What a pity!! We are in a democratic (atleast in paper) country. People do not have to fear cops!! Instead of protecting people, the cops are blood sucking(read corrupt), useless lot in India(just like in movies, they reach at the crime scene after the crime has occured). They hold too much power: can torture people at will. Are we in Hitlers's Germany? As Indians our only 'high impact' contribution is from C V Raman. Except for that we are always number 1 for wrong things (AIDS, poverty, TB, corruption, bad roads, dishonesty the list is vitually endless).
Instead of seizing the economic opportunities Indians want to save their "culture". What culture are we talking here:Worshiping cows? Denying people who wants to eat beef? Working in a govt. job with almost no productivity? Greasing the palms of every official? Producing thousands degree holders with rigid, outdated education system? Sitting on the banks of Ganges?
India is backward because of its people, not the government!!!
