Do you think that india need mao, not gandhi ?

They can have either, especially as both have been dead for decades.\nPerhaps, someone new would help.\nYour first answerrer raises an even bizarrer concept of asking you to speak to an 'older' Chinese person regarding Lao-tse, Confucius et al, and that Chinese person would have to be about 4000 years old. Good luck in finding one that old, but the current communist government does stay within the confines of Confucian guidance on the behaviour of the state. As for Lao, well that's the shaolins job.

Gandhi was the hope and role model (even for the leaders) for the Indians. Gandhi believed in a non-violence fight to reach their independence and Gandhi made sure of that.

No. Undoubtedly this action of Manmohan Singh is definitely wrong. This is done only to satisfy the Sonia and inturn Mukesh Ambani & other private industrialists. Mani Shankar did not yield to the politicl pressure of these people. So he was shifted from the crucial portfolio to lesser important Sports & Youth Affairs where his excellent communication skills, experience in foreign embassies are of no use.\n\nMy suggestion is that he can be given the most important External Affairs Portfolio.

We never encouraged India. In fact we are not especially happy that they have nuclear technology. However here is the difference. \n\nIndia, a thriving Democracy. A relitively free society. A responsible nation that would not use nuclear weapons without dire provocation. A nation that can be mostly trusted not to sell these weapons or through negligence allow these weapons or materials to make them fall into terrorist hands. \n\nIran, making a first stab at Democracy but suffered a severe set back in last elections. A very regimented society bereft of many freedoms Westerners take for granted.  An unstable government leads a nation with a president who actually claims the Holocust never happened. As bad as Western leaders have been in the last 40 years there have been none that were openly delusional like this.  Iran has ties with terrorist organizations and it's Gov is riddled with terrorist sympathizers. It is almost certain that nuclear weapons in Iran or even the materials to make them if the weapons did not exist would fall into the hands of terrorists. Even if the Gov honestly attempted to stop it, there is too much support for terrorism in segments of Iranian society to stop such theft. \n\nIn short, India has the bomb life goes on as always. Iran has the bomb or even the materials needed for one, at least one major city will be blown up killing at least 2 million people. After which a war would start that would likely erase man from the face of the planet. \n\nIslamics somehow thing they can use biological and nuclear weapons and not see their own children if not the entire race wiped off the planet. Why this I would love to hear. More so I would really like to know why ANY Islamic could possibly believe it was safe for any person in the world if most Islamic nations posessed biological or nuclear weapons.

BJP is in a bad position, so there's no way BJP will come back to power if elections were to be held today. So the only other option is Congress, most likely forming a coalition. Now, assuming that everything goes the way it is right now, Manmohan Singh is going good, and he will be most likely the prime minister, unless he chooses not to be. I highly doubt Sonia Gandhi becoming PM of India, but maybe, Rajiv Gandhi.

That’s a tough question since both are iconic figures who contributed so much to the betterment of humanity. I suppose I would save Gandhi because his vision was far broader in scope than Martin Luther King Jr. Martin Luther King Jr. inspired the civil rights movement in this country, but Gandhi compelled the act of civil disobedience around the world. If you look around the globe, at any group, in any country, where civil obedience is practiced, outside of the United States, they will always cite Gandhi as their primary example and inspiration.

There is no doubt that if given enough resources, India could one of the country who could make a difference. in last 1000 years, India is the only country who hasn't invaded anyone. considering that fact, India believes in peace and sentimental values, rather than profit and wealth (u are probably wondering what does that have to do with anything, but i have point) \nBut think of it this way, from a sociological aspect, families in India encourage their children to go other places to have peaceful life, away from all the curruption, rather than teaching their kids to make a difference in their own society. for example (very rich and famous one), an individual becomes a doctor, but he wants to practice anywhere but in India. they think, if i leave, how much impact am i going to have by staying here?? Indian people are smart, but not driven. they have values but no devotion for their community and country. thus, National health service lacks the resources of devoted people, not intellectuality or ethics. AND of course, corruption at so many levels. YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!!!

you are right... anyone committed to peace, neither holds a gun or sells them to others.  gandhi was a perfect example of that.

No. Indira Gandhi and Mahatma Gandhi are in no way related (except for both being members of the Congress party). Indira Gandhi was the daughter of India's first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and his wife Kamala. She was the third Prime Minister of India and was married to Feroze Gandhi. She represented the second generation of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty in India. Sanjay Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi were her sons. Sonia Gandhi (present chairperson of the United Progressive Alliance, currently in power in India) is the Wife of Rajiv Gandhi.

Without being too invasive or rude, I dont really know what is going on in dheli. There are people driving their cars, vans and lorries at top speed, beeping their horns and going thru red lights, and you are worried about a move towards communism? Did you ever stop to think that maybe communism is EXACTLY what India needs to become the rich, prosperous country we all know it can be. Its the corrupt government that let india down. Look at places like chadigarah - a communist state - one of the most beautiful cities in india. There is no welfare state - that means no government support for unemployed, sick or poor. Fix up and take a stand. As a british born Indian woman - I wish i could do more to help my motherland become then best it can be.

Hm mm. very interesting point of view.I feel the human race as a whole is closer to the stars than the jungle.However some would like to halt progress in the hopes they can dominate and control the masses.India is one of the more developed cultures in our time with knowledge and reason they dealt with the Taliban destroying 3,000 year old religious shrines.They dealt with the Islamic intrusion in Cashmere region.So I personally feel the odds of India becoming a welcome member of democracy is better than 50/50.Once the seed has been planted it will grow slow at times fast at others but you will never undo it's growth now that it has been tasted it will fight to survive.India's best days are yet to come.I can't say for sure if it is a true democracy however it is trying hard to be one,give it time and it shall be

India was once an ally of the Soviet Union and was part of the now non-existent Non Aligned Movement. They also have a long history of non-violence. They can probably be a trade partner, like China is, but not a military ally.\n\nAnd I agree with MC Hummer. Indians, regardless of their state of industrialization, voted out an ultra-conservative, ultra-patriotic government for a more liberal one. A billion people voting to do that is indeed quite a democracy.

Well politician are like british "Divide and Rule" they are the most sefish and mean peoples on earth, there is no moral in them. I feel there should be a free education for lower class people at all the level but the reservation is absurd. they follow the minority appeasement policy and that will be disastrous for India. I am sick of it and i am going to start a new movement, and that is "Quit India". i can't see India like this and i feel helpless so i am planning to quit India very soon.\n\nADi
