This public company's criminal levels of incompetence single-handedly caused an instant international disaster, and continues to fail us all.

Speaking as a citizen, ignoring "all those bloody foreigners amplifying this on social media" for a (very very brief) moment to dwell on (suppresses gag reflex) ideological "national security" rhetoric which these people no doubt kowtow to (eMudhra's head honchos and board, the central ministry MeitY etc.)...

How have they not proactively taken out all stops to fix this already in their own house? On a national-disaster-scale emergency footing, which this is!

India suffers from a widespread yes-man culture. Nobody asks questions, everyone claims to understand everything, the reality is they have no clue. Everything that happens, happens for kowtowing and ritual reasons, not because of understanding of what needs to be done and why.

India is largely a cargo cult. Not to the same extent of removedness from reality, but much more widespread and commoditized.

there is some truth to it but work culture is not "indian" its mostly product of socialist policies. True Indian nature is actually quite argumentative and asking lot of questions. same person would ask many questions when seeping tea with his colleagues but at work nature is changed. its mostly derived from survival rather than normal organic response and also inability to-do something about thousands of problem he has observed daily

Really interesting response. Is there really just “one” Indian work culture? India is this massive diverse place; surely there’s going to be very different work culture from workplace to workplace?

India is so big that, you can not claim this for everyone in India. Counterexamples:

They did great for their time.

Glory of the past doesn't exempt the incompetence of the culture present now.

Good point, your 4 Wikipedia links totally disprove the trend.

If a trend can be established by one data point, surely it can be countered by four?

As an Indian, I really wish if this were true...
