3) Growing Terrorism - Hmmm...could we be doing anything to piss anyone off so that they would want to kill us? Last I checked we hadn't invaded any...oh, nevermind...or bombed any weddings...Oops, nevermind again...well at least we haven't tortured any...Ah, I give up.

Gee, where do I start.  Let's see, corrupt government. Incompetent officials.  Brutal police force and military.  Deep religious divide.  Lack of accountability (I guess that goes with the corrupt government).  I would be surprised if it's NOT falling apart.  It has been failing apart for a good part of the past few centuries.

5. \n\n  they have all the legal/ constituotional rights and some times more rights than majority. for while they are allowed to open community schools and organnizations to propogate and preserve their culture those sects which are accepted in hinduism can not do so. hindu temples are taxed. muslims going to mecca are subsidised from government funds. they still have personal laws and for marriage divorce or inheritence they go by it. \n\n  in undevided india muslims were 14% of poplulation. in  pakistan area hindus were 23% and bagladesh 33%. now they are 2% and 10 % of the population in respective countries. but in india muslims are 20-30% of population. we have muslim immigraents legal and illegal both kind from all neighbouring countries. be it bangladesh , afganistan even pakistan. i doubt in any other country a community which gave the majority so many grivences will dare to go if they had any fear of being retaliated.\n\n  in india, majority of hindus behaves tolerantly. there have been a few hindu retaliations but each time it happenned when pushed too far by continuous  one sided provocations of minorities . \n\n    though i am getting worried if we could keep this fabric in future upto much extent. ongoing conversion to christianity drives are posing new challages to majority patience.\n\n   church has always resorted to theological deciet for conversion in india. they often pick local heroic stories and replace name of jesus with it. in Asam they replace name of rama and krishna with jesus in famous bar geets till the locals reacted angrily . last year on krishna janmashtami they set up stalls and the pictures based on krishna's life in Banglore. but they replced Krishna with infant jesus . all the famous devotees of Krishna were shown as they were worshipping jesus instead. \n\n Church congregations use harassment, ostracism and other forms of force to increase their flock. Non-converted portions of a family land into disputes with neo-Christian portions over funeral customs, ownership of land and other matters and this result in clashes between groups which newspapers promptly label as anti–Christian acts, whereas these are often clashes between converted and non-converted tribals.\n\nchristians mssionaries in India have often been a divisive force, which used the tribals for advocating a breaking-up of the country. Today, Christian terrorists feel emboldened to use the gun to force Jesus down the throats of unwilling tribals. North East india is the worst affected part.\n\n missionaries actively involve in bad mouthing local relegions. last year a mr cooper came on tourist visa. he not only violated visa rules he went on to call Krishna a satan and that Krishna is the cause of AIDS.they keep on behaving outragiously for conversion and when locals react even a bit they call it christian persecution. \n\nI sincerely hope that we will able to take this pressure in future too and will be able overcome it in a peacefull manner maintaing our own heritage, culture and beliefs. It is really unique. unity between diversity is our motto for at least 6000 years now.

Democracy is voting,\nVoting is right to choose.\nSo without voting there is no democracy.\nWhat else can be more important then that.

I think each country must fight it's own wars if it wants democracy.  If the people want it badly enough they'll do so, it's not up to others to step in and hand it to them or cram it down their throats.

Umm i read that book last year.... but maybe this can help \n\nWilliam Golding presented numerous themes and basic ideas that give the reader something to think about. One of the most basic and obvious themes is that society holds everyone together, and without these conditions, our ideals, values, and the basics of right and wrong are lost. Without society's rigid rules, anarchy and savagery can come to light.\n\nGolding is also showing that morals come directly from our surroundings, and if there is no civilization around us, we will lose these values.\n\nOther secondary themes include the following:\n\nPeople will abuse power when it's not earned. \n*When given a chance, people often single out another to degrade to improve their own security. \n*You can only cover up inner savagery so long before it breaks out, given the right situation. \n*It's better to examine the consequences of a decision before you make it than to discover them afterward. \n*The fear of the unknown can be a powerful force, which can turn you to either insight or hysteria. \n\n\nummm this is yahoo india, they read that book in india?

Absolutely NOT!!!  Your statement, 'Many parties tend to keep each other honest, and would represent all levels of society.' is a the most accurate assesment of what is TRUE DEMOCRACY!!!

