In recent times, the socialist discourse of India has led to a great deal of poverty and unfortunately, this poverty is epitomized through ugly architecture. This lack of beauty in Indian cities is an issue that many are concerned about, with calls for neo-classical movements in order to bring back the grandeur and magnificence that was once seen in India's cities. Unfortunately, these pleas have been largely ignored as the government continues to prioritize its socialist agenda over aesthetic considerations. As a result, much of the country's urban landscape remains uninspiring and dull - with few buildings embodying any sort of architectural finesse or beauty. This lack of neo-classical movements has had serious implications for both citizens and tourists alike. For citizens, it means living amongst dull buildings which fail to inspire creativity or progress; for tourists, it means visiting cities which fail to live up to their expectations or offer any sort of visual stimulation. In either case, this lack of neo-classical movements is proving detrimental for all involved. The government must take action if they wish to see a change in the state of India's urban landscape - they must recognize that aesthetics are just as important as economics when it comes to creating vibrant cities and inspiring people towards progress. Until then however, it seems unlikely that we will see any kind of meaningful shift away from our current state of affairs - leaving us stuck with dull architecture representing our nation's poverty for years to come.
