Vote for better people or accept the status-quo
Do we have better people in India running for public office? All the
better people are busy pointing out faults in the current system or
telling others to vote for better people. If the really forward
thinking, educated folks decide to do something for the nation, we have
an alternative.
IMHO, I think the politicians have done a decent job so far, in spite of
all the corruption and faults, in keeping India as a whole. India is as
diverse as EU and just as crazy. But the greatest thing is that it is
still one nation.
I think all of us, yes we the people, need a pat on the back for keeping
it together so far. Just take a look at Iraq now... There is a very
strong notion that it will have to be split into three different
territories for peace.
Of course, I do not condone the sad state of affairs, but administering
a large country with over a billion people is no mean feat. If only we
were a small country like Singapore, it would have been so much easier.
