India will remain in a hyphenated relationship, despite the talk, with Pakistan for years to come. Because, India is still miles away from rising above its regional power stature.
If we search the reasons, very little lie outside India, and mostly it is within us. Why, despite being a concentious nation, we can not root out corruption? We are hardworking when we work abroad, why cant we show the same enterprise at home? Why do we tolerate Laloo Prasad Yadavs, Narendra Modis and other criminals in our system? These keep us backward - no amount of US goodwill will ever take us anywhere.
