Why do people get defensive when somebody criticizes India?
The first step to change is accept the facts.
There are two issues from the citizens side when it comes to this country
1. Acceptance of unacceptable things.
For example for many people power cuts, lack of drinking water, state sponsored terrorism, Farmer suicides, starvation deaths are acceptable. Please be aware that until all these things go away, the country cant be developed. These things are not acceptable, and make living here a rut.
2. Attack the messenger.
When somebody (indian, or foreigner) puts across the truth harshly, people pounce. Why? Lets call a spade a spade. I have spent 3 hours struck on delhi outskirts because police haphazardly stopped trucks to collect hafta. Is this acceptable.
After paying 12% road tax in BLR the roads are riddled with potholes.
After paying hefty registration fees the corporation cannot provide water(let alone drinking water) to the apartment complex.
With things like this, GDP growth of 100% or 200% or 500% is all immaterial. Where is all the money going.
Surely there are lots of opportunities here, but they do not mask the rut we live in.
So instead of saying all this is okay, please resent this. This is not living
