India is a unique country. On one hand, many people complain that our elected leaders don't listen or care about the needs of the people they serve. On the other hand, there's a valid concern that the bureaucracy is slow and inefficient.
But there are also high-profile examples that show a different side. In the early hours of May 19, 2024, two IT professionals on a motorcycle were tragically hit in Pune by a seventeen-year-old drunk driver behind the wheel of his wealthy and influential father's Porsche.
The crowd quickly caught the teenager and handed him over to the Yerawada police station. That same morning, Maharashtra MLA and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Sunil Tingre arrived at the police station. If his prompt action was meant to ensure justice, a thorough investigation, and punishment for the guilty, it seemed commendable. But what was his real motive?
According to Tingre, Vishal Agarwal, the accused teen's father, was his former employer. There are also allegations of call records showing conversations between Tingre and Dr. Taware, who is accused of trying to cover up the accident by tampering with the minor’s blood samples. Tingre had even recommended Dr. Taware for a promotion to the Maharashtra government. The circumstantial evidence seems clear, but the police claim there is no proof to suspect the MLA's involvement.

Meanwhile, as our democracy debates which leader and party can do the most for the underprivileged, around 20,000 people die every year from malaria, a disease that can be controlled. Every day, about 600 people get dengue, and West Bengal alone reports 68,000 cases annually.
Due to the lack of primary healthcare, the fatality rates are high in most cases. I'm sharing official statistics here, so you can imagine that the actual numbers are likely much higher. Tragically, about 300,000 children under the age of five die from diarrhea every year, mostly because they lack something as basic as oral rehydration solutions (ORS).
