@ProsperionX Beyond all of this, we have the painful daily grind in this country. The roads are damaged, the public transport doesn't have enough connectivity, traffic ensures to suck the life out of you as you travel, noise pollution, unbreathable air, the handling of rains, flooding & water-logging is godawful, the summers are becoming increasingly unbearable every year (mercury regularly touches 50°C in some places mahn T_T), the bureaucracy is corrupt, the judicial system leans towards those who have power & money, the politicians are a bunch of numbskulls (and in some places, literal criminals & rape-accused occupy seats in power -_-), home ownership is becoming harder with the rising real estate prices while salaries are stagnating and upon all of this we pay hefty taxes on our incomes and every single consumer product we buy! Where do these taxes even go? Cuz I don't see even 10% worth of work done for the amount of tax i pay.
Who tf would want to stay here at this rate?! Daily life is a struggle here. Is it any surprise that hundreds and thousands of young people migrate abroad every year in search of greener pastures? It's bcuz every pasture seems greener than India. Yes, other countries have its flaws too.. but people think they'll be better off dealing with the issues of other countries than languish here for life. Atleast the air will be breathable if nothing else.
Oh Chetak definitely had a spine of steel if you compare to the people of today. While half of it can be blamed on the govt, the other half is on the people. Critical thinking has almost vanished. Freebies, empty promises and religious divides run the country. And no one wants to come out of their bubble. Open your eyes and see, every person in power is using you like a puppet! Whether we like it or not, whether we realise it or not, all of us are puppets.
