A video shared by @IndiaNewGen has reignited discussions about civic sense and infrastructure development in India. Titled "Civic Sense of indian people," the video juxtaposes scenes of blatant littering and poor waste management with aspirational images of India's natural and infrastructural beauty.
The initial frames show individuals casually discarding garbage on the streets, with one woman in traditional attire throwing trash onto a pile near a fence, while others walk by seemingly indifferent. This stark portrayal is contrasted with later scenes of pristine landscapes, modern infrastructure, and cultural landmarks, labeled "Expectations of indian people," highlighting a significant gap between reality and aspiration.
The video's narrative progresses to emphasize the discrepancy between the current state of civic behavior and the envisioned future of a developed India. It captures moments where people are seen disposing of waste in public spaces, such as near water bodies and urban areas, juxtaposed with idyllic images of waterfalls, well-maintained roads, and bustling cities. This visual contrast serves to underscore the message that despite the potential for progress, the lack of civic responsibility hinders India's journey towards becoming a developed nation.
The post has sparked a range of reactions, with some users agreeing with the assessment that civic sense is a critical barrier to development, while others defend the progress made and question the generalization. Comments like "Why only indian Govt? When people will learn basic civic sense" and "Recently visited Colombo. A bankrupt country's capital is far ahead of every city in india in terms of civic sense, traffic control, infrastructure, cleanliness" highlight the broader discourse on governance, public behavior, and comparative development.
