India is democratic country and a good one at that.\n\nHowever the problem lies in the way people can be manipulated for their votes.\n\nIf a vast majority of population lives on less than a dollar a day, it is not very difficult to get their vote in return for some money, is it?\n\nThe solution lies in educating people and making them financially well-off, make them realize the power of their vote.\n\nIt is for the young and educated of the country to quit talking about it and start doing something about it.

India is one of the worst nations on earth because of the discriminating "caste system" which is still adhered to by indians - your constitution is only worth the paper it's wriiten on. your leaders, politicians and authorities do not have the political will to enforce anything that does not make money. Your system of democracy stinks - it does not work for the good of the indian people.

Low standard of living, under developed industrial base, low HDI... a lot of developing countries also tend to have large amounts of cheap labor (india for call centers, malasia for computer parts) which, despite common misconception, is actually very good for the developing countries.

i am singaporean\n\ni think India has very rich and interesting cultures that goes back thousands of years...indian food is really good (i love southern indian food)\nand i think that there is a lot of talented and smart people in India.  I also think that there is a lot of poverty in India and that there is a big socio-economic gap between rich and poor..i also think that there are religious problems between Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus and hopefully these problems might lessen in time... I have never been to india so this is what i know through reading or watching the TV..i really hope to travel there some day..\ncheers

Nah, I think of India as the country with largest number of tigers, Asian elephants or to be simple naturally marvellous.\n\nAbout the people, I think of them as a third-world country but with many IT whizzes and medics.\n\nAbout the belief, I think of them as a people of colourful and unique cultures.\n\nThere are also a lot of languages used by Indians themselves.\n\nAh, yes. India reminds me of two of the top Yahoo! Answers users; Anirudh Koul and Batman.\n\nAh, another one about India; nuclear weapon.

Is this about the controversy in india concerning castes?  Is going to things like procedural issues really helping?  What are the real issues?  What do you think about the opportunities for lower castes?  Is improvement needed? How would you suggest the improvement be made?  Or is the system ok the way it is?  Do you feel lower castes are inferior inherently, in their decision-making or do you feel they simply are discriminated against.  What do you really think?

Not good. Especially as we believe it is hogwash and lies made up by the media. India remains to us a thrid world country with good cheap labor.

its a very tough race to get worst minister spot.\n i feel all ministers (except manmohan,antony,and few others) are corrupt\nalthough bihar is commonly considered the worst state in india(and in many ways rightly so) i want to shed some light on the pathetic condition of our north east states such as manipur and nagaland.\nterrorism from maoists is a major problem and it gets funding from china.\nthere are many tribal wars where there are incidents of stopping buses separating the people of the enemy tribe.they are then they are made to do gruesome things such as cut out their own flesh and eat it and salt is applied on the raw skin\nthere are head hunters there this means tribal leaders that attack other villages,kill the people and collect their heads\nblack magic is commonly practiced\nnagas staying in manipur have a direct 25%cut in their salaries (this money goes to the terrorists) just because they stay in a state which is not 'theirs'\nthe many army men of our country who are stationed in these states are no friend of the locals (even though their duty is to protect the people) because they commonly commit crimes such as rape on the locals even innocent children\nand to make things worse there is no hope of justice because the courts themselves are filled with very corrupt wrong doers\nthe tourism board has given north east the label 'paradise unexplored' and this incredibly beautiful place will remain unexplored with its many problems showing no hope of a brighter future

Educated people have come to power (Manmohan Singh) in India and the decrease in "corrupt and illiterate" politicians is happening. Obviously, it isn't happening exponentially, but there is a decrease and India is becoming a more politically honest country. Bihar is still a problem, as usual. The mob is still a problem as well, but the Indian government is actively cracking down on these illegal groups.

the main prolem of india is corruption. There is no part in india where there is no corruption.All the money government spents for public welfare measures,almost half of it is used by these corrupted officers.government is not taking any measure to control this problem.\nsecondly,there are only few indians worried about the condition of country.i heard some people saying ,"why should we worry if any one is corrupt or not?we cannot change the india.india will drown in a few  years"if this is mentality of people,then surely india will drown.they go on blamming the goverment but do not do their duties.

India is the Best! Yes, Given the culture that is thousands of years old, yet, relevant till today. It is a land of riches, which was looted by the Muslims and British. But it will rise again! you all can already see, it is the fastest growing country. IT is a very strong nation, with ethics and it is worlds largest democracy. It is the only Country in the world that shows immence tolerance, which you cannot find anywhere else! INDIA IS GREAT. AND IT IS RISING! AND IT WILL LEAD THE WORLD INTO ETERNAL ENLIGHTMENT! JAI HIND

Every time we just get away with our inefficient system by blaming just politicians. The real problem is with our democracy and not with our politicians. Who said we are not hard working?.We have no.1 intelligent work force in the world and we have all the potential to make our India 10 times better than present super power countries. Just think what is stopping us. In the false name of democracy we are fooling our selves. You can see the situation in Mumbai where whole lot of beggars in the country are flocked in the airport road with lot of slums. You blame our politicians. But maharashtra CM took initiative to remove and shift these slums elsewhere so that our country's image can be maintained. Everyone who just land from western countries have first vision of India at the airport road and those people take us for granted. Now let me tell you what happened after that. There were lot of cues and cries from human right organisation,media , NGO and what not supporting the slum dwellers. In the democracy we have lot of problem in implementing the things efficiently.\n\nLet us take a hypothetical case .\n\nIf we want to build beautiful highway in India with 8 lanes same as in New york or Washington DC what will happen in India? \n\nEnvironmentalists will started crying deserting vast lands will result in cutting of trees , then reduction in rain etc.,\n\nWhat those people who have to vacate houses (Though most of them are illegal only)to implement highway project will do ? They will hold demonstration and will move the case to court and will challenge the might of the government with the power of so called democracy!!!!\n\nWhat will Communist(India) claim is that there is plot of international community to hinder our progress by arousing so many people to insurgency.\n\nNext day Opposition will claim resignation of CM because so many people are pushed to vacate their houses.\n\nAlso there is no unity among Indians. If TamilNadu state ask for Cauvery water for TN agriculture Karnataka state refuses to give as if TN is another neighbour country.\n\nThere is no Single national leader in our country who have support of 1 billion people. All leaders enjoy influence only in their home state. Nobody know them out side their home state. \n\nThere is no understanding between each states in India. They act like as if collection of small small individual countries and Govt of India behaves like Indian Union sounds similar with European union.\n\nIn order for India to become super power linking of river gaunges with river cauvery is very important. For that we may need support of all the concerned states in India and huge fund to implement that.\n\nWe have lot of inefficiency with our democracy and simply the system which produces irresponsible people and corrupt politicians. So we to focus on making a good democracy and system instead of blaming polticians.\n\nThank you very much for asking good question which will force every Indian to think.\n\nJay Hindh

I'm sourthern Indian and I'm ashamed to say that the caste system stays alive and well here. (It's worse in the North with added problems.) Many of us throw all of these out and believe every human being is the same as the other. There is no 'low' and no 'high'. Consider this the same as racism. Most of them are not fortunate to break away from the caste system, because of the way they've been brought up -  to think that this is 'right'. It's going to take a very long time for India to turn around. Having said that, we've got lots of beauty in our people too and most of my friends have married people from other communities and inter-racially too :-) Of course, the whole bunch is judged by one bad apple. Pity, this opinion will stick, untill the entire problem goes away.
