There have been tit for tat replies for rants. Why not you do a reality check - Stalin killed 2 million russians, Mao killed - 5 million chinese.
Do you think that a country which killed so many of its own would be sincere with India in fair dealing? China doesn't want Indians, and you of course face it, but it wants our land. Why should we give our land to them.
Sorry to say you are sounding downright nonsensical.

Who knows how many children in China are malnourished? The world did not know the truth about Russia before glasnost and its rapid disintegration.
Agreed there are lot of ills in the country but these have to be sorted out by us. Britishers did not solve them and neither did mughals. And going forward neither would China or US for that matter even if we were to invite them to rule us.
It is us people who need to vote for good governance and not by caste or religion.

even after 60 yrs independence, we cant even provide basic living necessities to major junk of our citizens.leave alone necessities there are junk of proper indians living in our country dont even have a ration card. this is the state we are in. this what governance of democracy has given us which is a an absolute failure. first we have to accept our failure and then look out for change in the govt setup instead of just beating our chest that we are great by false pride.

So who is to blame for that. It is us people who have been voting the good for nothing dynasties. Communism, fascism, democracy or presidential form of government will not solve this problem.
It is for the people of the country to change the mindset. Why criminals are elected time and again? Why Maya, Lalu, Mulayam, Digvijay Singh, Communist get elected everytime? Is it because people do not want change or that our democratic system is being abused by few. By the way living conditions are not better anywhere in India even in urban centers. It is even worse in UP, WB, Bihar, and MP.

Neha as bhimsen mentions all our problems are apparent, transparent...we don't deny them, yet in whatever flawed way we are working to resolve them, China on the other hand has swept all its ills away from the public eye. Large swathes of the country could be far worse than Bihar, yet due to Chinese military rule, we only see gleaming images of China! Finally, you did not respond to Bhimsen's point about China wanting to grab India's land which i am sure even the most self proclaimed admirer of China like yourself will admit!!
