Happy Diwali @HuXijin_GT! If anything Indian state capacity has had astonishing growth - though lot of services have lot of scope of growth For example; 33% of the county had insurgency (communist, religious etc). It has been vastly eliminated. Abject poverty has been eliminated. 80% population qualifies for free food should they want to avail it. You can argue protein content needs to grow. It will happen. Train and highway network has vastly improved; so have count of airports and sea ports. India has astonishing level of mobile internet coverage. The government spend on healthcare has grown. You can get stent in heart for less than 300 USD (or free, if you are below poverty lines) Due to Aadhar and digital payments delivery of government subsidy programs have vastly improved - eliminating corruption. Yes, India needs far more police; judges; trains, housing and education But, yeah abundance mindset is now gripping political elites and will have phenomenal results in next two decades. Politicians are proud to show off roads and metro lines they have built. Youngsters are demanding more and fighting for it. Every time I visit my parents, I am astonished to see new developments. The town did not have highway connectivity. Now two concrete highways pass by. There is a domestic airport with regular services. Ai will help a lot with education and health. Better days are ahead…
