India and Pakistan seperated as equals in 1947. And see where they are. China grew, but by stepping on its citizens shoulders. India grew and is today a great power by practicing true democracy, enpowering citizens, stressing education, and putting in place all the economic reforms we see today. It is very easy to point fingers and highlight the negatives, but look at the big picture. I have lived in USA nearly all my adult life, so perhaps I am a little naive as to day-to-day politics of India on a micro level, but I do know this - There is no comparison to India. Whatever the government has done, it has worked. The sardarji is a great economist. He may not know how to be a kickass politician, but he knows a thing or two about economics! His predictions have been bang-on, and his policies spearheaded growth. Instead of bitching about people's nationalities and their religion, bask in the glory you idiots! Think about this - Why does she need to be in India and listen to all this? If her priority is in Italy, how many times has she gone there and what has she done for Italy which is larger than what she is doing for India? How many foriegn born bahu's (and I know millions of them here in US) speak the language, wear a sari, and still think fondly of a country which has taken away from her, her husband, mother-in law, and still constantly fight everyday comments about her nationality. Grow up Indians, and learn to appreciate what you got.
