very correct. when it comes to looting one's own home no one can beat indians. atleast we can pose serious threat to others in this front. no wonder the educated upper middle class stays away from casting their votes. it is just a question of selecting a "better" criminal from a lot.
If someone has not studied beyond 10th standard, it is not a problem. In our country many boys and girls just go on studying without any purpose or aim. Many of them go to college just to pass time. It is better not to do such study. So it is not a problem if someone has not studied beyond 10th standard. However if any candidate has criminal background or if criminal cases are going on against some, then it is a matter of concern. Because then these criminals are going to make laws for us! Such candidates should not be allowed to stand for election. But no major political party is willing to bell the cat.

right u are, mr.sharma.first get these goondas out of all the parties.i think, what bangladesh did now is worth considering. have a nuetral military backed govt. and conduct the polls. u will say india is too big for this. atleast we can try this out.if niot for anything, it will put fear in the minds of the criminals.
You can see truth about Indian literates on the message boards. How abusive are they to each other? They even cannot express them self in nice way. Hindu v/s Muslim v/s Christian. South v/s north and what not.
I would prefer illiterates who extend their helping hands when my car is broke down on the road. Fact is all corruption in India is executed by educated government servants. From Police to top level all are educated and takes bribe. On other hand less educated and illiterates work honestly. wisdom and vision do not come from degrees. It comes from the knowledge.

It appears that you are a bit confused...knowledge comes from proper education itself. That's why people in U.P are unable to give a clear mandate to a particular political party.Majority of the educated class do not even vote b'coz frankly no one deserves to be in power in UP.The majority who vote are the illiterate class who vote not on the merits of a particular politician but for a particular caste,region or creed!!They need to think beyond these petty issues and for achieving this they must not only be learned but also educated.

Actually, these corrupt people are not educated or learned. They are just degree holders. . We need to change this 'certified' culture of ours with some real education.

a person who has studied up to the 10th is certainly literate. Hope you accept that. Sunil does have a point that litracy among political candidtaes doesnt necessarliy mean clean politics or governance. In some cases, like doctors for example, their first task post graduation seems to be to recover the huge capitation fees that they pay to get the seats in the first place. and hence corrupt / fast track practices.
And see for yourself... a large number of so called literate leaving a post here do not hesitate to use foul language, are derogatory and unaccepting of others views, are cynical, and what not. While everyone is entitled to her or his opinion, I believe there should be a certain method of expressing. However, throwing insults seems most fashionable here.
Hope we will see more good quality here in future...

yup I hope so too.. People belonging to UP truly know that the state is heading for its worst times ever...no proper planning,shutting down of industries,power shortage and population boom. I truly fail to understand as to why UP is so densely populated despite the fact that there is no proper future for any commercial establishment over there.Take kanpur as a present example!!

good reply, i agree with you. Mr Sunil Agarwal seems to be liitle bit disturbed by doings of some literate fools (dear it is not end) but he is not willing to understand what education really means.
Mr. Sunil Agarwal if you have education and knowledge then it is easy to understand things, it is because of EDUCATION only that you are posting comments here and sharing your views and most probably you after reading other views will think twice about what you wre thinking peviously. You will analyze thing automatically, it is because of education only you can know what other countries in world are doing and what you should do to keep in pace, not only with other countries just take an example of your neighbour/colleague, you may have a competetion and you will try to rise and if you have education then it will be comparatively easy. If you have education you can easily understand your rights, govt policies, what it is doing and what their plans are for you. Well i want to tell a lot but think and analyze yourself. Just try to judge and see whay people are corrupt in our country, why we have so much crime, why other countries progressed etc.
It is shocking to note to the decay of UP. Last few years it has been fiercely competing with Bihar to be the worst governed state in India.
In a democracy we cannot really blame the politicians entirely. Politicians as a class are basically crooked, unethical and shameless. That holds good for any country in the world. It is the duty of the people to carefully select the best from the rotten bunch and subsequently keep them under control.
All the states of India follow the same constitution, have the same kind of politicians. Then what does lead to the glaring differences in quality of governance between different states? In the same India we have Bihar and Maharashtra, UP and Tamil Nadu.
I think it is time that we started analysing the crisis of governance from a sociologist's point of view.

I am a big fan of Naipaul. That is one of the best books he has ever written.
Naipaul finished the book in late eighties. I thought liberalization would prove him wrong. But now I realize money cannot change character. Today's India is much more prosperous than the one Naipaul presented through "India: A Million Mutinies Now". But the problems have remain same. On the scale of civilization we have not progressed an inch in last two decades. That is amazing indeed! What do you say?
