it is not at all about 60yrs. until very recently, india did not matter much on the global front (ignoring our past before british and mughal occupation). now it is turning into an economic superpower and the world has taken notice. our babujis and netajis have not been in the international limelight, so it should not be a shock that they do not have the maturity/experience to deal with it. in time such experience will be gained and hopefully by then, our elected leaders aren't uneducated wealthy village land owners who get into power by making false promises to the vast population of poor people in india. as the majority of poor move to middle class living standards, the quality of our elected leaders will improve.
