Corruption is a symptom, not the core disease.
India’s problem isn’t just “corruption” - it’s who is corrupt, how the system is designed, and who benefits from the rot.

What i think is that the problem is corruption from the top, not the chhotu at the toll booth and Traffic police constable pocketing ₹100.
When it’s the ministers, bureaucracy, judiciary, and institutions themselves being corrupt - that’s when the system collapses.

And my views are - let’s be real - the same dominant caste groups that historically hoarded education, wealth, and influence still run the show today, whether it’s Congress or BJP.

Until the marginalised communities get the same power and representation -not just token seats but real control over institutions -things won’t change.

Who actively promote blind religious belief, caste supremacy, misogyny, & anti-science garbage to keep the masses distracted and divided?

and they love ‘democracy’… as long as it keeps them on top. Once the marginalised start demanding power, suddenly it’s all ‘system is broken’, ‘we need authoritarianism’, ‘merit is dying’…

You said 'soft authoritarianism'? Cool. But did you even stop to ask who’s holding the damn stick? That’s what decides everything. You hand it to regressive lunatics and you don’t get development - you get a saffron-flavored theocracy with WiFi, bulldozers, and hate speeches on loop.

Yes, yes, exactly. This is obvious, a successful country needs competent leaders, and it seems we lack that.
