On screen, Chandan and Shohaib are given ambition and possibility — young men preparing for government jobs, dreaming of becoming sipahi. However, the reality was a bit different.

Many of you might think I got something so wrong in National Interest pieces written this year. I might disagree! But some deserve a Mea Culpa. I’d deal with the most recent this week.
At least one or two senior journalists like Mr Sanghvi take the risk of speaking the truth. 10- 15 years ago this was very natural, but, today this article stands out…
Things were always bad.
Illegal colonies have always been regularised.
Public infrastructure development was always ridiculed and distributing freebies was glorified.
And you are talking only about Dlegi were BJP is ruling. You have no words for Bengaluru which is being destroyed under Congress.
Well said Vir.
Where does this government come from?
It comes from the Indian people, who are a product of an education system that provides degrees but doesn’t educate.
From a society that is more interested in flexing some caste lineage than looking past caste. From men who cannot stomach the idea of a woman having any agency. From a media that would rather mislead than inform. From the Indian uncle generation who should know better but don’t.
From citizens who hate someone they don’t know and take “pride” in something they had no part in.
It is high time we admit the naked truth to ourselves: This is the best we can do. Garbage in. Garbage out.
Where was Vir when Rajiv Gandhi supported the killing of Sikhs with his bada ped (sick) analogy? Where was he when Sikhs were burnt alive in 1984 riots? Where was he when so many were killed in riots or bomb blasts?
I used to think highly of Vir, now equate him with Raghuram Rajan – a Pappu sidekick
Imagine there is a guy who says “things were so good before 2014, everything was so great, people had all the basic facilities”
Now I agree that you should blame the indigo debacle and the Goa debacle on the government. The pollution is something which is more nuanced than you actually think. I am pretty sure you have read the IIT paper on Delhi’s pollution ? Only 30% of source is within Delhi and everything else lies outside of Delhi which you failed to mention and I wonder why ? Did you write these articles when AAP was in power ? Maybe you did. The failure to understand the core problem and calling geography as a “myth” shows how ideologically brainwashed you are.
Anyone who says that before 2014 there was less corruption is just gaslighting his audience. You only need to speak to a businessman to understand the ground realities. Obviously why would you ?
Before 2014, did you forget about the major corruption scandals in the UPA era ? Ohh I guess you had amnesia so you forgot about it. Did you forget about the Maoist’s insurgency which covered 35% of the country ? Maybe we should blame the serious amnesia ? Did you forget that every other month there was some terror related incident and how the UPA failed to take any action against it ? Before 2014, we couldn’t defend our country from such major problems that you think that we would focus on small scale corruption ?
Also did you forget to mention how every dirty bureaucrat was taking cuts in the welfare scheme and it was the modi government which solved it by digitalization of the system. It’s amnesia right ?
I have read all your articles and it’s fair to say that you, Mr Vir sanghvi are a Congress shill. Nothing wrong with it but people should know.
If you want Congress to be a serious contender, maybe you should write 5 op-Ed’s about how bad Rahul gandhi is for congress and how he undermines the democracy which is he supposed to protect. Maybe you should write how his obsession with caste will eat away the country. Maybe you should talk about his economic policies? Never mind they don’t exist. Rahul gandhi says “factories will take away your job”. He also said “we should bring private sector reservation”.
Are you smart enough to understand the consequences of what he proposes? You are complaining about corruption, have you thought maybe there won’t be a country to even complain about corruption ? If Rahul gandhi comes to power, we will only be talking about how our economy has fallen, companies have left and more terrorism mixed with more appeasement. Yes we will have no discussion on corruption under Congress because that would be considered small.
I urge people to read all his articles so you can corroborate what I am saying.
So Vir Sanghvi thinks that there was less corruption before this. What do you think these reforms do which were only passed during the Modi government’s era ?
Also do you know where the pollution in Delhi comes from ? Have you actually read the IIT study done in 2019 or 2018 ? 70% of the source lies outside of Delhi and then there is the geography.
Indigo crisis should be blamed at the government. My only problem with you is somehow you think that Congress is going to get rid of bureaucratic corruption ? Really ?
It seems like you forget what Rahul gandhi is ? Or you think there is some other national party ?

Why do you always complain about India? We got it, it’s a shithole. If Rahul Gandhi takes over, it would become a paradise. Happy?!
