At a deeper level, what brings abt these probs in India? 1.Over-population-the prime cause of all troubles. Too many people wanting the same facilities. With complete lack of social security, indvs get sucked in by politicians who only seek to divide and rule. Leads to fragmentation based on caste, politicians take advantage of these poor people & promise to take care of their particular caste's interests, leading to further divisions. There are only so many school seats in good schools. With so many vying for them, the ills of interviews, donations creep in. Lack of good education makes it even more difficult for the masses to raise themselves above pettiness and honesty is the first victim. Everyone wants to have his share of the pie so the poor come to Mumbai & squat on the roads leading to filthy slums. Good for the authorities, they fill their pockets and allow these offenders to continue. Where there is so much poverty, corruption has to come in. 2.There's religion & there's superstition in India. No spirituality. Religion is performing rituals and appeasing Gods. That's all. What's the meaning of integrity? Bet most Indians haven't a clue.
