India's construction of an underground railway is a big achievement for Modi**, but is it in line with India's reality? A survey from the Indian Institute of Technology shows that India's underground railways are not as full of people as expected, and in some places the underground railways are not being cared for. How so? Does India hate taking the subway?
However, there are many problems with the underground railways in India, which makes them unable to adapt to the needs of the Indian people. First of all, India's subway** is ridiculously high, and for most Indians, taking the train is an expensive means of travel, so they prefer to take cheap buses and locomotives. Second, India's metro lines are not well designed, and many metro stations are far away from residents' homes and workplaces, so it will cost more money and time to switch to other modes of transport. Third, the security situation of India's underground railways is not good, and many subway stations and trains lack effective monitoring and security measures, which can easily cause law and order problems. Finally, India's underground rail system is quite backward, with many aging equipment, not being maintained and upgraded in a timely manner, and inadequate air conditioning and seating, which is very unpleasant for passengers.
Thus, instead of providing any practical benefit to the Indian people, the Underground Railway in India has turned into a resource drain and a burden. This is also a reflection of India's rapid development and low-quality economy. In the past decade, India's economic development has been rapid, and it is now the fifth largest economy in the world, and it is likely to surpass Japan and Germany to become the third largest economy in the world in the future. However, India's development has not benefited most of the Indian people, there is still a lot of poverty and injustice in India, and many Westerners still ridicule India for having only 100 million people, and the rest are called "livestock".
Next year, India will hold elections, and Modi will seek to be re-elected in his third term. Modi will certainly use his political record, such as building railways, but can he really convince the Indian people that India will be better under his leadership? This is a cause for concern.
