HAHAH - thats a bit of a joke . India's GDP is growing at 10% or more AND believe it or not - there are fewer riots and acts of terrorism in recent years. Things have never looked so good in India. Is that despite congress or because of it - thats a point of view - but remember the architects of reform - Singh , Alhuwalia , Kamanath and Chidambram are in power. Arjun Singh , Mani Iyer and some others are there for old time's sake and have really no power except to make pointless issues like social justice and "rich getting richer"

http://pewglobal.org/ - there is a neutral report on global attitudes and feelings and changes in last three years. That may help understand how Indians are seeing rather than a few "Hindutvavadis". Nehru did what was good for the country - when you start with zero base - government intervention is good. The Indira Gandhi years were bad and dark era for India but it sort of recovered in 1985 when India started emerging as a power center. I remember the days of Sikh terrorism when we would look at our seats all the time and wondered whether we will be home alive. Not so bad now. Check the records of terrorism before making comments on a board. I could debate on more complex topics even before you stopped wearing your diapers. I am very unhappy with Arjun Singh, ( the RJD/DMK crowd ) and Shivraj Patil but their incompetence is nothing compared with morons like Murali Manohar Joshis , Jaswant Singha , Yeshwant SInhas and Sushma Swarajs of BJP or the evil genius of Narendra Modi.
If you think you are the last repository of all wisdom and that you can debate until Kingdom come, you are, like the party you are supporting, the proverbial ostrich. Let's look at Nehru's actions - started and institutionalised the corrupt and inefficient public sector and patronised it. The result was that the Government started flying airplanes badly (taken away from the Tatas), started running hotels posting losses of hundreds of crores of rupees so that Congressmen can treat those hotels as their property, started making breads in the public sector - can you imagine an economic policy where the Government makes a Re.1 product (in those days)and makes losses until it is sold to Hindustan Lever? The daughter, even by your own admission took the country from bad to worse, looting the banks, public sector companies and all the Congressmen who would otherwise have been vagabonds enriched themselves and amassed crores of hundreds of rupees and built personal fiefdoms, with a good percentage of them being rowdies and criminals too. Ah, you dare talk about Sikh Terrorism? Forgot its origin? It was a literal Frankenstein monster created by Indira Gandhi by instigating Bhindranwale to give trouble to the Janata Government between 1997 and 1980. Such is the power madness of Congress men and women. And recently, ex - Bihar Congress Chief Minister Satyanarain Sinha has said that the Bhagalpur riots during his tenure was instigated by the Congress High Command

Socialism was an ideology that had its merits for emerging nations. The abolition of zamindary was one of the more spectacular achievements and so also measures like untouchability , civil code and bonded labour which were spectacular measures which only a non-conformist and secular person like Nehru could have taken. Compare that with the state of our nieghbours - Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Nepal - all affected by religious bigotry - Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu where reforms just did not happen. Indira was an abberation and that split the congress as well but Rajiv Gandhi in some way redeemed that. Much as capitalism is a consensus with us - socialism was with almost all Indians 40 years back. Do not forget that is what all intellectuals and thinkers of the country wanted.

Dear Anurag,
What prevented the corrupt and depraved congress jokers from doing it from 1947 itself? Why should India lie so low in all developmental indices but for the Congress misrule of 50 years? It is definitely "despite the Congress" - otherwise, we would be growing at upwards of 12 per cent.

India GDP is growing only by FDI which is coming and not by Industrial or Agricultural Growth . This is the politicians money which is coming back to india in the Shape of FDI , this bubble will burst any time unless stron measures are taken to revive the industries and agriculture and strong measures to be taken to limit and check cheap imports from China.
