Don’t we all know the condition of the Indian cities??
Govt. is doing what they are best at! Finding out as many new avenues on how to add as many commodities into the tax ambit. Whether you run in the gym, or have a snack or get a hair trim; for every little thing, you got to pay a tax. When are they going to start taxing for being fit and even breathe?
I couldn’t agree more with Osho who said that all this happens for a reason. The government does not want to improve the quality of life of its people, coz if the people started having a good life, they would become wiser and more aware. And with that awareness, they would demand for a better governance and make sure that they make it happen.
When everyday life is a struggle and it’s a maddening rush, who has the energy left to look into these important areas? Life is just a constant struggle.
Look at countries like Australia, Singapore and even Dubai.
Dubai is built on a desert and comprises of 70% Indians who have made the place so livable and prosperous. Governed by the visionary Sheikhs, they knew about their depleting oil reserves, so they got into so many other areas and made full use of the Indian minds and their work force
Australia is 4-5 times bigger than India and manages so well by such a small population. Go to any small town or a village and you would be surprised to see the quality of roads, footpaths, parks and other facilities. They still have their migration open to so many countries and with 100's of nationalities living in Aus; they continue to maintain those high standards of living.
None of our governments have cared for its people. I read it somewhere, when the British left India, one of their senior generals said that this country will be ruled by the mobs.
