Lack of leadership at multiple levels. And well demonstrated incapacity of state and society. Eg: Houston was under water for weeks, inaccessible for Rain in 24 hours. Mumbai took that much rain in 12 hours, (3x Houston pop), got working in 2 days. Almost at the same time.

Impressive. How'd Mumbai do that? Indian government is not known for its efficiency.

That efficiency narrative is principally because most English-speaking Chatterati don't understand scale. (And Indians generally are more self-effacing). This is one of the things I was referring to in our earlier conversations. India = replicating at scale, with ease.

I'd also argue that China operates at the same scale but better (it's different obviously, no democracy).

It defintely does by popln numbers, but not with other layers. It doesn't have 22 *official* languages. Doesn't handle 4 major religions. That removes 2 big layers of complexity. (I can add more detail if you're curious).

Well. We're pretty self-critical of the Govt. Sometimes we even vote it out immediately after.
But we also band together with it, as a society to get things done.
The difference in complexity: every month has major festivals ie., 100k+ people events, countrywide.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

And many aren't based in cities but towards countryside/rural towns. That itself is many ways self-organsing and regulating. Govt makes basic arrangements, keeps the peace(cos too many bipeds
).
But rest of it is mostly self-organised.

Is Indian government localist? Said another way, is the federal government pretty hands off on states? States are hands off on cities? Cities are hands on?

Don't think such broad classifications work. Economic centers, definitely more 'centrally' controlled.
