They consider government to be a benevolent entity that can do no wrong. Anything produced by the “gor-mant” is automatically better than one that is produced by private means. They believe this without question even as evidence to the contrary abounds.

It used to be that in the capital city of New Delhi, one would need to wait 5 years to get a telephone number from MTNL, the “gor-mant” monopolist telecom supplier. Compare this to the current situation where private telecom has met the needs of Indians in overabundance. Still, Indians have not taken the lesson. They still view “gor-mant” to be the better supplier of service.

As the author of this article has said
“The condition of government run schools is pathetic because they are run by the government in the first place. Look around and notice the pathetic condition of various things government has the control of e.g., Banking, Police service, healthcare, education, defense, you name it. “
