It appears that people’s civic sensibilities are eroding daily. A recent incident on an IndiGo flight serves as a sobering lesson, as some passengers were observed flagrantly disregarding safety procedures by standing even as the aircraft was ready to land. Outrage and worry over the increasing disrespect for fundamental safety and public decorum have been sparked by a video of the incident that went viral.
When the aeroplane was about to land, IndiGo passengers caused a commotion, demonstrating that civic duty is not as important as it once was.
Public etiquette and basic principles are being disregarded more frequently, which demonstrates how civic sensibility is gradually vanishing from our culture. Whether it’s causing mayhem in public areas, jumping lines, or violating driving laws, many people appear to have lost the value of responsible behaviour.
Such problems have been highlighted once more by a recent video from an IndiGo aircraft. The video, which has gone popular on social media, shows a number of passengers getting up and opening the overhead bins as the plane is purportedly getting ready to land. The female flight attendant repeatedly reminded the passengers to be seated and close the bins, but they disregarded her orders.
The fact that the situation only changed when a male passenger’s voice was heard requesting that everyone return to their seats further unsettled the audience. Many people only paid attention after a male voiced his opinion, which has led to a broader internet discussion regarding the pervasive patriarchal mentality in our culture.
Concern was raised by certain internet users about how this kind of behaviour has become accepted and even expected when using public transport.

Numerous responses have been made by netizens in response to the widely shared IndiGo aircraft footage. Others concentrated on the more serious problems the video brought to light, while others voiced their indignation at the passengers’ utter contempt for in-flight safety procedures. The blatant lack of civic sensibility infuriated some, who referred to it as dangerous and embarrassing.
However, a sizable portion of respondents drew attention to the gender dynamics at work. They thought it was unsettling because even though the female flight attendant made several announcements, the crowd didn’t react until a male passenger intervened.

Regarding the incident, the airline has not yet responded. However, the video uploaded by a foreigner alone is sufficient to grasp the seriousness of the problem and the length of time it will take for Indians to become really civic.
