The recent Ayodhya report…
…slammed all the BJP leaders and cleared former Prime Minister Narasimha Rao, apparently helping the Congress.
…got leaked inconveniently, apparently helping the BJP rally together and their leader LK Advani looks to be back in business.
…put former Chief Minister Kalyan Singh in the dock, apparently helping detractors of the Samajwadi Party.
…made some strange references to Mughal and Muslim rule, apparently offending the minorities and amusing the RSS.
Isn’t that so typically Indian? Every report and committee in India apparently seems to be doing a lot of things and effectively does nothing at all.
Like today is the anniversary of 26/11. Apparently a lot of things were done. Former Home Minister Shivraj Patil had to go. Vilasrao Deshmukh is no longer the Chief Minister. Kasab was caught and gave tons of vital information. We made a lot of noises against Pakistan. A lot of CCTV cameras were set up.
But effectively, we all know that we are just as vulnerable a year down the line.
Apparently we are on our way to becoming a great nation, but effectively, I don’t know…

You’ve summed up our debacle quite well. Our democracy is a sham. The only advancement we experience is the telecom technology that’s allowing us to be part of digital communities — even here though, we persevere despite providers’ monopolistic ways.

India needs to be corruption-free in order to be secure.
I think it has more to do with Governement versus Private. The Private sector, for better or worse, has shown real progress, while the Government is still caught in a time warp. And the eradication of corruption will solve a lot of problems in one shot.
