it’s not just the government. that’s pretty much the response of any of the majority that voted for that government. it’s embedded into our culture.

pointing out a mistake is greater sacrilege than committing that mistake in the first place. press freedom is the lowest it’s been. and we have things like stand-up comics being arrested for “hurting sensitivities”.

the OP is right. we indians will always sweep info about our mistakes under the rug and this country, therefore, will never improve.
