It’s easy to say:

“The Prime Minister is not right. The Chief Minister is corrupt. Politicians and bureaucrats are ruining the country.”

Yes, many in power have failed us. Corruption does exist—and it has certainly done damage. But is that the only reason for our nation's broken roads, delayed projects, or collapsing systems?

Let’s imagine:
If God appeared before me and granted me one wish—and I asked,

“From tomorrow, let every politician’s mindset be transformed to work selflessly for the nation.”

Do you believe the country would truly progress overnight? The answer is a clear and honest No.

Why? Because the real issue is not only at the top—it’s embedded at every level.

When a government announces a project worth ₹100 crores…
By the time it trickles through layers of departments, middlemen, contractors, and workers—
only 60–70% of the actual value remains, if not less.

At every level, someone justifies their cut:

• “The one above me took crores, I’m only taking lakhs.”
• “They took lakhs, I’m just taking thousands.”
• “They all did wrong, I’m just following suit.”

Eventually, the construction worker does a poor job, fully aware of it and points upward and says:
“What about them? They started it.”

And so, the system fails—not just because of one person.

So where exactly did we fail?

Perhaps, we forgot Karma Yoga—the sacred idea of doing one’s duty with sincerity, without attachment to reward, fame, or fear.

As the Srimad Bhagavad Gita teaches:

“Do your duty, even when no one is watching.
The Supreme Consciousness is always watching.”
