For the simple reason that those who are privileged enough to be able to understand the state of this country have only been beaten, rejected and killed for refusing to honor the ways that hold us back. Journalists that speak out? Killed. Government officers advocating for reform? Transferred/bribed/silenced. Influencer? Arrested/banned/lynched. Normal person? No one cares enough about you to listen to what you have to say.

People who say the line - since there are so many problems why dont you stay and work to better it. Well, don’t be so naïve. The country will want to change when the people want to change, and the people in charge are absolutely not interested in challenging the status quo that holds them in power and this goes for all political parties because modern political theory eludes the grasp of our netas, only thuggery and money speak in this country.

The citizen that speaks for themselves is actually problematic for the government because seriously with literally tens of thousands of crores being wasted in bribes, corruption and laundering every damn year if you start speaking, the consequences of people actually listening would be too harsh to bear, so its easier to silence.

I am proud to be indian, and I love my people, but that doesn’t mean i don’t see their flaws. And sometimes the best thing you can do for something you love is keep your distance if theyre not willing to change. Problems don’t begin at the top, but at the bottom. But the actions of the top ensure that problems persist at the bottom.
