Recently, the city of New Delhi in India has been in the spotlight, and it all started with a "garbage storm" triggered by the Danish ambassador to India, Fred Swan.
Fred Swan, the emissary from Denmark, couldn't stand the mountains of garbage and building debris scattered everywhere in New Delhi.
He captured the staggering scene on camera and posted a video on social media in which he complained: "Welcome, great, green, garbage New Delhi!" ”
The video is like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves. After the video was exposed, the comment area instantly boiled, and the comments of netizens poured in like a tide.
Some people say that India's sanitation is really bad, and it can't be compared with China's urban health; Others joked that the Danish envoy was still talking lightly, and the bigger garbage heap had not yet been discovered.
What's more, this is still a big city in India, and our countryside is several times better than this. The words full of humor and irony make people smile wryly and can't help but be deeply worried about New Delhi's environmental problems.
And this is not just a discussion about garbage, but also a review of Indian society. Some people have mentioned that there is open defecation in India, and it can be said that you can see the real India at the airport.
This makes one wonder, are they used to it? Or is it called "clean" in their eyes? Is there a deeper problem behind this?
Having said that, this Fred Swann is really brave enough, and his actions are undoubtedly "groundbreaking on Tai Sui's head". But it is precisely because of his bravery that this issue is exposed to the public eye.
However, his actions have also sparked some controversy. Some people say that he is deliberately finding fault and disrespecting India; But some people believe that he is speaking out for the improvement of the environment, which is commendable.
So, is he a hero or a troublemaker? It's hard to say. As the incident unfolded, the Indian side could not sit still. On the same day, a special clean-up staff was dispatched to clean up the accumulated garbage.
That's pretty fast, but it's only a superficial problem, so what about the garbage elsewhere? Do you have to wait for a video to be exposed every time and a foreigner comes to complain before anyone takes action?
This is reminiscent of the Chinese slang: "A headache heals the head, and a sore foot heals the foot." "Can this approach of treating the symptoms but not the root cause really solve the problem?
More worryingly, this incident may be just the tip of the iceberg. How many hidden environmental problems are there in New Delhi?
We don't know. But what is certain is that this is no longer a simple health problem, but involves deep-seated contradictions in urban management, social concepts and many other aspects.
At the same time, we cannot ignore the impact of Fred Swan's actions. His videos allow us to see a different side of the world and also make us reflect on the environment in which we live.
Perhaps we should learn from this incident and cherish the beauty we have more, and at the same time, we should pay attention to those neglected corners and contribute to the improvement of the environment.
India has always cherished the dream of becoming a great power, but its road ahead is full of bumps and doubts, and some time ago "U.S. News & World Report" kicked India out of the top ten powers in the world.
India, a country that considers itself as as strong as China, has long been confident in its own strength. India under the leadership of Modi seems to be somewhat similar to China a few decades ago.
They attach great importance to the ranking of the comprehensive national strength of the Western media, and also have high hopes for the sports achievements of Indian athletes, hoping to enhance the national pride.
But reality has dealt them a heavy blow, and India has not only been kicked out of the top 10 powers, but also lagged behind many countries in the rankings, which is difficult for many Indians to accept.
So, what is it that makes India's position so awkward on the international stage? First of all, the two items in the evaluation criteria, "economic influence" and "strong army", have become India's soft underbelly.
Although India's economy has developed to a certain extent in recent years, there is still a big gap between it and the world's major powers.
Its economic structure is irrational, its development momentum is insufficient, and its exclusion from the regional economic integration agenda will have a profound impact on it in the coming decades.
In terms of military affairs, although India has a large army, it is not highly modernized and has limited combat effectiveness, which makes it difficult to compete with a real military power. The Indian government lacked the courage to reform and open up, and the whole country did not experience a real revolution.
Issues such as decentralization, land privatization, and the caste system are like shackles that have hampered India's development, making it difficult for it to achieve true unity and progress.
India has not undergone the baptism of industrialization and has not been able to develop a strong industrial industry, which is also doomed to make it difficult for it to become a rich country.
Moreover, India's performance in key areas of research and industry has been lackluster. India has done little in key areas of future economic development, such as artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, chips, and green economy industries.
This not only reflects India's lag in scientific and technological innovation, but also indicates that its future development will be difficult, and in addition, India has missed the historical opportunity to rise.
India, however, has failed to seize this opportunity and achieve its own leapfrog development. Today, there are not many opportunities left for India, and it is still unknown whether it can break through the predicament and realize its dream of becoming a strong country.
Looking back at India's development history, we can't help but ask: is India really a great power? Perhaps in the eyes of some Indians, India is strong, but judging from the objective facts, India is still a long way from being truly powerful.
It is like a child with lofty ideals, stumbling on the road of growth, constantly exploring the direction of progress. And we can't completely deny India's potential.
India has a huge population and rich cultural heritage, and it also has certain advantages in some fields. If India can face up to its own problems and have the courage to reform and innovate, perhaps it will have a chance to realize its dream of becoming a strong country in the future.
But this requires more efforts from the Government and people of India to break the shackles and meet the challenges. In this "garbage storm", everyone has their own role and position.
Fred Swann used his footage to shed light on the problem, netizens expressed their attitude with their comments, and India showed a response in action.
And we, as bystanders, should also think about how to make our world a better place. After all, the Earth is our common home, and we all have a responsibility to protect it.
