Well its a brilliant Article from all angles, but the problem is Indian polity-would this polity make policies that inculcate the Tiger’s strength into this Elephant?The list is mammoth and every Indian is definitely not Happy with the present system of Governance in our Country.Our only achievement is that we are Democracy-and that is not a Small achievement considering our neighborhood comprising of Pakistan,China,Bangladesh,Nepal,Myanmar.All are non-democratic in the form of one party rule,dictatorship e.t.c.Napoleon once famously remarked about China”There lies a Sleeping giant.Let him sleep! For when he awakes he will move the world.”We as Indians pray today that we as a gigantic Country too awake early and displace this giant as one of the most powerful economic and military powerhouse of the World,this being when we are a Democracy.
