Survey Reveals Sharp Rise in VIP Culture Across India

A recent nationwide survey has uncovered a significant increase in VIP culture, according to Indian citizens. The study, conducted by Local Circles, gathered responses from 54,000 people across 333 districts. It shows that eight out of ten Indians believe there has been a spike in VIP culture over the past year.

Key Findings from the Survey

The survey highlights several important points. Most respondents reported witnessing VIP culture primarily in specific locations. These include places of worship, roads, and tollways. The data indicates a clear trend of privileged behavior in public spaces.

In 2024, only 64% of people felt the same way about VIP culture. This year, that number has jumped to 80%. The increase suggests a growing perception of inequality and special treatment in daily life.

Public Perception and Impact

Indians are expressing concern over this trend. Many believe it disrupts normal activities and creates unnecessary hierarchies. The survey does not specify the exact nature of the VIP behavior, but it implies issues like queue jumping or preferential access.

The findings point to a need for greater awareness and possible policy changes. As more people notice VIP culture, it could affect social harmony and public trust.
