Problems & Solutions

 

In India, whenever something goes wrong, we often hear familiar explanations like Its Karma or God wished it or Fate cannot be changed.

 

Problem solved. Nobody responsible. No counter questions asked.

Because if everything is destiny, then governance becomes optional.

 

But still someone has to be accountable, then comes the term “Act of God” it appeared first in 1581, in the landmark property case Wolfe v. Shelley.

 

But India has already created a system, who else could be held accountable ?

 

A bridge collapses? Karma.
No jobs? Fate.
Hospital has no oxygen? God’s plan.

At this point, accountability is probably an endangered species.

 

 

A student studies for years, gets a degree, learns coding, improves skills, and still cannot find work.

Society says: “Maybe luck is not supporting him.”

No uncle, maybe the economy is not supporting him.

 

Industries automate jobs, quality education remains inaccessible, skill gaps increase, and millions compete for limited opportunities.

 

But instead of questioning economic policy, we ask for “Kundali”.

Apparently GDP now depends on planetary alignment.

 

 

 

Food adulteration has become a competitive sport here.

Milk contains chemicals, Fecal coliforms (मल-मूत्र).
Spices contain colours that can probably paint the entire city.

Some ingredients banned abroad still happily enjoy Indian citizenship.

 

And where are food safety authorities?

 

Probably busy testing whether water is wet.

 

Weak inspections, corruption, and delayed action allow unsafe products into the market while citizens slowly become laboratory experiments. 

 

Test rules exist beautifully on paper. Like my New Year resolution. 

 

But when health problems appear & people die. 

Its God calling all the good souls.
& we don’t care if there was detergent mixed in turmeric or poison.

 

Dirty water spreads disease because sanitation systems fail, drainage is broken, and public health infrastructure is underfunded.

 

But instead of fixing pipelines, we organize motivational speeches about faith on weekends.

We will take time to understand, some diseases are not divine mysteries.

They are literally bacteria with government support.

 

 

Cities did not become polluted overnight.

Years of weak regulation, poor urban planning, and environmental neglect created air quality so dangerous that breathing now feels like chain-smoking.

 

Children develop respiratory problems.

Adults normalize coughing like it’s a personality trait.

 

Yet somehow pollution becomes part of modern life.

We never expect its as a policy failure.

Fuel prices rise.
Food prices rise.
Rent rises.
Stress rises.

 

Only salaries remain committed to simplicity.

 

Meanwhile, large corporations receive incentives, tax benefits, and policy support while ordinary citizens receive financial advice from relatives “Learn to adjust.”

 

India’s economy also feels like a “caste-based reservation system” 

Where middle class slogs & pay both direct and indirect taxes & crony capitalist enjoy favourable loans, government contracts and tax rebates.

 

 

India somehow manages both hunger and obesity simultaneously.

Many people survive on high-carb diets because protein-rich and healthy food is expensive or poorly understood.

 

Nutrition education is so weak that people know IPL statistics better than basic health science.

Then lifestyle diseases increase and society says it’s because of bad habbits.

Yes, because decades of poor awareness magically disappear through morning yoga WhatsApp forwards.

 

 

Hospital lacks beds.

Ambulance arrives late.
No oxygen supply.
Overworked staff.
Weak infrastructure.

Patient dies.

Society: “God called him.”

Convenient.

Nothing protects incompetence better than spiritual outsourcing.

A strong healthcare system saves lives.
A weak system creates avoidable deaths and then labels them destiny.

 

 

 

Parents now spend massive portions of their income on private education because trust in many government schools has weakened.

 

Education was supposed to reduce inequality.

Instead, it now comes with EMI options.

 

Parents are basically paying premium membership fees so their child can learn English with air conditioning.

Instead of blaming God or personal financial struggles, We should question the government about increasing the number of schools in every district, especially when the middle class is already paying substantial taxes.

 

 

Faith, spirituality, and religion help many people emotionally. That may be real or important.

But potholes are not repaired through meditation.
Pollution does not disappear through bhajans.
Adulterated food does not become organic after prayer.

Human-made problems require human-made solutions.

Many problems are connected to policy failures, weak enforcement, corruption, poor planning, inequality, and public apathy.

 

But societies improve only when citizens ask uncomfortable questions government, demand accountability. 

Instead of treating every preventable problem as God’s wish or Karma.

As long as hero worship and blind religious worship continue in India, governments will keep taking advantage of people.
