We need to build more cities. Why are we still stuck with British era cities? Hindu kingdoms developed their own capital cities, but all have declined into small towns. These need to be revived and these 1 percenters need to build villas in these new cities, than congesting Mumbai, an artificial island city.
Very well written article. As someone who spent first 27 years of life in India understands this. Even now when I visit, it is with the understanding that I have escaped.
What you say is largely true, but your writing sounds less like a piece in a respectable publication and more like a hate rant suitable for X/Twitter. What happened to editorial standards in The Print? A journalist should be able to write about bitter truths without sounding bitter herself.
On a different note, the SC order on stray dogs was a piece of farce on a level by itself. Nothing proves the collapse of local government in India better.
The author seems to be motivated to drive and Anti India agenda..what could be her motivation? Maybe she is from a family personally disadvantaged due to better governance in the country in the past 11 years
If someone is describing the ground reality, which has worsened over the so called growth of India, why call it negative.
Truth be told, we Indians have no civic sense, and lack the humility to get down into the trenches to fix civic issues. If simple household’s chores in a middle class home is run by a battery of servants, what can you expect of wider city matters. How many of the 1% super rich, would contest a municipal election?
Also with that being said author needs to know all riches are temporary..it will get destroyed in one way or other …nothing is permanent …even if we stay in mumbai/ cochin / new york or Melbourne money and wealth can’t be taken when we are dead..so live humbly without overthinking ..there are problems…your article is telling only India is suffering from this issue and rest everywhere things are super fantastic ..if there is problem it is becoz of congress and bjp again I repeat ..so please come up with more sensible topics
Never seen even a single article from this author that is positive. Yes, things are bad in this world, but that’s everywhere. People are leaving the same USA that Indians are aspiring as per this author, so singling out Indians alone is stupid. For a change, the author can also look at positives in life. We have enough negativity around already

Now the print has communists writing for it
Great Read 😀
