It isn't a problem that affects a single party, both the ruling BJP and the Congress have the same issues. The problem with BJP being our Dear Leader being rather illiterate and surrounded by "Yes Men". The man behind the demonetization was found out to be an individual with a PhD in Yoga. And of course, there's 2002.
The Congress being the Congress mired itself with a series of scams in it's second term, and thus began what Bannon calls the "start of the right-wing revolt".
A personal anecdote about the Congress: A cousin of mine once decided to run for the Lok Sabha but quickly changed his mind because he found out the Congress guy was bribing the poor people (of which there were a lot in his village) with bottles of Johnie-Walker from the past two elections. And ofcourse, it was easy for the said Congress individual to do so because the then Chief Minister was close to Ponty Chadha, the liquor baron with a monopoly in the state of Punjab, for which the CM went to Dubai unannounced [1].
You could write a multi-volume encyclopedia on the tales of the corrupt Indian Politician.
Unfortunately in most cities, Airtel (India's biggest ISP) has a monopoly and the other local cable providers either cut the cables for other ISPs or either simply steal them (it was/is a major problem for BSNL, the state-owned ISP).
>Maybe also room for a startup that could keep your train station free of rats, monkeys and feces and trash.
The trouble here is that the railway contracts usually go to people who throw in a bribe to the station-master and the higher ups in the Railway Board. And of course, the contractors don't do their jobs properly because, well, people gotta earn some money.

No one will dare question it because we have idiots for politicians and we are nowhere close to having a privacy law for our citizens.
Is VPN, Whonix, Tor (in essence compartmentalization) a good combination to escape their monitoring capabilities?
In India we have IMPS (sort of an instant transfer) which takes less than a second and costs Rs. 5 at a private bank (free at a public sector one).
I've been to Australia and transferring money to another account with the same bank requires just a mobile number.
