India is avery fast growing country it can b theecome super power in next 20 years but the only thing required to become a super power is the descipline and tolerance our public has very less tolerance power they immediately break the descipline.If you take the case of traffic jam every body is in ahurry to go so with a small traffic jam with the accident both the side of the road gets jammed.So I believe we have every thing to become a super power except descipline and attitude.
Corruption spawns & thrives where there are excessive controls & gross inequalities are perpetuated. Therefore to sustain democracy in India thru the 21st century: (1) Redistribution of the national wealth has to become truly equitable. (2) Proliferation of education and vocational training in comtemporary skills are required in all disciplines including social sciences, and agriculture, for ensuring sustained growth of all sectors of the socio-economy strata. (3) Lastly, accountability in the present system of governance needs to be strengthened by removal of job security at all levels be it in the executive, legislature or the judiciary !!

I appreciate your suggestion. Very few people on this message board are having answer to problems. Rest are here just to kill time or to abuse someone or some political party. They have developed habit of hating others just because they are from some particular party , caste, religion or state. We need people like you on every front of discussion.

You have a narrow mind and mean thinking. You have dirty language also. You are talking from the mouth ob Balasaheb Thakrey. How you say these BHAIYAS do not take oney to their states, they are in other state to earn their livelihood. They have come becuase the government of their states have have not created ample apportunity ot stay at home state and work. Most of the workers oc construction sites, paiters, Masons, etc. etc. are poor people and poor can exists in any state..by the way name a state where there 100% people are loyal to country and they are not poor. People from different states of India goes to other state for work. job etc. etc..This doesn't mean one should you tareg people for a poor state. It is the POLITITIANS and BABUS of that state which are parasites and to be cleaned up...
I agree on the point by Rajeev but I would like to add....Democracy in India keeps surviving because majority of Indian population lives in villages and major Indian policies (on papers) are made keeping this class in mind. The Indian farmers are most depressed lot, they face numerous problems including electricity, water, seeds, fertilizer almost everything. They are busy solving their problems and they have least time looking at the corruption and all dirty tricks of officials and polititians. Policies are announced in their favour. But actual benefit goes to the policy makers and those having responsibility of implementing. The clout of these two sections get support of few hundred families which is getting richer day by day. The poor goes poorer and rich goes richer. The majority of poor people have no guts, time to raise a voice. Hence democracy survives. The political parties like Communists project themselves as MASSIAH of poor but actually they sell the dead bodies of poor as seen in NANDIGRAM. Poor dies as in maharashtra, Tilangana, Bidarbha, Chambal region, Bundelkhand but nobody bother after all rich people gets richer, Polititians and Babus get another chance to make policies and benefit from them...Middle class is busy adjusting between Lower and higher calss, they have no time to protest so the democaracy survives....
India is pseudo-democratic country. Majority of candidates with money and muscle power and of criminal background are elected to various state legislatures and parliament. The PM is a political stooge, politically immature and a puppet in the hands of the Congress (I) President. India is no way better than the neighbouring dictatorial regimes.

I can understand your problem. You are frustrated person who could not achieve anything but hate and criticize everything which come on your way. You can not see and digest that India is marching ahead in spite of so many problems. Look at Pakistan who has same set of people but different ideology and because of that they are failed state. Get yourself involve in some creative activity , think about growth of you and your family. It help you to come out from this problem.

Well said Jitendra. Its easy to blame. We blame about corruption and muscle power, look at the corruption we do in our everyday life taking the law for granted. We cant obey simple traffic rules i.e. getting our vehicles to stand behind the zebra crossing while the lights are red. We use our bikes to ride on the footpath when there is traffic, honking the pedestrians and zooming past them whilst they are walking calmly.
by sri sri on Dec 19, 2007 05:20 PM Boss!I m more in agreement with Ur earlier post - a decent paying job and decent comforts till I die in this 'avthar' is the least I can aspire for;Its not that anyone in this forum doesn't wanna "try" reforms.The word reform itself has varied connotations in a democratic society.What is good for me may not be good for U.In a dog-eat-dog world,survival itself is an achievement.More so in a 3rd world country like India where the demand outstrips supply.We are one third the size of US and have more than 4 times its population, that too mostly illiterate and divided on various lines.If I can survive and provide some foundation for my dependants to fend themselves,that by itself is an achievement.And,I can clearly see that the world ahead is no good..the best "boon" one can get from "God" is not to be born again.. but that is philosphy, not meant for this platform.My sincere suggestion would be : Everyone takes care of his/her own life in the best way possible and survive,be conscious of your sorrounding and the environment.Dont add to the bulging population!
India needs democracy bcoz it cant do with out it.With all its mind bogling ethnic, religious and lingual differences in India ,if it wants stay & function as one nation ,it cant be anything but a liberal democracy .Every body understands it including our political leaders & our army.We all know wat happened when Indira Gandhi,the most powerful this country ever seen made an faint attempt to impose dictatorship through emergency ,she got lost.Its not a miracle ,good logic of our founding fathers & historical compulsions that we started as a democracy.Then again we also stayed a democracy bcoz of added compulsions of this country.

Yes, I am agree and this also 100 % true that Modi is only a leader to be PM with great sense of humour. The present scenario of India is not like a secular democracy country but only pro-Muslim government. And if anybody wants to be secular in India just do negative comments on Hindu god/goddess and don%u2019t say anything about Islam. ---you will be secular. The present Congress government is taking such type of decision and making policy, which only favours Muslim. Even a person who tells about Hinduism, it means that who is communal. If the riot takes place in Congress ruling government it means that, that is real riot, and the culprits are Hindu only, but government is secular in that state. But if the riot takes place in BJP ruling state, the whole government is communal and Hindu too. But one thing is common, in both place Hindu is culprit%u2026.this is meaning of secularism in India, is in present. No political party (Except BJP) condemns Godhra, but all condemn Gujarat riots, But BJP condemns both Godhra and Gujarat. Do you think, this is a secular democracy???

Yes. I agree with you. Nobody talks of Godhra killing. It was surprising that Banerjee report says that "People themselves locked inside & set themselves fire". It was a cooked up report made by our famous Lalooooo...

democracy is serviving in india because it suits the elite class. the poor illeterate masses has no say in the process. the indian democracy is controlled by a few hundred familiies. though every body says that corruption is bad thing for democracy ironically corruption is sustaining indian democracy & society. no buisiness in india can survive & thrive without corruption & indian democracy is a big buisiness. the money that they have stacked in swis bank is enough to make india a rechest nation in the world. dont worry democracy will servive. only the poor will perish. like the farmer of maharastra they will consume poison. god bless my country
