years.
