He keeps observing how people are living under the poverty line, the stunted growth of the kids, the collapse of the justice system, corruption of politicians & bureaucracy.

The corrupt system destroys the morality of the Nation and lets down the country under debt. That was pretty difficult to see by any patriotic man, who has to live and die in that country.
