the absolute state of our city infras. African cities with half the pci have better walkable infra.
The realization that Delhi with major river passing through it has 'water scarcity' at moments.
And people, babus, politicians unserious about the state of our cities.
FSSAI failing with brands selling substandard shit.

African, Afghan, etc. Cities look good because they don't really utilize them.
Indians utilize cities to their fullest (and overuse them).

That's true too but not an excuse, we should improve the system to meet the demands. It's not that we can't do it. In this very board we have examples of Pune society which created walkable infra, greenary and all.
Then there are sarkari stuff.

there are machines which they can clean, there's no support for specially abled people. entire surrounding invokes a complete lack of apathy towards the human life, its dignity.

Chalta Hai India: When ‘It’s Ok!’ is Not Ok by Alpesh Patel is a critical examination of the pervasive Indian mindset encapsulated by the phrase “Chalta Hai”—meaning “It’s okay” or “Let it be.” The book explores whether this attitude, often seen as a cultural trait, is hindering India’s progress and its potential to become a global power.
Patel traces the roots of this mindset through India’s three-thousand-year cultural, ideological, and political history, analyzing its impact across key sectors like infrastructure, education, sports, and cinema. He contrasts India’s past global dominance—when it held 30% of the world’s GDP—with its current status as a developing nation, questioning if the Chalta Hai attitude is ingrained in the national psyche or merely a habit that can be changed.
The book presents evidence of widespread complacency—such as poor road discipline, substandard public services, and lack of quality focus—while also highlighting exceptions of excellence. It argues that while jugaad (frugal innovation) emerged from necessity during India’s socialist era, it has now become a justification for mediocrity. Patel concludes with actionable suggestions to overcome this mindset and drive national transformation.

There are no consequences for people not doing their jobs or doing them badly.
So people who lie cheat and steal, technically are rewarded and honest ones are idiots.

Its improving in cities where BJP has a stronghold.
A political party is motivated by its voters priorities. If Bhangilore Congress wins due to Muslim votes from Bangladeshis , then you see more of that and less of development.

i see changes but in limited sections thanks to smart city, it was a good scheme they should have iterated upon and moved further instead of shutting it down.

Why smart cities failed ? Because before it is smart, it needs basic infra. Like water and electricity. Most cities used SMART funds for that.
Not to mention at a Municipal level, curroption is so high that most of the money is lost.

Reform starts at Municipal level. The cleaners and others who get contracts, do their jobs. Police reforms are implemented. Laws are actually implemented.
Most of this is too boring for most people. But this is real progress. Crores on big infra is just white washing the real rot.

it's a misnomer who fall for 'smart' part. in fact it focused on lots of basics - garbage disposal, waste management, walkable infra, using tech to track offenders etc. there's more details in the documents in cpg of infra check there.
