India is very soft state, and has been very tolerant to foreigners in its entire history. Moguls and later English ruled our country for centuries. We took all this lying down, and continue to take this 60 years after independence. The biggest problem lies with our constitution, and that restricts our ability to fight corruption and terrorism. Being democratic we let people make their own rules and religion to suit their agenda. The diversity of the people and sheer population, breeds total disregard for any semblance of ground reality. Take the case "Kalawati". a much publicised story of poverty and debt, and young congress leader choose her example in Loksabha to support need of electricity to improve her lot. A totally stupid example, implying that to support such "kalawatis" , nucler power is necesity of the country - what an idiotic idea. Did he mean that India can give "poor" farmers free electricty for life and generations that these people keep on producing without food or shelter and expect govt to fund this. "kalawati has umpteen children, and govt is expected to fund each of them for life and they will produce many more umpteem families as they find easy recourse to air their griviences (wrongly) to eager politicians -who use them to garner vote banks, without really addressing their problems - "illiteracy." The news about schooling from "madrassa" eligible for formal education is one more disastrous move, legaliizing education based purely on religious fundamental

This is real "low" of Indian politics and its opportunistic, corrupt and criminal and uneducated "leaders", and some of whom aspire to become PM of the country. It would unheard of in any civilised country to differ and not execute punishment to the person who bombed the parliament for years - just in order to appease the community -who takes all kind of liberty with the "democracy", blasting the public in different parts with impunity and laughing at the inablity of the administration to punish the known, openly and freely moving perpratators of such act of terrorism. Shame on these leaders who witness killing of their countrymen silently and some them even encourage them (the terrorists)in order to garner their votes from "minority" community. This nothing more than murder of their own son to save their neighbors militant kid. How low and immoral and can one become -can only be learned from Indian politicians
