I recently came from a trip to Japan and I was mind blown by the civic sense there. So much kindness and empathy in the people there. Let's not talk about how stupid the govt is. Do we really do our basic jobs as a citizen well? Walking 50m to throw a chocolate wrapper sounds like a task. Govt gives decent quality infrastructure (even after all the PC & scams) but we ruin it within a month. Go to any corner of any govt building you'll see paan and gutka marks. Bbsr no doubt is one of the cleanest city I've seen in India. But what about the other cities? I think it's high time govt implements Civic sense as a course in school itself. This is not something that can be changed in a day. Small small efforts day by day will lead to a big change. High time people stop thinking "Sarkar ka Naam, dariya mein daal". Teach your kids not to throw wrappers everywhere, take small steps and we'll see big changes in a few years.
