This tweet echoed our thoughts and we are missing so many things clean air, good roads, transport connectivity, continuous power, clean water, Pavements for walking, Parks which are like normal things in other countries

I recently spent 2 weeks in China.

6 cities: Shanghai, Beijing, Xi’an, Zhangjiajie, Chongqing and Chengdu.

I went there with curiosity.

Like many Indians, I had heard a lot about China through media, social media and conversations. I expected to see progress, maybe discover some business ideas, and understand what the country is actually building.

I came back with a very uncomfortable feeling.

Not because I found a business idea for myself.

But because I saw 100 things that governments can do when infrastructure, tourism, transport, urban planning and civic systems are treated seriously.

I travelled within China by flights, trains, cars and local transport. The infrastructure was honestly stunning.

Clean cities. Smooth roads. High-speed trains. Well-managed traffic. Public spaces that actually feel designed for people. Tourist destinations that are built, maintained and promoted like national assets.

And then I kept thinking about India.

We keep comparing ourselves to China. Our media keeps telling us how India is catching up, how China is restrictive, how we are better in so many ways.

After spending time there and speaking to people, I realised how much of that narrative is just comfort food.

China is not perfect. No country is.

But on infrastructure, execution, tourism, civic discipline and quality of urban life, they are not 5 years ahead of us.

They are decades ahead.

The saddest part for me was the currency.

Everything felt expensive. Not because China was insanely expensive, but because the rupee has weakened so much that even normal spending starts feeling heavy. As an Indian taxpayer, that genuinely hurt.

We pay taxes. We work hard. We talk about becoming a global power.

But where is the quality of life?

Where is the civic sense?

Where is the infrastructure that makes daily life easier?

Where is the tourism vision beyond religious tourism?

I met travellers from other countries who were excited to visit China because they wanted to see its progress. When I asked about India, many had no real desire to visit. Not out of hate. India simply was not on their aspirational travel list.

That should bother us.

Even the so-called “closed internet” surprised me. We are told people there are missing out because they don’t use Google, Instagram, WhatsApp or Facebook.

But China has built its own digital ecosystem. Payments, maps, transport, messaging, shopping, everything works inside their own infrastructure. People did not seem to feel deprived. They seemed adapted.

Again, this is not a hate post.

I love India. That is exactly why this trip bothered me.

Patriotism cannot only be about saying we are great.

Real patriotism is having the courage to admit where we are falling behind.

China made me realise one thing very clearly:

India’s potential is not the problem.

Execution is.

And unless we stop comforting ourselves with comparisons and start demanding better infrastructure, better governance, better tourism, cleaner cities and a higher quality of life, we will keep celebrating the idea of progress instead of actually living it.

Is your laptop suddenly as slow as a snail and the fan is making a lot of noise every time you open Chrome?

Many people suggest switching to Edge or Brave. You don’t need to. You just need to change a few hidden settings.

I’ll show you how to stop Chrome from being a RAM vampire.

Brilliant ad from #Acko. Meanwhile, thousands are still paying premiums for #LIC endowment plans—thanks to a relative or neighbourhood uncle who “guaranteed” it was the best investment.

Skill India. The CAG just exposed what INR 10,194 crore of your tax money actually bought.

PMKVY ran from 2015 to 2022. Three phases. INR 14,450 crore outlay. The goal was to skill 1.32 crore youth.

CAG audited it.

Here’s what they found.

95.90 lakh participants under PMKVY 2.0 and 3.0. For 90.66 lakh of them, that’s 94.53%, the bank account field was recorded as zero, null, N/A, or just left blank. Bank accounts were mandatory for Rs 500 DBT payments.

So where did the money go?

The remaining 5.24 lakh who actually had bank details? 12,122 account numbers were repeated across 52,381 people. And some of those accounts were literally “11111111111” and “123456”. Single digit entries. Text. Names. Special characters instead of account numbers.

Now here’s the wild part.

A company called Neelima Moving Pictures (NMP). Not even registered with the Registrar of Companies. This company certified 33,493 people across 8 states in 21 job roles between January and November 2020.

When CAG went looking for NMP in October 2022, the company didn’t exist anymore. They were told it shut down during COVID.

But the photos NMP submitted as training proof? Same batch photo used for Bihar’s Gaya district, UP’s Bahraich and Shravasti, Maharashtra’s Jalgaon, and Rajasthan’s Sri Ganganagar. Different states. Different batches. Same photo.

Emails sent by CAG for verification? 36.51% bounced. The ones that came back? Many were sent from training partner email IDs, not the actual trainees.

2.72 lakh email addresses were null. Over 3.08 lakh were repeated.

In Bihar, 3 out of 10 training centres were physically shut when inspectors showed up. The portal still showed training was happening.

34 lakh+ certified candidates have still not received their DBT payment. Overall placement rate? Just 41%.

And the official PMKVY website? Try opening https://t.co/IreLqQt9un right now. It doesn’t even load.

INR 10,000 crore spent to skill India’s youth. 94% didn’t even have valid bank accounts on record. Ghost companies certifying thousands with recycled photos. Centres that exist on a portal but are locked on the ground.

This isn’t an allegation. This is the Comptroller and Auditor General of India’s own report.

Who is accountable?
