The year 2025 has been a tumultuous one for India, marked by a series of crises that critics are calling the “25 Biggest Failures” of the current govt. From national security lapses to economic downturns and social unrest, the data paints a grim picture of the nation’s current trajectory.
Security and Infrastructure Under Fire
National security and public safety have come under intense scrutiny this year. Reports indicate a surge in violence, citing 18 major terror attacks that have resulted in numerous casualties among both security forces and civilians. The deadliest of these occurred in Pahalgam and Delhi.
Furthermore, the state of national infrastructure has reached a breaking point. With 27 major railway accidents and multiple fatal bridge collapses reported, there are growing concerns over systemic neglect and the lack of proper maintenance of public utilities.
Economic and Social Crises
The Indian economy is facing significant headwinds that are felt at every level of society. Key economic indicators show a troubling trend:
- Currency Depreciation: The Rupee has hit a record low of ₹91 per Dollar.
- Small Business Struggles: Close to 40,000 SMEs have been forced to shut their doors.
- Agricultural Distress: In Maharashtra, the crisis has reached a peak with one farmer death reported every three hours.
- Trade Barriers: Diplomatic setbacks have led to 50% tariffs from both Mexico and the US, severely impacting Indian exports.
On the social front, the year has been marred by rising crimes against women, Dalits, and minorities. Ethnic and religious violence has also flared up in cities like Nagpur, Murshidabad, Cuttack, and Sambhal.
Democratic and Environmental Concerns:
The administration is also facing a backlash over its impact on democratic institutions. Allegations of election manipulation, voter suppression, and widespread spying on citizens via the Sanchar Saathi app have dominated political discourse.
Environmentally, the situation is equally dire. The Air Quality Index (AQI) in Delhi has frequently crossed the 700 mark, while the destruction of the Hasdeo and Aravalli forests continues to spark protests.
Ultimately, 2025 stands as a year defined by “terror, corruption, and unemployment,” leaving many to question the long-term legacy of the current leadership.
