Are Indians illogical?

About 4/5th of people, that is 85%, in India trust the government, but, at the same time, 55% would support autocracy and 53% would be comfortable with military rule. This was in recent a report by the Pew Research Center. Naturally, commitment to democracy is highest in countries which are economically advanced and lowest in poorer countries. Why would a majority of Indians support military rule, with its severe restrictions, when almost everyone seems to trust the government. Vast numbers of people are dependent on subsidies handed out by the government, so naturally they have faith in the system. Even the 1.5 million engineering students are hoping to get government jobs after qualifying. There is a dearth of well paid jobs in the private sector and the fear is that the number of such jobs maybe shrinking, wrote S Khanna. According to the International Labour Organization our employment elasticity was 0.3 from 1991 to 2007, which means that a 1% growth in GDP produced 0.3% employment growth, but that has dropped to 0.15%. New businesses need fewer employees, with increasing use of automation and artificial intelligence. While Japanese and Korean business leaders are keen to learn about latest technologies, Indians do not have the same urgency, wrote Prof V Wadhwa. That is probably because Indian businesses do not bother with exports, when they can make eye-watering profits selling to 1.3 billion Indians, whatever the quality of production. Our total export in the last financial year was $274.63 billion, compared to over $2 trillion by China. Lately, there have been demands for reservation in education and government jobs by various groups, including land owning communities, such as the Marathas. On the other hand India is severely lacking in services that the state should provide, such as education, healthcare and criminal justice. E Barry studied an small village in UP which was run by a man, whose wife had been elected to the post. He ensured that the poor received services to which they are entitled and improved their living standards, and he was instrumental in the cover up of the brutal murder of a woman in front of villagers by her husband, because the man's family could guarantee 150 votes in the next election. The state government of Rajasthan has just issued an ordinance banning all investigations of civil servants on corruption charges. Why is this necessary? Because civil servants know exactly how politicians multiply their assets by 500% in just 5 years and they need to be protected from spilling the beans. Indians depend on government charity or jobs for survival but would not mind military rule to blow the scum away. That is the paradox.
