this completely ignores the massive progress made by india mostly in the last four years on the cleanliness drive, making toilets available to most households to prevent open defecation, electricity and internet link up to all villages, massive jump in mobile data consumption, doubling the road length laid per day, switching the poor from coal and wood stoves to gas, switching massively to led lights, huge push in solar power, connecting up the national electricity grid, hugely stepping up building airports and city metros, massive spread of banking and cards to all households, massive program of health insurance to 500 million people, massive reduction in corruption and wastage of gov funds by direct benefit transfer and subsidy programs, big jumps in ease of business rankings, huge reforms of the indirect tax system and removal of transport and logistics hindrances etc
- ameen 8y agoYour handle says it all - I hate Taj Mahal BBC, and your comment reads like a bullet list from a government apologist. Addressing basic needs are not massive progress, the government is expected to do these things in response to the growing taxation, it's not a favor but their duty. India's whole problem is mismanagement and corruption, and the current culture placing profiteering over everything else and the parent explains these very issues.

- neilsense 8y agoBut you realise that actually doing things like this versus the expectation that it is their duty to do it is progress right? For a country like India where a million things need to be balanced every day, and governments of both parties have come and gone without tending to these basic needs, it's a good thing that there as been progress. Life isn't black and white, you can't discount some good because of something you don't like on the other side (whether you're right or wrong).
