It is very easy to comment on situations sitting in confortable places in US or Japan. If these guys have stayed in Mumbai these guys know very well how our government machinery works and what kind of struggle people have to go through to get simple things done. If you say this is a governance problem, do you think it is right? Elections come and governments change but the governance continues the same way.
To understand the problem you have to understand the root problems of modern India. The biggest problem in today's India is illiteracy and population growth, which is growing at an alarming rate. This is causing havoc in all spheres of life. People are not getting jobs, basic amenities like food, shelter and clothig. Small towns and cities are not able to cope with the ever increasing demand for these amenities. Not able to get anything people are migrating to big cities like Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai. Now all resources in these cities are under pressure. There is such heavy overload on the limited resources in the cities that people are ready to do anything and pay anything to get what they want. There is inflation. Those who are not able to cope with the inflation are succumbing to the temptations of corruption and accepting the underhand money and are allowing corrupt practices to thrive. So we have illegal practices and anarchy going around in the cities.It is a vicious circle where one thing leads to another and the whole society is going down into the deep graves of stagnation and decomposition.
