Clueless parliamentarians of India
China talks about its dominance in the EV industry. China talks about trains that run at 350 km/h. China talks about building more mega cities. China talks about software developed at home. China talks about how it reduced pollution in industrial towns.
India is still debating whether Nehru would have been a better PM or Sardar Patel. Whether Veer Savarkar was a hero or not? Whether Congress insulted Ambedkar or was it the BJP. India keeps going on and on about how great our civilization was 5000 years back.
The window is short, and millions of Indians are aspiring for a better life. It cannot be delivered by living in the past. The discussions in parliament are completely divorced from the real problems that people have in their lives.
Pollution is killing. Urban-infra is crumbling. Inflation is painful. Jobs are scarce. National security issues aplenty. None of these problems are going to be solved by living in the past. Parliamentarians needs to wake up, and smell the coffee. more
