India is now the 4th largest economy in the world by GDP.
That is an achievement and deserves acknowledgment.

But headline GDP hides citizen-level reality.

Our GDP per capita remains low, which means the average Indian does not meaningfully experience this growth in daily life.

While we celebrate rankings:

– Rape and sexual violence remain a grave and persistent problem, with widespread underreporting and slow justice.
– Women’s safety in public spaces continues to be a daily concern, not an exception.
– Aravalli forests are being destroyed, increasing heatwaves, water stress, and air pollution in North India.
– Air and water pollution continue to shorten life expectancy in major cities.
– Public health infrastructure remains fragile relative to population size.
– Education quality is uneven, producing degrees faster than employable skills.
– Youth unemployment and underemployment remain structural issues despite demographic advantage.
– Informal labor dominates, leaving millions without job security or social protection.
– Arunachal Pradesh faces continuous strategic pressure, yet public debate remains shallow.
– Ladakh’s ecological, cultural, and democratic concerns fade once headlines pass.
– Urban infrastructure struggles with drainage, waste management, and basic planning.
– The rupee remains one of the weakest major currencies, reducing real purchasing power.
– Food safety and hygiene standards vary widely despite regulatory frameworks.
– Civic sense and public responsibility are still exceptions rather than norms.
– Judicial backlog and slow dispute resolution hurt both citizens and businesses.
– Cronyism and policy inconsistency discourage long-term trust and innovation.

A strong nation is not built on aggregate numbers alone,
but on per capita prosperity, safety, a clean environment, strong institutions, productive jobs, and responsible citizens.

Celebrating growth is healthy.
Confusing scale with development is dangerous.

Patriotism is not blind pride —
it is the courage to confront uncomfortable truths and demand better governance.
