DEar Mr Raman, After reading your article I seem to have found a little respect in our ways of governing. There are ofcourse unfair practices for personal and political gains in our system, but they have hardly been so grossly unfair and repressive as in China and many other parts of world. I don't say that gives us reason to continue our current malpractices, but rather find fair solutions to the problems which can serve as an inspiration and a guiding principles for others to follow. We did that a long time ago when many wisdom and religions prospered here and spread through out world to show people the right path to follow. Sure we can do now.
