Why do we always expect something in return from the government? Why should they cater to all our needs? Apart from petty taxes, how are we contributing to the country? All the while in 75 yrs, we have looted from the country by way of quotas and reservations and subsidies without giving back anything return? Gone are the days when we thought it is our constitutional right to travel at govt sponsored low fares.

Airlines are private companies. Unlike the govt, they are here to make profits. From those profits,...
more... airline employees survive, and those employees are also citizens of India like you and me. private companies enter the ground to make profits. They are not NGOs and charity organizations. We have already delegated our govts to be that 365 days a years not bothering how they should get the funds in the first place.
Already for 2 months they are in loss and now you want govt intervention in this also? If govt keeps interfering in pvt business and entities, our country will go back to 1950s. Yes, some people will still survive based of free ka maal ya subsidized maal or reservations and quotas. But govt cannot and should not take care of 1.35 billion. It is foolish to expect them.
Expect only roti and kapda from the govt and not cheap air and rail travel. Those do not come under essential services. It might be essential to individuals but not for all. If you were living in a lawless communist and socialist country, then you can expect a govt to loot from pvt to give to common man. Not in modern developing countries.
And pls stop expecting the govt to come to rescue in all aspects of all life, they will address only some for some people, not all for everybody. It is imply practically impossible.
