What Are We Contributing?

 Why does it feel like India lacks scientists and innovation? What real contributions are we making to the nation or the world?

More importantly, why do we keep saying "we"? 
As citizens, we are already contributing through taxes, efforts, and patience. 
Our tax money is the capital for national development, and every citizen, regardless of income level, pays their share. 
In a democratic country, we have every right to question the state of development in certain areas.

So "we" are doing our first part, next the state, then again we need to revie and question.
Yes, still the spine or the fourth pillar to be rational rather than propagandist.

There should be decentralization of wealth to ensure fair social and economic progress. No one should be discriminated against, because everyone contributes, just in different proportions.

But what do we often see instead?
Emotional revenge, not civic sense.
Religious vigilantism, not social responsibility.
Blind devotion misused to justify violence and crime.
Corruption is not just financial: There's moral corruption—where values collapse. Social corruption—where injustice is ignored.

Sadly, hatred spreads faster than awareness. Many follow cultural or religious practices like vegetarianism but fail to uphold basic ethics, empathy, or social consciousness. Festivals like Holi often become excuses for reckless behavior, with no regard for fellow citizens or the environment.

This isn't just a political issue. Hypocrisy runs deep in society, especially among those who aggressively preach devotion while silencing scientific thinking and rationality.

Still, somehow, the nation moves forward—even if corruption oils the wheels. But imagine if we could move forward without hate. 
If we actually worked together, India could grow just like Europe, where visible border conflicts are minimal and the focus is on progress.

India should aim for better relations with neighbors, less political drama, and more focus on education, scientific research, and infrastructure. People's taxes must serve everyone equally. The central government should treat all states fairly—no biased narratives, no targeted politics.

Nationhood means unity, not uniformity.

Let’s not divide our nation in the name of pride, religion, or propaganda. Let’s build a society that values truth, science, and shared growth.
