India is an emerging super power. India is a very important strategic partner for the US. India is the rapidly developing economy the world is eagerly watching. India is developing and sets foot in many new areas.
The two mostly accepted political systems, the Communism and Capitalism, have by large failed. Communism failed with the fall of Russia and capitalism is falling with the economic crisis surrounding the United States.
Much has been spoken about the downfall of the Capitalism. Some commentators here feel pride about the fact that capitalism has fallen and that the mixed economic system followed by India is the best system in the world. I seriously disagree with such argument that Capitalism is not the solution for development. One should not view only the economic part of it. Capitalism has only failed economically. The economic crisis has lead to higher unemployment in the US. But as a nation(US), Capitalism has won far more than expected. As a nation US has progressed very well socially, technologywise, strategicwise and in many other areas. People all over the world would amuse over the liberty enjoyed by the people in the US. The kind of liberty enjoyed by the people shows how much educated they are. In US it is not an issue when a person calls US "F***in US". They know that because of such illicit remarks by persons their country's worth wont diminish. Technologywise, US are the leaders in space and military equipment capabilities. They conduct more research and advance to higher levels in science and technology. Be it education, health, space, bureaucrat functioning, military they are matured and well advanced. In all these well being of American people is the main motto. The motto makes them work hard and be a superpower. Post 9/11 no terror strike was carried on America. 9/11 was a jolt to American people and they learnt well from the attack. They did not let it happen again.
India should learn from America. India has not progressed well in all fields. Our education system is based on some recommendations of a british gentleman which he propounded some 150 odd years ago. Legally, our constitution is largely based on british constitution. In healthcare India is the poorest than many under developed countries. Technologywise, we use second hand and outdated technology of developed countries. The political system is so worse that people cannot even have a Lokpal Bill. The very political system of India needs change. This multi party system wont work out well in coming years. If India has to develop inclusively i.e all walks of people see economic development, it has sit and rethink about its parliamentary system. Rather than setting agenda for five years, there should be a long term agenda. Vision 2020 was a noble approach but India has far before forgot about that. The present system cannot solve the problems of the country. It creates more problems. India needs to restructure its political system and evolve a system which addresses the needs and problems of common man. Then automatically we can achieve a inclusive growth.
And of terror attacks, we are soft targets. India has been victim of terror many times. The military and police capability is poor. Police is strict only on people who smoke in public and on those who return home after watching second show. Terrorists feel that Indians are having weak approach toward terror and they wont be punished even if caught. No security for people here. Only politicians, VVIPs, keeps of the former two, terrorists enjoy security. We people risk our lives and live a living only to die in another terror strike. India's approach towards terrorism is disheartening and funny. Human rights issue arises on a captured terrorist and not on the people who died because of the terrorist activities.
So it is not fascinating to to tell capitalism has fallen. Capitalism has failed as economy but it has progressed very well as a nation. While mixed one has done well as an economy but has failed as a nation. The India today is not the India what our forefathers thought her to be.
