i agree with you
my opinion is that the main reason behind india's problems is democracy.
whenever we have a project like say a dam there are a few publicity hungry people (guess) who come forward and champion the cause of the so called oppressed. In china when the three gorges dam was built who knows how many people were forcibly displaced but when it contributes to the betterment of a nation such things dont matter.
we appear to the world as a timid race of weaklings. How do we deal with our rogue neighbours. look at Israel for that matter. Recently there was some contreversy that Israel bombed some area where a few Hamas militants were present and four children died in attack. Then as usual there were these human rights people condemning israel. but have these people ever contemplated that these same children could have joined Hamas in the future and kill many more Israelis ?
I wish I was born in some nation which had the guts to defend itself and not be bullied around in the entire world
