Grew up during licence raj and got to work during the 1990s during the explosion of jobs. Wrote exams when competition was at an all-time low due to mass immigration of majority of richfags abroad and dehatis lack of participation. Got to marry virgin trad wives from their district from marriages brokered by parents. Hell, even the streets were cleaner and emptier 30 years ago compared to now. Housing was cheap as fuck outside maybe Bombay/Delhi.

People who yearn for the past era are usually losers. If you are a loser now, you would likely have been one back then as well. No, life wasn't easier. No, success has never been easy to get. Stop attributing the success of your predecessors to luck.

Lol don't be fooled by retarded pictures and media - in fact gen x was the most deluded one. People blame bjp for kanging but it was congress which pushed the psyops of muh golden bird, psyoping through bollywood, entire country was deluded that somehow other people were in awe of this place.

And now coming to license raj, kekekekekek bhaiii, the congressis who cry about cronies literally pioneered cronies like bajaj who are dalal to this day. People had to do sipharis to get as simple as TV, scooters.

Half the india was street shitting in 2014, electricity connections, internet connections, infra in general was fucked up. People just don't understand how bad congress has been. These guys had defacto control of entire nation for 6+ decades and they did zilch.

You are just being deluded by fake memories you have created ananwa. Past was worse than we can imagine.

Kek one of the least said thing about congress era is how fucked up average indian was psyops. Nobody even talks about it. And people forget how much control media - movies etc. used to have on the 'feelings, perception' of culture in the past. Now it's not the case due to proliferation of smartphones and internet.

But imagine all people had one source tv, which was psyoping them with feel good juice 24x7.

to add upon these most of the people are not from these background, they grew up and saw their rise later post liberalization.

If i had to put my money i would say late 90s and even 2000s were very optimistic - solely on the vibe and the fact that liberalization opened the actual flood gates leading to actual upliftment of lots of people ever in the history of this country since independence.

IT Boom was another thing..

This bull run was going on till you can say upa 1 and by upa 2 shtf and then we got 2014 since when half the effort was done to provide the very basics which should have been done in those 6 decades, then navigating through one catastrophe over another. We are doing well way better...

I think next few years are gonna be difficult but golden cut off is around 2027 - if there's no major war. Post 2027 india would be the most kino times which would carry on for say 2032 or so - then it will be a bit of plateau.

Lol u dont even know that most of the economic liberalisation was started under congress only, it was a systematic plan to gradually open up India

Economic liberalisation in India began in 1980 under the Sixth Five Year Plan and Operation Forward initiated by Indira Gandhi. This liberalisation was less comprehensive than the 1991 New Economic Policy, however it is false that liberalisation suddenly began in 1991.

IMF has forced not just India but many developing nations to open their market. This is not out of goodwill, but an agenda of the western nations to exploit the resources and markets of developing nations after the old imperialism was defeated. You can read Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine to learn more. BJP is just reaping rewards of whatever little development managed to reach India. In short, no, India isn't significantly better now than compared to past

Bhai congress ke chaprasi it was PVNR and ABVP who matter. Let's not ignore that India was literally forced by IMF and we were completely bankrupt.

PVNR was later sidelined by the guess who? Gandhis. Complete disrespect to him.

It was atal who further bought policies which banked on the liberalization.

The bull run caused by his government carried UPA - 1 easily but due to the failure of congressis UPA 2 was disaster.

Every good leader in congress was sidelined because one the Gandhi family.

Wow saaar because we were sochalist sochalaya utopia for 6 decades with zero exploitation. If you force enough you can term anything exploitation - muh IT services, industry everything.

Lmaoooo BJP is the reason why even basics things had to be pushed after 2014 - if your sochalist sochalaya state couldn't even build toilets in 60+ years of rule maybe you should admit that you dropped the ball.

This is the state of conspiracytards that they are so up in the ass that they have lost the sense of reality.

>Past was worse than we can imagine

Yaar heendu let me give you an example. In 1990 only 70k people registered for IIT-JEE. Even if only 5 IITs were there that is at least 7-10k seats which means one in every 7 people got in. Furthermore, if you reduce the total pool by half to filter out the people who didn't study or didn't appear that makes it 35k. If literally 20-30% of people who wrote the exam got in, how does that make it worse than nao when you have to blaady get 75% in boards first, then write a gay exam for qualifying and finally get to write Adv?

