it’s not just the government. that’s pretty much the response of any of the majority that voted for that government. it’s embedded into our culture.
pointing out a mistake is greater sacrilege than committing that mistake in the first place. press freedom is the lowest it’s been. and we have things like stand-up comics being arrested for “hurting sensitivities”.
the OP is right. we indians will always sweep info about our mistakes under the rug and this country, therefore, will never improve.
But there’s sooo many, ugh…
