IndiGo’s collapse has shown just how hard it is for India to shed its legacy of passive governance
Passive governance, unfortunately, is politically comfortable. Being reactive lets governments take visible action during crises—press conferences, fact-finding committees, emergency guidelines—that generates immediate public legitimacy. Proactive action, by contrast, is often invisible. Preventing a crisis does not produce headlines. It requires investment in data systems, institutional capacity and regulatory humility, which seldom capture the political imagination.
