GDP

Vietnam gives India a run for its money when it comes to building public places with near same per capita income. Sorry fellows. What is true is true. And what India lacks more than money is an urge to be a tidy place. Indians have gotten used to living in filth. Indian leadership don’t plan any public places - where people can hang out and enjoy. What is equivalent of Central Park/Hyde Park for Mumbai? What is equivalent of Hollywood hills? Mumbai has great surrounding and potential, but not accessible. Any great public park was either built by British or Mughals (with few exceptions). My usual rant: IAS & Judiciary has failed India. The service needs to be diluted with power distributed to 10 times more people (doesn’t India need jobs anyway?). The ratio of IAS, judges to population need to be brought to at least UK levels. We have many great people no point letting power in hands on a few thousand. “Vishwaguru”, “great culture” - how about learning basic civic sense first and being the worthy descendants of the great old civilization? (View from my hotel, will post more in coming days of “normal places’ that will give any Indian city run for its money). Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi are incredible at this income level. They also had 2 decades of war!
