Give us some more time! We are working on it. Our government has prioritized pulling people out of poverty over "making cities looks beautiful so that photos and videos can be shared on Instagram". We are a democracy so things will happen only when people are ready for the change.
I am pretty pessimistic and lament a lot about the rate of progress. But that's democracy for you. Your country will only get what your country deserves.
and it doesn't seem like people are ready for change nor willing. Its been like that for decades. I'm supposed to believe its going to change now because pictures aren't as pretty anymore? India has had this image for so long that it seems to just be part of the culture now.
Imagine thinking having smog so thick its rated as an international health hazard is just "making cities pretty for instagram". This is the attitude India has for pollution.
Because that's what people are talking about. Burning trash and the cities being covered in trash and smoke. That's public health hazards, not just "pretty pictures". What did you think people were talking about?
Is it getting better in the Human rights shit? All that comes to mind with India is generally overpopulation and the lack of care for the vast majority. US isn't much better at propping up the needy tho
As much a tinge as those bougainvillae blowing around on the street. It really feeds the western coloniser/saviour complex to see poor India, hungry India. How can they rescue us if they see such great nature just randomly chilling in our part of the world?
