Future Depends on Responsibility, Not Entitlement

India today is not suffering from a lack of vision or resources.

Future Depends on Responsibility, Not Entitlement

A NATION BUILT, YET UNDERMINED Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, the government has delivered sweeping reforms, built world-class infrastructure, enabled digital inclusion at scale, and positioned India as a formidable global power. Whether it's defense, manufacturing, health tech, or financial inclusion, the architecture for a modern India has been decisively laid down.

Yet, despite this momentum, every market correction, job loss, or industrial underperformance is met with the same tired reflex: blame the government. This knee-jerk response is not only intellectually dishonest—it is actively sabotaging the nation's progress. The real drag on India's growth is not policy paralysis, but execution paralysis. The problem lies not in governance, but in a widespread culture of dependency, complacency, and entitlement.

This analysis aims to shift the spotlight where it belongs: on the institutions, industries, and actors that continue to underperform despite unprecedented support. PM Modi Has Delivered—It's Time for India to Break Free from Entitlement and Embrace True Governance!

DEFENSE SECTOR: WHEN FUNDING ISN'T THE PROBLEM, BUT VISION IS India's defense allocation for FY 2024-25 stands at 6.2 lakh crore, ranking it among the top three military spenders in the world. Out of this, 1.72 lakh crore is earmarked specifically for capital acquisitions—marking an unambiguous commitment to self-reliance and modernization.

The policy intent is crystal clear: 500+ items have been embargoed from import to boost domestic production. Aatmanirbharta in defense is no longer a slogan—it is national policy backed by serious investment.
