Behaviour is an outcome of the Rules and Procedures and Systems.
Unfortunately, in our country, we never paid any heed to the execution of laid down Rules and Procedures but rather took Pride in BREAKING THOSE.
The Administrative machinery also never bothered to inculcate this aspect amongst the citizens because they themselves were indisciplined and were enjoying in the deliberately created mess.
The net result is right in front of us.
No amount of Economic reforms, Industrial Reforms can make the Nation stronger UNLESS its people and its administration is DISCIPLINED.
This, i think will be the first Social ramification of the pandemic.
