An uncomfortable reality check for every Indian citizen.
We love blaming the government. For bad roads, dirty streets, corruption, pollution, unemployment, unsafe cities, rising prices and almost everything that goes wrong in this country.
And honestly, sometimes the government deserves every bit of criticism it receives.
But here’s a question we rarely ask ourselves:
Are we really doing our part as citizens, or have we made blaming the government our only responsibility?
India has more than 1.4 billion people. We cannot expect a country of this size to change simply because one political party comes to power, one minister makes a promise or one new law is introduced.
The government has responsibilities. But citizenship comes with responsibilities too.
We demand a better India while refusing to change some of the habits that make India worse.
