Guys in my view we need something like Chinese kind of communism at least looking at the current political scenario.Capitalism is working out fine in the developed countries because of their less population.Its said that in such scenarios u leave the country to a free market control,even with vested interests and everything will take care of it self.Even the limited labour factor will ensure that unskilled workers are paid well.The Govt. may need to interfere less until and unless any issue of national importance arises.But in India we are still not ready for a full free market economy.And seeing the kind of politicians our democracy is churning out,democracy itself needs to be kicked out for sometime and a politburo be formed with more transparency and accountability who can best balance the the concepts of socialism and capitalism and march on till we reach a stage where we can capitulate to a complete free market economy.---Of course forget the constitution :)

I agree 100%, a strong leader should sit at the top, atleast for some period of time and make these politicians and govt employees to either to do their work or kick them out.
Chinese style wont work in india now cos we have got used to democratic freedoms and adopting it will backfire and people who will come to power will resort to large scale looting safe in the knowledge that they cannot be voted out of power.

It may Work.Its said that during Indir Gandhi's 1975 Emergeny although she misused lot of her powers,India's Growth improved significantly during that period and sarkari babus became more efficient than ever before :)

Mr Swashbuckler you are wrong I think we need a bi party system as in U.S and U.Kwhere a party gets full time to work for 4 years without thinking of coalation partners.What syatem china has is about suppressing people and supressing media.Which is not the way we should work.Yes there are loopholes in democrecy which can be ammended but a system like china is not workable at all.

We may have biparty systems but what about bipartisan politics.Look How in US and UK the parties united in issues of National Security and Ireland respectively? Look how shamelessly L K Advani opposed the nuclear deal in the motion of Confidence.
