For sake of Chandan: here is the
simple explanation of my statement in simple English. To help him, I have
inserted the phrases in.
(Let us assume) He
is absolutely correct. (In his assumption) We must blame the
system (of governance). (Thus )USA system
(of governance) is better than Indian system (of
governance, since it a reported that there is more corruption in India than in
the USA). In the same analogy though, within the Indian system we must
blame the Assam state system (of governance) for Assam
being more corrupt than other states (as has been reported widely in the
press).
Now all we need to find out why the
Assam system (of governance) is inferior than other state
system (within India).
Eureka.
Now we need to figure out why the
Assam governance system if more corrupt than other states and who and how to fix
it.
Let us hear what Chandan
says about it.
Is GOI responsible for
Assam governance being more corrupt.
Or he denies that Assam
governance is not more corrupt than other states.
Is it the responsibility of
the people of Assam or GOI to fix the Assam governance?
Which one it
is.?
Don't bring the issue of
sovereignty, Just answer the question.
RB.

He is abosoluetely correct. We
must blame the system. USA system is better than Indian system. In the same
analogy though, within the Indian system we must bllame the Assam state system
for Assam being more corrupt than other states.
Now all we need to find out why
the Assam system is inferrior than other state system.
