about your point on japan,japan never got an independence in the sense that India got. Japan was a coloniol power way before 1947, a strong and united country,maybe they were on the wrong path and joined hands with hitler but they were one nation under one ruler and were very strong. They occupied whole of china before your 1947 bench mark. In that respect even germany got independent after world war 2 and was still divided into two parts till the 90's. India was always broken into different fragments before 1947 and they united only after that. So I dont think we have done all that bad in mere 60 yrs. We still got lot of problems but I think people are getting more aware of them and want to get rid of them. Things would get better Mr. Ranjith not by worrying and cursing but by doing something. This article was not about blaming someone but about joining hands with each other for a collective progress.
