Thank you for replying. Yes, I do think there tends to be a lot of focus on the negative. However, I think where I disagree is that even though we are seeing progress, poverty and opportunities, it is not anywhere near what it could have been. Unless we fix the foundation, we are heading towards a very shaky future. Heres a modified quote from my favourite movie - Braveheart - "You're so concerned with squabbling for the scraps from Sonia's table that you've missed your God given right to something better. There is a difference between us. You think the people of this country exist to provide you with position. I think your position exists to provide those people with opportunity."

Thanks again...

Recently India was referred to as a banana republic. With the separation of Andhra Pradesh for votes, all the scams being swept under the rug, the amendments to RTI and the economy and the rupee devastated by poor policy and corruption...do you think its time the masses rose again? Take power back from the new Raj? It may seem extreme but India should have had an Arab spring way before the Middle east did. The problem is, Indians have a phenomenal ability to thrive in hostile, detrimental conditions and would rather adapt than revolt.
