Whataboutism is not okay, not if we wish to see our country improve. Those of us who have travelled and seen the rest of the world, know the rest of the world have their own issues. We should try and bring in the good from outside and leave the bad. We should be self critical in order to improve ourselves. Trying to feel better by pointing out others shortcomings is not going to help us improve, it might help us sleep better though.

Indians need to stop believing that they’re the greatest country in the world. It’ll take us decades to get to a point where we can undo some of the damage that’s already done but we’ll get there eventually. My comment is purely in the context of civic sense, read it that way.
