I agree with Avinash, and in fact would like to add to it: it is not just in India but EVERY single country in the world where there are people in power who would like to remain in power -- yes, one can claim that in some places there seems to be more of a patriotic semblance than other, but I think that is just a mirage -- it is all surface stuff -- once the sh it hits the fan, they all run.
What I will concede though, is that in certain places there may seem to be less of a corruption at the lower levels of societal life, but that's it.
At the end of the day, you get what you pay for, especially in a democracy, where you will get monkeys if you elect them.
Having said all that, I believe that Indians need to be held to a much higher standard, because I am an Indian my self and I believe that we need to lead the way. So, I think that we should all make a change in our own lives first, you know, quit the sab chalta hai -- and it is infinitely more difficult to do so for most of us, than it is for me to say it -- but that is what we have to do. Since, we seem to be the ones who cry the most foul, we need to be the ones who have to act the most as well...
If after all this nothing changes (and I highly doubt that), then I am willing to listen to another plan...
So, what say, for a change quit whining and start doing ?
