A very tough fact but we need to face it

Bereaucratic apathy and corruption has killed more Indian citizens than the terrorists sent by our enemy nation

Tokyo has 2 airports, NY has 3, London has 6, Bangkok has 2,every major growing city expands airport infrastructure

But when Chennai asks for a 2nd airport suddenly everyone acts like it’s unnecessary 😭

It brings jobs,investments,tourism & overall development to the city 😭

I've already retweeted @Options_IndiaAB post.

Since I want this to reach lot of people, posting it separately too.

Here is the post:

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.

Massive hike in #petrol prices is a prime example of the failure of Congress-led UPA. This will put a burden of hundreds of crores on Guj.

Once you visit small countries like Sri Lanka, Thailand, or Vietnam, or cities like Dubai for the first time and then come back to Indian streets, you realize how much you’ve been scammed by your municipality, local MLA, MP, and the whole system.

Zero debates on unemployment.
Zero debates on paper leaks.
Zero debates on inflation.
Zero debates on food safety.
Zero debates on the rising fuel crisis.
Zero debates on capital expenditure.
Zero debates on economic development.
Zero debates on R&D, science, and innovation.
Zero debates on education.
Zero debates on women safety
Zero debates on start up culture,
Zero debates on healthcare infrastructure.

And then look at these paid actors busy running government propaganda.

Many journalists have been asking me whether this GenZ movement will turn into what happened in Nepal or Bangladesh.

Let me make this absolutely clear. Do not insult or underestimate the GenZ of India by making such comparisons. The youth of this country are far more mature, aware, and politically conscious than many give them credit for. They understand their constitutional rights and will express their dissent through peaceful and democratic means.

And please, do not demean them. Many of these young people are far more educated and informed than those currently running the government.
