Man, it's unfortunate that you have a plethora of answers with t=15 years.
India's improved tons.
I'm not as grey bearded as I should be, I remember the 1980s.
India has come a damn long way.
Politics has improved pretty significantly. "Booth capture" and "license raj" we're actual things, not the bogey men that most people blithely quote.
Vyapam is scary to me because it's a throw back to those times.
We've gone through three major insurgencies, and multiple terror organizations which had destabilized entire states.
What we seem to really have a glut of now is a lot of literate people, but with very little education. (Ie - ability to apply their knowledge in new and novel ways to new and novel situations + willingness to learn more in depth)
The economy has shifted dramatically since the 90s. I've seen a period where there was a wait for phone lines (and 7 digit numbers), to a period where we have more mobiles than people.
India is a marvelously and infuriatingly complex country, the fact that it hasn't imploded itself is step 1.
