"How did we get here?" Is a very pertinent question that everyone asks themselves be it LW, RW, Dharmic or a Centrist (& the many more in between)
The seeds of whatever is happening today weren& #39;t sown yesterday but at least more than a decade ago!

If the PSUs are all mismanaged and India is a bad place to do business in, it is because of the word "socialist" which was forcibly incorporated into the preamble which initially wasn& #39;t a part of the constitution at all!!
If there is a parallel economy which operates in India it is because of the Constitution which only looks at disciplining the "Brown" man and not empowering him (read the India Act 1935) and the "Brown" man has turned rebellious and wants to operate outside it& #39;s purview.
If there are 40GW of power plants that are in NCLT, it is because of inverted duty structure, loose lending policies and regulatory oversight. The change in policies of the Indonesian govt added fuel to the fire.
If the government is juggling around with PSUs and is raising taxes in many areas it is because of the FRBM Act which stipulates that the deficit shouldn& #39;t be more than 3% of GDP! In a country like India we can afford 7-8% deficit because of the consumption potential!
If there is a Hindu revival over the last 8 years it is because the mainstream Hindu civilisation went underground for the last 70 years as "secularism" took over and slowly gained traction since 1987.
If Mohandas Gandhi is being critiqued now it is because all halos are being questioned. Rama can be questioned, Jesus can be questioned, Muhammed can be question why not Gandhi!!?
So, whatever is happening now is a sumproduct of what happened decades ago and the civilisational cooker has to release it& #39;s pressure! This is the age of reason and if you cannot embrace just close your eyes and life is good! Or be a part of it and learn!!
