Founder Questions India's Lack of Progress Despite Global Travel
Imagine you visit your friend's house and see they have a really tidy room and always say 'please' and 'thank you'.
You think, 'Wow, that's great!'
So you go home and decide to clean your own room and start being more polite too.
But when India's leaders travel to other countries, they see nice things too, like clean cities and good roads.
They even send their own kids to study in those countries!
But, according to Priyesh Sharma, when they come back home, they don't seem to learn or try to make India better.
He feels like no one in charge is taking responsibility for problems like dirty air and messy cities.
He wonders why, if India taught the world so many things long ago, it can't seem to learn simple good habits now.
Founder Priyesh Sharma criticized India's leadership and bureaucracy for failing to learn from other nations and improve domestic conditions.
Sharma observed that many countries with historically worse situations are now progressing better than India.
He highlighted issues like widespread pollution, decaying cities, and a general lack of accountability among officials.
Sharma noted that Indian leaders, like citizens, admire foreign infrastructure but do not implement similar improvements back home.
He questioned why India, which has contributed significantly to global knowledge, cannot adopt basic positive practices observed abroad.
