SharpEdge: Our cities are paralysed during monsoon because of urban failures caused by political corruption

'We get very angry when rain disrupts our lives and brings our cities to a halt, but by the time the elections come around, we have forgotten how angry we were. Rarely, if ever, do these urban failures or the corruption and political ineptitude that lead to them swing an election. We vote instead for caste, for religion or for some conception of national interest. Governance simply does not matter. Politicians know this. So even as we rage and vent as we have been doing over the last few weeks, they chuckle to themselves and go back to counting their money. In the old days, they would at least offer token apologies. Now they don’t even bother to do that. They just announce that schools will close for two days or urge us to work from home. And we let them get away with it. So let’s not blame politicians alone. Let’s ask ourselves why we don’t demand more accountability from them.' says Author & ThePrint Columnist Vir Sanghvi.
