What is our real problem?

Dear Jayamohan,

I was watching your video about life in the West and comparing it to life in India. India’s biggest problem is that we have a lot of people. A lot of people are suddenly moving from being poor to living a middle-class life, and they want to enjoy it. Sadly, there aren’t many places in India where we can go and have fun. This big crowd is going to the tourist spots. They have no training in civiv sense in their personal or public lives, and they don’t know how to enjoy life. They are taught to work hard, feed their kids, save money for them, and die. Now they know that there are some things in life that make them happy and that they can have them. Yes, this is a big problem in our public places, but we should still be hopeful that they will learn how to be happy and civilized one day. You should get used to it anyway. We should be very happy that India is getting out of its century-old poverty and moving toward a better life, with happiness as its main goal instead of just surviving.
