Why does India look like this? Is it possible for india to clean up?
there's just so much disarray
>>220284510This makes Brazilian slums look first world
>>220284608I wouldn't go that far but they certainly are less populated than india's streets
>>220284510It looked cleaner in the past when there were less people. Also when the government was more socialist oriented. They need big government oversight and regulations to force people into acting right and not laissez faire liberalism.
>>220285169I disagree. the top down nature of indian government is one of the big reasons it fails. something like half of all government funding in india is federal. the federal government controls EVERYTHING while the state and local governments are weak. how can a local municipality control it's cleanliness and road infrastructure if they depend on federal government funding and oversight to do so? it's a system that is designed to fail, it doesn't encourage strong leadership at any local level
>>220285082>church>local to place fresh fruits>kino view>walkablelet me guess, you need MORE?
>>220285254Is Brazil trying to improve its favelas right now btw?
>>220286129i don't think that's even possible
>>220285234This guy gets it, local governments are basically non existent, power is consolidated in the hands of a single District Magistrate, a state government civil servant, and even the Mayors have zero powers and largely ceremonial, with real municipal authority in the hands of a civil servant, a Municipal Commissioner, basically we changed very little of the British local administration system built for extraction and exploitation Also look up parastatal institutions unique to India like district development authorities
>>220287479Those things exist because India is too corrupt and they basically think the solution is to create more and more institutions so that they could keep each other in check (it largely doesn't work)
>>220287827India is a patchwork of state interests, but from a purely social darwinist point of view, chuds here should celebrate the overly corrupt bureaucrats because they're ubermensch or something for qualifying the civil service exam, and they deserve all the ill gotten monies, which can often be in hundreds of millions of dollars, and this is just the permanent civil servants, ministers make in billions each term
