Contd: This damage caused by the Congress will cause India ENORMOUS trouble in the years to come. Appeasement and terrorism are linked. Vote-bank politics will make India ungovernable. That may not worry the Congress, because most of its "secular-socialists" have their family members in the USA and some bank accounts in Lichtenstein or Jersey. When they see India drowning, they will be gone like a shot. But Lady Luck has sometimes favoured the Congress. Wide-spread starvation deaths in the late 1960s were avoided by an Indian scientist and his team - M.S. Swaminathan. The "Green Revolution" was, laregly, his "baby". 3) Education Sector: The most shameful of Congress failures. It really hurts because Congress, perhaps, deliberately kept this sector UNREFORMED, UNDER-INVESTED for electoral reasons - for "reservations to work well". You need some castes with REAL DIS-SATISFACTION and jealousy over what other castes are getting. Keeping the poor, always poor, IS GOOD POLITICS for Congress and her allies, the DMK. Free TVs, free gas-connection must act as bribes for a large number of people. Unless they are poor, the freebies won't work. See the devious thinking. But it is a crucial part of political thinking in India. Don't be shocked. 3) There are many cynical Congress people and also in parties allied to them, who think INDIA WILL BE THE SAME - IT CANNOT CHANGE. So, focus on winning the NEXT ELECTION.