>psyoping them with feel good juice 24x7

All people aren't necessarily 80 iq bhangis yaar. We had problems in the 90s too, Yadavs collectively took a shit on the entire state and infra of Bihar. But generally the streets, public buses were much cleaner then.

Anyway i have sochalist views too - i consider manufacturing backed economy has long gone meme of nothingburger.

We should automate everything, create well paying and good working environment wherever we need humans.

Bring UBI cuz no matter what we say or do, there will be joblessness.

But atleast this way our people won't be working like slaves, we can actually produce and bring abundance and with those money we can have support for UBI.

Of course in current scenario - we are seeing that countries like USA are doing exactly that and it will result in chaos for developing countries - cuz they can't just sustain based on exports soon. China route is gone in a decade at best.

Countries that got independence from western powers looked up to the Soviet Union as an alternative. The Soviet Union had made great progress in its early years by uplifting millions out of poverty, providing good quality education and housing to everyone, winning the world war etc. they even sent a man to the space before USA.

Many countries became communist countries. India, though, officially followed a "centrist" approach, was mostly socialist. India had great successes with mimicking five year plans. We have had some good successes like the green revolution, white revolution, industrialisation, establishment of IITs, IIMs, and other institutions. It was kind of okay under Nehru. India probably did better than China at this time.

Then Shastri died while in office. He had free market ideas. Even now, BJP is only socially right wing. Fiscally, it is left wing compared to western standards.

>Lmaoooo BJP is the reason why even basics things had to be pushed after 2014 - if your sochalist sochalaya state couldn't even build toilets in 60+ years of rule maybe you should admit that you dropped the ball.

There was no political need because all parties agreed that the socialistic approach was best.

All domestic companies wanted the status quo because they had their monopolies guaranteed by government regulations and there was no competition.

Well the failure is in the fact that our cities were not improved - our municipalities dropped teh ball - not gonna defend that and agree on this.

But overall metro services, infra is seeing improvements drastically so i have more hopium.

>Delusional. I live in the poorest fucking state of India and have never seen anyone doing this even in villages. What part of kangludesh do you think India was?

yaar anon street shitting means not on street but open defecation in villages was very common, in cities not so much. But majority of population was in villages so there's that.

>>293141

>competition was lesser in exams etc.

agree on this - basically early movers in every field has advantage - due to less competition. that only means that most of the indian was already stuck - so those early movers don't represent the most - for most it was fight for roti kapda and makan - in literal sense.

>All people aren't necessarily 80 iq bhangis yaar. We had problems in the 90s too, Yadavs collectively took a shit on the entire state and infra of Bihar. But generally the streets, public buses were much cleaner then.

Another reason for cleaner cities etc. was agree that lesser migration, our population was half of what it is right now.

But as pointed out earlier, most of the 'happy' memories are from the elites of the past who actually had better lives but not the most people on average.

It's sad that fall of USSR happened - but our commies have only known worshipping and being retarded about India. It can be said that the ussr commies arose to serve the interest of their nation but indian commies were psyop'd leading to them having delusion of serving foreign interest = serving india. Whatever.

This is the end result of a movement which is not borne out of India. Rather planted.

Due to extra population the competition got worse, cities saw lot of immigration. The failure of city infra lead to absolute state of what we see today.

But i think it's just passing issue and will get taken care.

I personally think Indian millennials had it better. They are truly the most blessed generation. Just having a degree was enough to make a fortune for yourself. If you're born between 1985-1995 period, it's likely you had the best opportunities you ever had. By the time they joined workforce in 2010s, IT industry was booming and positives of liberalisation started to kick in.

I would say that's the worst thing that happened to India imho. Indian rulers from their glass building view were only focused on the goal that they invested heavily in higher education to reach there faster that it only churned out glorious H1B immigrants that will enrich the mutts and europoors paid by taxpayer money.

While primary education got ignored and rural development was considered an after thought. As much as I hate commies here one good thing they've done is to not ignore the basics and focus on primary education and rural development that I don't see much difference between living in the capital and in my tier 3 small town.