Does this work for you?\n\nhttp://www.census.gov/ipc/www/idbnew.html\n\n\nI also came across this tidbi you might find interesting.\n\nSome crime statistics from 19th Century India are particularly illuminating with regard to our thesis. In 1881 the frequency of crime by religion was as follows: one of 274 Christian Europeans committed a crime; one of 799 Christian Indians did so; one of 1,361 Hindus; and one of 3,787 Buddhists. If the Jains had been included in this count, one would have expected an even higher ratio for them. With regard to the native Christian count, an English official made the following observation: "It appears from these figures that while we effect a very marked moral deterioration in the natives by converting them to our creed, their natural standard of morality is so high that, however much we Christianize them, we cannot succeed in making them altogether as bad as ourselves." An 1899 statistical dictionary reported that for every 100,000 people in Western Europe there were from 100-230 prisoners; 190 for England; and 38 for India.\n\nhttp://www.class.uidaho.edu/ngier/hindfund.htm\n\n\n\nThere may be something here:\nhttp://www.thearda.com/\n\nOr here:\nhttp://www.worldchristiandatabase.org/wcd/

A Democracy can operate using a number of different voting systems, but essentially needs to ensure that the Government renews its mandate on a regular basis (4 to 5 years).\n\nAll people of a country must be involved in the democratic process.\n\nThe Government must be independant from the Judiciary. The courst must be free to pass judgement based around the laws of the land rather than on the political will of the Government.\n\nThe Government will need support from a non-partisan civil authority to ensure that laws are drafted correctly and constitutionally. The civil authorities also ensure that government policy is carried out.\n\nThe policing of a Democracy must be answerable to the courts as well as the civil authorities.\n\nTaxes pay for all of this.\n\nThe best or worst democracy is a subjective matter. Good or bad is not measurable in a way that allows comparison between the various systems.\n\nYou could survey different populations to take their views, but that will have problems. Bad Governments will try and influence the results and people may answer based around their view of their politicians rather than on the system itself.

The Indian parliament was attacked by terrorists with 15 people killed. Whether you are referring to politics in another country such as the US is another matter.

He Raam !\nWhat do you think the Bharatiya Janata Party has been doing for so long ?\nIn a Democracy, everyone has the right to propose any such sectarian and exclusive agendas - but it is still upto the Indian citizens to elect, or reject, such politicians !

Yes.  Democracy encompasses more than just geographical borders.  It is a philosophy that is largely built upon the foundation of law, and freedom of choice.  As long as men continue to value individual freedom and freethinking there will be democracy.  I don't foresee a world filled with dark, gothic, Batman-like figures devouring the poor without a fight.  That's how France and America became great anyway.  Don't forget.  Lights of liberty we all must be.

Democracy, because a theocracy could and would EASILY take away many of the freedoms we take for granted.\n\nGoodbye to questioning the government and saying the government does something wrong against humanity in its policies. If it's religious doctrine, it's ok. Goodbye to worshipping the religion you believe in because as many religions as are out there, the chance of being in a theocracy where your religion is in command is fairly slim. Kiss women's rights goodbye. According to some religious doctrines, women aren't good for much besides submission to their husbands without question and having babies.\n\nKiss a lot of things we enjoy in this country goodbye if we let religion take precedence over democracy, because if we decide religion is what's the most important thing besides protecting our individual rights, we'll have a theocracy and then nobody but those in power will be free. Democracy means we choose what we want, not be told what we need.

this entire thing needs to be analysed right from the grass root level and then a steady progressive approach is required.\nfirstly the problems or hinderances or major concerns-\npoverty, education, corruption and health. firsly poverty- 30% of the population lives below the poverty line. clearly a disparity, a gap exists. not just economic but also social. this socio-economic gap has to be bridged, this requires equal distribution of power, work and money amongst everyone. it should not be concentrated in the hands of a few people. government should seperate funds annually for the poor and down trodden. education- although primary education has been made compulsory the truth is that a large part of the rural population still remains illetrate. its high time the government looks into the working of government schools where teachers instead of teaching are busy chatting, playing cards and doing everything possible except teaching.. a collaberation or support to NGOs will certainly make the task of spreading education much easier. as far as health is concerned India has good health centres but then they arent for the masses and are too few to deal with the population rising at a blistering rate. drinking water and sanitation are attached issues. small children mostly in rural areas are dying due to lack of basic amenities. and corruption.. well something that has actually crippled the society. politicians have continued with the divide and rule policy. vote bank politics(recent reservation proposal) and regional politics are issues severly damping the development rate. people should unite and rise above everything(caste, creed, religion) and should work towards making india a super power. and the global scene. India is a rising it super power which is good sign. also with healthy and fruitful international relationships with countries india will surely be on the path to success. the citizens should be responsible and honest' should follow rules, pay taxes and vote for the right person. Government needs to look into and rectify and remove the loop holes in the present structure(social, economic and political). and then there are basic things which are ignored when every one is shouting corruption and poverty. for instance India which is 100(may be more or less) number of times the size of sri lanka has fewer foreign tourists every year. imagine how much it looses out on. finally... the cumulative effects of all this will surely help India rise and become a Super Power
