Just read that India’s Union Transport Minister is proposing a law where vehicle horns will mimic sounds of Indian classical instruments — flute, tabla, harmonium — in an attempt to make honking “pleasant.”
Let that sink in.
Instead of enforcing strict noise pollution laws, building better public transport, or upgrading traffic management systems, we are literally tuning into a symphony of chaos. This isn’t a Black Mirror episode — it’s policy.
❌ No clarity on implementation
❌ No solution to honking abuse
❌ No addressal of real urban transport pain points
✅ But hey, your cab now plays Raag Bhairavi when it’s cutting lanes.
At a time when India’s youth is demanding progress in AI, green energy, urban planning, and smart infrastructure — we are talking about making honking musical. It’s almost poetic… if it wasn’t real.
🤔 What’s next? Auto-rickshaws with sitar solos? Traffic signals with ragas?
Let’s channel that creativity into smarter urban planning, EV adoption, pedestrian safety, and infrastructure that breathes innovation, not memes.
Happy to collaborate on actual noise and air pollution solutions, not this classical orchestra of misdirection. 🙃
