Looking at the comments to this article, I think they seemed to have entirely missed the spirit of author in praising India's remarkable achievement of democracy. Especially if you compare against Pakistan/bangaladesh. Very honest potrayal of the spirit of India- it is still work-in-progress system.

We know that. The whole world knows that.They also know why but nobody is spelling it out. When a country exists as a theocratic dictatorship based country there is a problem. With so many ethnic groups even one religion does not help when one ethnic group dominates the other. It is lesson for India too.
