We take it for granted that our country should have been like America by now. Our leaders have done nothing. But we forget that in 1947 india had :
50 million refugees from partition.
communal & regional violence all over.
we had no infrastructure, industry, educational system.
we had no food.
No root for Democracy.
No Constitution.
But thanks to all our leader from Gandhi, Nehru, patel, Advani, Indira, Vajpayee, Ambedkar, Indian Enterpreners, Indian defence people & scientific community
We have all of above now.
We became self suffucient in food grains in first 20yrs of independence.
We had IITs, IISC, IIM, Recs, ISRO etc in first 20 yrs.
Huge steel plants, dams, roads were built soon after independence.
We opened market in late eighties and r now regarded as fastest growing economis.
America or Europe took more than 100yr to have mature democracy and economy. Our Leaders & our people did very very good job in 60 yrs.
Lot has to be still achieved, but let us salute our leaders, enterpreners, scientists and defence people and not always curse them for doing nothing.

gentleman,criticism is always done to improve the society and functioning of govt.only 9.5 millions hindu came from undivided india(now called pakistan).nearly .1 million killed in riots.(whose mistake).we have not been rated as good governance nation.corruption,hafta vasuly(forced collection),bribery,scams all are their.you did not say any thing about this.caste and religion based politics are promoted.politics have become a business in india.all defence deals are not transparent.why?we have health minister like ramdoss who is concentrating on small things,personal revenge.he has no time to promote health.fake medicines,what is the health minister and govt.doing.criticism is only for improvement not for blaming any body.some thing is good but more bad.ruling india is like business.no party declares how much money they added to their party funds.compare your growth with japan,korea,germany,france.do not compare this nation with pakistan.we have to lead.

Amit , U said it right.
They should be taught a lesson for their own actions...If VHP, ShiVsena,bajrangdal and BJP wouldnt have been here, then all mumbaikars would have become like another Kashimiri pundits
