3. How can I develop india??
• Vote - A large majority of India's urban youth are disillusioned with
politics and don't vote. If you want a change, be the harbinger of
that change. Don't just sit at home and complain.
• Read the newspaper (a real one, the Hindu maybe). Keep abreast
with the news, know what is happening in your country and have
an opinion about it.
• Stop watching only cricket and try out something else. There
arethousands of athletes out there in India playing their hearts out
hoping someone would sit up and take notice.
• Stop taking things for granted. You deserve better from the
government you voted to power. It is your duty to point out the
things you want changed.
• Don't pay bribes. Next time somebody asks you for a bribe don't
pay it, however much inconvenience it is going to cause.
• Switch off all electrical appliances before you leave the house.

4. • Control your road rage. Don't honk too much on the roads.
• Let your kids choose their lives, careers and life partners. You don't own
them. They know their dreams and aspirations better than you.
• Tolerate all religions. Stop believing in the caste system.
• Spend more money. Go on more holidays. You will be a happier person
and you will help the economy grow.
• Do something physical. Indians are notorious for being inactive. Go out,
play, jump off an airplane, scuba dive. But do something.
• Stop peeing anywhere and everywhere. The next generation is watching
and learning.
• Pay your taxes on time. Help the government to help you.
• Teach the less privileged. Join an NGO that teaches kids, elders or
anybody without access to schools. That is much more beneficial than
dropping money into a charity box to satisfy your conscience.

roads

5. Eradicate corruption
• Spend a few million rupees to design a very good website that has *all*
the government forms used in all the government departments. The site
has to be so intuitive that filling government forms should be a very
simple and straightforward process. Make it very easy to get this
accessible on mobile. If you do this well, you can eliminate the army of
bribe seekers outside the government offices.
• Create videos and test materials to enable a prospective driver to learn
the road rules in a simple, fun way. Every type of education can be made
fun. Let them learn the rules, and the pass the test for *FREE* (without
paying a bribe). Which Indian would not love things for free?
• Use analytics tools to analyze what the market prices of homes are. Most
of the real estate black money involves understating the sale price. Once
you build a strong analytics tool, it will be hard to understate price and
save the tax. Same for sales tax and others. Share this data openly on the
government website.

6. • Make credit card transactions more prevalent.
Subsidize the payment technologies so much
that people get incentives not to use cash.
Cash transactions are the source of half the
headache.
