The Congress has used and abused this country for decades now. Every official in every department in this country is available for a price. As Indians, we have become saleable commodities. There is corruption at every level, and now the judiciary has fallen prey as well. The Opposition Parties are as bad or worse than the parties in power. I think we need to have a Civil Movement or a Civil Programme that should be imbedded in our Constitution from now on. I am Indian first, my religion, my state, my language, my caste, my status comes last. As an Indian, my nation must come first. As an Indian, I must pay my taxes honestly, I must uphold the rights of others if I want mine to be upheld. I must have a fear of the law of the land which will deter me from breaking it in the first place. Why is it that I do not think twice before driving down a No Entry street, is it because the money in my pocket tells my brain that I can buy my way out in case there is a cop at the end of the road? Why is it that I do not declare my proper income and cheat on my taxes every year, is it because I can save money this way every year, and end up paying a smaller amount as a bribe, if the taxman was to raid my place every 5 years? Instead of advocating ideas such as Hindutva and Minority Commissions and Quotas, that divide our nation, why can't we come together as "Indians"?

you are absolutely right sir and voiced sentiments of many. The erstwhile east india company/britishers were running the country much better than today's incompetent and corrupt politicians and officials. The next best alternative could be to ask TATAs or Reliance to run the Mumbai. It would be foolish to expect anything worthwhile from politicians. They are all busy in increasing their own wealth in India and abroad. If milkowners are on strike, politicians will continue to get the milk-it is the common man who will suffer. Even if mumbai becomes venice, politicians will be safe and they will review situation from the helicopter and probably laugh at common man's plight.

UI, Tell me what was the population of mumbai when british ruled(Ruined?)India?Now so many buildings have come up even on reclimed land there is little water way for it to reach sea and everybody suffers by flooding.So donot view the problem in isolation.The best solution for this is rainwater harvesting-It should be mandatory for all buidings.In Chennai our area used to get flooded four years before-now after the rain harvesting it has reduced drastically-thanks to the persistance of Jayalalitha on the implementation of this scheme.In fact in several towns people themselve laid pipe line to harvest rain water and let it into the temple tanks and now ground water level has gone high and salinity has come down.So instead of criticizing others you start doing it in your house right today-if every body follow suit Iam sure next year there will be no flooding in Mumbai!
