What must India learn from the west?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
1. Keeping The Country Clean
India although making great strides with programmes like ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan’, lacks in a few areas. Public urination and spitting are still rampant, whereas in the west there are stringent laws for this and as a result, not a nuisance anymore. Besides that, in India we keep our homes in tip-top condition, but rarely think before littering in public. On the other side of the planet, the citizens there care for cleanliness everywhere.
2. A Few Tips on Education
India has done lots for the education of its children, but in the West public education is free for all, on par with private schooling, and even helps those out in need with meals. Counselling, guidance, and support are also present for those students who need it.
3. Saving Lives > Tamasha
I just don’t get this one. Whenever some incident is taking place in public, or perhaps an accident has occurred, people will crowd around it and just watch as the victims continue to get harassed, or bleed to death. But in the West, people have a very high value for life and as such their citizens rush to the aid of those in peril.
4. Dignity of Labour
In India, we tend to overlook the significance of all those workers working ‘small’ jobs. Without them we wouldn’t be able to live the way we do, yet they are forgotten. In the West, there’s no such thing as ‘small work’. Work is work. Labourers and other such workers are proud about their hard work which raises an honest sweat, and rightfully so.
5. Traffic Laws (Being Obeyed)
Traffic is inevitable. But one way of subsiding it as much as possible is to simply follow the traffic rules. While traffic laws are quite strict and enforced widely in the West, in India people just try cutting each other off so they can be like 10 ft ahead in a jam, which ends up causing more traffic. If India could learn to obey traffic rules like in the West, imagine what a breeze our roads would be.
6. That No One Is Above The Law
In the West, whether you are rich or poor, a celeb or a simpleton, the law is the law and it is the same for all. Big figures own up to their crimes and serve their punishment. Whereas in India, well, you know. *ahem*bhai*ahem*
7. Making The Country More Accessible For The Physically Challenged
Equality for all is held in very high regard there. And as such, provisions are made so that even the handicapped can access public (and most private) facilities. Be it transport, restrooms, or even simple things such as a ramp along with the stairs at the entrance of an establishment. India certainly tries, as malls and airports have such provisions, but as for day-to-day facilities like those mentioned above have little to no provisions for the physically challenged.
8. Punctuality
“Kidhar hai?”
“Bas 5 minute bhai”
*45 minutes later*
“Sorry bhai bahut traffic tha” (refer to point 5 )
“Suuuure.”
Indians are infamous for almost never being on time. Infact, IST should have another hour added to it as everyone is running an hour late. This a serious lack of professionalism when it comes to work, and a really insensitive waste of other people’s time. In the West people respect each others time and know how time and tide stop for no one. Furthermore, we’ve kind of accepted it at this point and so deadlines are almost never met, and public projects? Hahaha.
9. Taking Taxes Seriously
You know how every Indian talks in very high regard of any “foren” place. Well maybe our Bharat could reach there one day, only if everyone paid their taxes. What’s funny is that people actually complain of poor infrastructure and facilities, while not paying tax and still using them. WTF. Inn gore se kuch sikh lo, ghar ke bahar goo nikal jayegi.
10. Not Being Afraid To Talk About “Taboo” Subjects
In a country of more than a billion people, the thing we should least be worried about is saying the word “condom”. To add to that, we should be more open about many such topics, but we keep mum about them. Kyun? Freedom of speech hai, use karo! I found some irony in this; in the West people are less accepting, yet speak freely on such issues, whereas in India we are a very accepting kind yet we’re afraid to speak about periods, and what not.
