After spending 10 years in the United States, the return of a Reddit user in India was anything but fluid. Sharing of a blunt account of life at home, the user, who goes through the username Suspiciously Ad1320Detailed a series of disturbing observations under the Subredit R / India which have since become viral. From air pollution to chaotic driving and widespread corruption, the post draws no blows to call the systemic problems of India.
“I have been in India for over a year now,” the author begins. “I had to go back when my H1B visa expired at the end of the six -year period, and I was dismissed without time on my visa.”
Adjustment is anything but easy. “Air pollution. I have developed breathing problems now, “notes the author, adding:” There is dust everywhere. People spit and urinate the streets. »»
Daily life is marked by what the author calls a lack of civic sense and discipline. “When an elevator door opens, people rush to enter instead of waiting for people inside to go out,” continues the post.
The author also slams a bad label of conduct and contempt for pedestrian safety. “People break the rules of traffic all the time, a really dangerous driving. No respect for pedestrians crossing the street. »»
What emerges the most is the criticism of the author of societal normalization of these questions. “When you raise these serious problems, you are labeled like Deshdrohi or you are said to get used to it,” deplores the post.
The diatribe did not stop on civic behavior. The author’s direct objective was to target the government. “A corrupt government scamming the local population for lakhs of believes and focusing on questions from the 16th century such as the Hindu Muslim instead of doing anything to develop India,” said the post.
Several users have sounded with sharp reactions, echoing the frustration expressed in the original post. A commentator wrote: “In a few words – no civic meaning.”
Another added: “The truth is that Indians in India do not realize how bad a system we have. We have normalized to have so bad that we do not even see what is wrong. Edit: I love India and there is no room like the house, but being an ostrich with your head in the sand does not really solve our problems. The first step to solve a problem is to recognize that a problem exists. »»
For many, the post struck a sensitive string – the daily frustrations of the slight light came to accept in the context of life in India.
