You cannot say New India because India has still a long way to go. There are cows, buffaloes on the roads, garbage and filth lying on the road. Roads are never swept clean. There is sewerage water overflow from the drains. Villagers make cow dung huts in empty spaces. Open spaces are used for urination and defaecation. People spit on the raods and blare their horns in protest. There is extreme corruption at al levels. You call it New India. India is the dirtiest and the worst place to live.

It's all in the attitude of the people. No meaning in blaming the Politicians, Government Officials and etc. Politicians and Government officials are came from us only. So, if they are corrupted and not clean and not sincere means, we, our people are corrupted, our people are not clean and our people are not sincere. So, it's we need to change ourselves to move forward towards better future. We need to learn a lot of good things from other country people; not just copying Discos, hair styles, etc. Punctuality, cleanliness, trustworthy, politeness, braveness, etc. etc. etc are those things that we need to look into and learn them and change ourselves. Then only our country could become developed country. Just look at around India, other countries are moving very fast bcoz it's people understand the situation, they tend to change according to the need. We, our people are wasteing so much time in the name of discussions, meetings, court cases, religious conflicts, all bcoz of too much of democrazy and it's killing our country. Does any of our politicians or our people realize on how much we are wasting our time and money by having unnecessary 'yatras', 'rally', 'bandh'???? nobody cares.

Alok All these are due to people like you.I am currently in UK. Here roads are clean but people's heart and oul is not clean. You will be rendering greatest service to the nation if you leave the country immediately as New India do not require people who are in height of pessimism.

Thanks to this young courageous Indian. I wish you enormous luck in your new life. You are right in that people in western countries tend to be selfish.But they are highly disciplined and if we imitate them in this, we will become a great nation.We must support anyone who wishes to change the status quo and offer constructive advice. The IITians who have started a party are on to something new. This is a promising start.But for us to start working to change the way things are, we must first recognize the defects. The high rates of illiteracy, child labor, lack of civic sense, apathy to the surroundings,lack of effective population control are all some of the more obvious problems. We must support NGOs and other organizations that work to eradicate the ills, and also contribute physically or financially to some cause. But it is a difficult task-our problems have multiplied along with our population. But I am an optimist,and I think our moment is now, and we can all work together to tackle at least some of these in our life time.I have traveled and lived in the US and France. It is with a sense of wonder and envy that I have always reacted to clean surroundings, efficient, uncorrupted civic authorities, and other first world amenities. I hope some day we will have all this in India.

I completely agree with Alok, India stinks at all levels..It's the dirtiest place to live in the whole world..and New Delhi is the worst capital..There are all dirty places with no discipline..People urinate openly..Cows fully roam...It's better to live in some African country..

Change yourself before make a comment on India. A country can change only when her (india) citizens change themselves. before blaming india u must know what u can give to country.

I strongly agree with Alok..Though we love our country we need to realize and accept that there are lot of messy things happening here. One has to visit other countries to know better about India...We are lagging in everything.

we are lagging but not out of race and even not too far to win it. It is just matter of time.
