I grew up in India. In one of the major metros. And deterioration over the years was all too striking. I couldn't really put down finger on what snowballed it to such a state but materialism is definitely a big part of it. As a 10 year old, I used to walk for kilometres in ridge areas all alone. At 12-13, I have ridden bicycle to the most reclusive parts of the neighbourhood. And thought of something awful happening was in nobody's mind. Any of these activities would be unthinkable now. More and more people have poured into the cities. With political class elected by force and threats and educated being outnumbered and helpless by democratic disguise, I don't know what can remedy the situation.
