In India, unfortunately, education means school infrastructure, brightly coloured benches, mural paintings on walls, and brightly painted walls. That’s it.
No one talks about the quality of teaching, because the moment the quality of teaching is discussed, merit will be discussed, reservation will be discussed, and no political party is comfortable talking about it.
Vegetables become “vegitable” and deer becomes “dear,” but hey, look at the benches they’re so good! Look at the wall paintings they don’t even look like they belong in a school in India! Show them the quality of education, and it looks like school in Bangladesh.
This is what happens when people who have themselves failed basic exams three times demand improvements in education, while those who are genuinely educated and believe in merit no longer see any hope.
I was just in Mumbai, and I have to give them credit for the progress they’re making on infrastructure. The new Aqua Line metro is phenomenal. But the amount of work India still has to do on basic cleanliness and sanitation and it is hard to understand until you see it yourself. Would love for more westerners to go just to understand how wealthy they are, but that's a different point.
Mumbai is completely surrounded by water, yet there are almost no places where people can actually enjoy the water. The beaches are filled with trash, the water is badly contaminated, and almost nobody swims, even when it’s brutally hot outside. Walking on the beach is just mud and trash meeting filthy water on the horizon.
There are much poorer places around the world where people can still use the beaches. This is not just about money. India has gone decades without adequate trash collection, sewage treatment, or enforcement for a population of more than a billion people. At this point, the scale of the problem feels almost impossible, and the oceans around the world are paying the price for Indias garbage output as well.
I like the direction Modi is taking the country, but India needs to treat cleanup like a national emergency. Stop with the small campaigns and organize a full scale blitz.
Offer unemployed people paid work picking up trash, clearing drains and waterways, cleaning beaches, and maintaining public spaces. Give them proper equipment and supervision. Then build the collection and waste processing systems needed to stop everything from becoming filthy again a week later.
India has shown that it can build metros, airports, highways, and digital infrastructure. Clean streets and usable water should be treated as infrastructure too.
Mumbai should have one of the greatest waterfronts in the world. Instead, it's has basically an irrelevant feature of the city and feels surrendered to sewage and garbage.
Agree or disagree with what he said, but all these so called non-GenZ "dehati coded" had more grace, honour, cultured to not abuse & use graphic pornographic abuses to make his point.
Better than urban GenZ.

What they did is truly remarkable 🙏🏼🫡✨Treesa & Gayatri
Seeing children in stadium watching them play, cheering, getting excited…these girls have inspired them.
Definitely Indian badminton is going to attract a lot of the young players seeing these two fire guns 💪
China : 1 party rule
US : 2 party rule
India : 2500 parties, 25000 protests, naxals, commies, 200+ dialects and languages, 100+ different interests
Most of India's political energy goes into managing diversity and dissent
Brilliant!! Unseeded pair of Gayatri Gopichand and Treesa Jolly beat World number 4 pair of (4x World 🥇) Jia Yifan and Zhang Shuxian 16-21 21-15 21-13 in the Womens doubles QF. Lovely moment as coach Gopichand embraces Treesa and daughter Gayatri.
