What concerns you about India the most?

[coffee_rules]

Mainstreaming narratives based single source evidence  or outliers  by intellectuals, media journalists and even by movie makers , as if it is prevalent in the society , to cause division and set policies that hurts the poor of the majority.

India has multiple issues people not working being main thing. Companies moving out of china we missed the bus a bit considering people being our biggest resource and companies moves Vietnam and other East Asian countries. Khalistani issue popping and govt was sleeping. The farm bill may be was good who knows but govt slept while it was hicjacked by khalistanis. India is no longer in 90 or early 2000s they have to be quick on feet with intelligence and how to handle these things. The foreign policy is good but how will they project attacks on embassy’s and Indians and help the western protect our assets and citizens.

Overpopulation, lack of nutrition(protein deficient as someone rightly said) , increasing wealth gap,  failing democratic institutions - too many issues.

 

But most importantly Indian culture .

Can you elaborate more on 

failing democratic institutions (without pitfalls of rhetoric) and culture?

The judicial system is in shambles IMO. 

 

The collegium is basically a fiefdom of a few families who keep appointing their own into the system. The SC court is often responsible of overreach in its powers. They have 0 accountability and crack down on anyone that opposes them with a cease and desist order. Dictators to the max. 

 

They cannot be bothered to close cases that have been running for decades but immediately jump into action for people like Kapil Sibal, Chidambaram, Salman Khurshid etc. who are part of their preferred coterie

Daal & cereals are extremely poor sources of protein except

 

Chickpeas.  Obesity is a different issue.  All boils down to ultimately poor dieting habits & staple food issue.  Even Non vegans have same issue as Protein intake is not up to the standard for them as well as non veg is still not the staple food in the Country coz of various reasons including cost.  Lassi serves as good source of protein intake in North western India which is part of staple diet in the region.  But that's a rare case. 

 

Where does it say daal is low protein? Chickpeas are good protein according to chart. Daal/Beans are no different.

Daal as a curry based meal nearly takes out its nutritional values...  Again a poor source of protein.

I know but that doesn't take into account in what manner we are having it.

The Karnataka government was actually trying to sneak it into school textbooks that eating eggs and meat causes lifestyle disorders.

 

Such ideologically driven nonsense just shows where the priorities of the government are .  You have severe protein deficiency in this country and the last thing you want is to promote state vegetarianism .   Only the wealthy elite can ever afford the multiple sources needed to satisfy nutritional requirements purely based on veg/vegan sources .

You have no idea how bad it is in India. Hustling breeds more inefficiency in the long run, even after hustling so much India is still a 3rd world country in lifestyle, some of the poor areas in Serbia look better than 'posh areas' in our metros, let that sink in!

 

Europeans work less hours and are extremely efficient, no mindless slogging.

Meat and eggs are overrated. Also one must factor in the kind of hormones these animals are fed to grow fast and lay eggs, completely harmful to your body. 

 

Medieval European peasants were mainly vegetarians and ate pottage, yet they worked hard all day on fields and consumed close to 7000 calories a day, so you can imagine good amount of muscles mass. Meat was a luxury like Indian spices and only consumed by the wealthy mostly.

Shameless Industrialists running sweat shops making billions while virtue signaling about hard work. Will he compensate for 70 hrs or scam it to out

I may not agree with Murty, but do you think India can afford European style employee code of work life balance. If India needs to become middle income country in next 10 years, people will have to work hard. Look at what China is doing. 

 

Ofcourse work hard cannot be merely in terms of hours. It has to be about productivity.

No, he cited his example that he worked 14 hrs a day as he was compensated for that, he owns the bloody company. There is more likelihood of an employee working 70 hrs and Murthy will charge the client 70 hrs and pay the employee for 40 hrs. He is the last guy to preach about working more running a body shop

Merely working hard isn't enough IMO, people needs to be compensated as well accordingly.
A tier cities are extremely costly now, a fresher joining with a salary of 22-25k per month will have a hard time managing his finances. How he's supposed to work with dedication if he knows that by end of the month he will literally end up asking loans from his colleagues to meet his ends....and usually freshers are the over-milked species in an IT industry on the account of "on-job learning".

I joined IT industry in 2012, now it's 2024, the initial pay scale is more or less the same. While the rates have doubled or even tripled at some sectors. A fresher living in such condition will start switching jobs every year or two for the CTC alone, that will become his core focus, not acquiring the skills.

Kaunsa middle income country???

 

People who make 25 lacs and above per annum are very few. I'd even go on to say that the median income of the nation is not even 5 lacs per annum, thereby not qualifying to pay taxes.

 

So where does all the actual tax money go? Is that amount sufficient to support such a large population? Does 100% of the tax money gets utilized? I don't think so if you look at the sorry state of public transportation in Mumbai.

 

The middle class is already getting peanuts in hand without any additional benefits like in EU, and then cronies bark about 70 hrs/week which will only further shrink the middle class with most of them looking to emigrate to economies with sane work culture.

On the core topic, what concerns me most about india is "illiteracy"....not the ability to read and write, but the ability to think rationally with an open mind.

Most of the folks have a dogmatic approach, they follow their favourite youtuber/influencer/new-channel and voila, they believe they have the right answer for every solution in the world. No matter what negative impact it will have on our country.

Instead of looking to become rigtheous in everything, be realistic. Don't self-loath your own country just to look "cool" and "modern" in front of the world. Every country has problems, look for the solutions and try to help in implementing it, whatever means you have.
