already seen,you could have written something about what could be done.One thing which I thought needed more insight into was the Economic Policy in our country,where the rich grow richer and the poor grow poorer everyday and what could be done to reduce this economic divide,which is not so huge in case of countries like France.How can we establish a transparent economic system in India?I feel the economic policy is the crux of the problem,if solved,half the problems will be solved.Also the long established policies have to change and the Constitution also needs a revamp.&lt;BR/&gt;Anyway all these discussions will never end.&lt;BR/&gt;The people who have become famous,have only filled their own pockets,but ask how many pay taxes religiously?&lt;BR/&gt;Anyway considering the positive side of it,we can only console ourselves saying after all the country is not going to dogs right now,thats it.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml'

not go around wishing everyone "happy indeppendence day",but it does make me proud to be an Indian.of course there are negatives in every country,only happens that ours may have a few more than the others(no offence meant).as far as the hurdles faced by the people are concerned ,it is not totally the government or the peoples part,everyone plays an equal role in all of this.i do strongly believe that we should have had a 2 party system implemented in our country for better political control(but then its only my opinion).the main problems of the scams is that the politicians feel they can get away with it so if we enforce some strict action on them then maybe it'll reduce.this again depends on the judicial system which is slow,but things are improving.i do salute the great achievers of India who have made a mark inspite of the challenges faced by them.kudos to them.they are one of the reasons i am proud of my nation.i do also believe that our nation has great potential and to become a world leader.but it just needs time and dedication.and of course the last part of the blog i totally agree with that a lil more extra effort in our own work and we can make a difference to the nation.&lt;BR/&gt;Jai Hind!&lt;BR/&gt;-balaji</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml'
