One example of a government action in South Asian history that I think was unwise is the Green Revolution in India during the 1960s and 1970s. The Green Revolution was a movement to increase food production using new farming techniques and better seeds.
At first, it seemed like a good idea because it helped grow more food and reduce hunger in some areas. But there were some problems, too. Many farmers could not afford the expensive seeds and fertilizers needed for the new farming methods. This made it hard for small farmers to compete and led to bigger gaps between rich and poor farmers.
Also, the new farming methods were not always good for the environment. They used a lot of water, and in some places, this caused water shortages. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides hurt the soil and local wildlife.
So, while the Green Revolution helped increase food production, it also created new problems for small farmers and the environment. I think it was unwise because it did not consider the long-term effects on communities and nature.
