by Tathagatha Alerjee on Aug 14, 2008 07:56 PM

These are FACTS from Wikipedia, you can verify there needs to be a completely different approach to how we solve the problem, I think the need of the hour is more honesty, integrity, politeness and trust among every citizen of India.

I wish all of you a great independence day. See the following and see what you can do it, change doesnt start from the primeminister or the MPs, it should start from us, the people of India. Let us bring more honesty, politeness, trust, accountability in the system by first changing ourselves
