ha ha ha ... congress has accomplished a lot for India in those 50 years ... yes, more could have been achieved, but it's foolhardy to think that BJP or JD or SJP could have done better when they blew up every opportunity they ever got.
I think the mess that we are in (if we are in a mess), is a result of our own mistakes and not perse creteated by the congress party.
besides, congress is doing the job of an opposition party - doing exactly what is expected of an opposition party. BJP should do the same at the center.

India only improved after the decline of congress party or better say Nehru/gandhi's...more so after 1991. When congress was at its best, India was at its worst almost on verge on bankruptcy with neither growth or development.
Another major contrubution was killing creativity in individuals through doggish school system and government.

what do you say about the kick in the butt we gave to pakistan in 1971 and its division in 1972? wasn't that achieved by Indira Gandhi.
what did the Janata party achieve from 1977 to 1980 besides being busy in infighting?
Rajiv gandhi's impetus to move with the world in IT revolution has put India on the IT services map of the world ... the nation owes a lot to the leadership of the Nehru-Gandhi family.
But they never teach giving credit in RSS shakhas ... al they teach is to hate people to the extent that you begin to hate yopurself one day when you look into a mirror.

Loan Shark well said. Blame game is what these losers in the forum play. Blame Congress for this, Muslims for that, Mughals for this, Manmohan Singh for that - c'mon - BJP was in power for a while - what happened there - Saale Coffin chor - desh ke jawaanon ko bhi nahin choda. We are a corrupt society with a lot of hang ups about religion, colour, caste and creed - that is our problem. Corruption has expanded because we are willing to put up with it.

You are right, Yash. When we try to blame others as if other are coming from outer space to do bad things to us. We forget they are one of us only. A corrupt judge, a corrupt IAS officer and a corrupt minister often come from the same family. What is the point blaming each other?

The 1971 war was idiotic. It made Pakistan compact and strong and created a new more dangerous enemy on our eastern flank. The only congressman who actually benefited India was P.V. Narasimha Rao, who liberalised the economy in teeth of massive opposition, opened up links with Israel, Created the Look East Policy. And for his pains, he was humiliated and booted out !
