If I were to pick two things out of his 10 that I find absolutely correct:
1. No access to historical documents 2. Neglect for the environment:
Paranoia About Maps (I wanted to become a cartographer and gave up the idea thanks to the near zero possibility of an entrepreneurial opportunity in India in the field), No Photographs and No access to historical documents stem out of a paranoid sense of insecurity in the Indian governance system.
Historically, Indians abused history. We are the worst recorders of history. All the major historical investigations were conducted in India by the British. Indian contribution to history is hagiographic paens to kings like Prithviraj Raso or Ain-e-Akbari. We have no rightful claim to historical studies. Neglect of environment is widely visible. Bad sanitation in cities is especially a clear indicator. Environmental concern is imbibed in Hinduism (Vriksho Rakshati Rakshitaha) and yet the government never enforced environmental safeguard apart from mild messages on TV and railway stations. None of the Indian rivers contain water that is potable. All lakes in India are polluted. Priorities are mixed up.
