After a prolonged struggle India got freedom 62 years ago and since then our stupendous growth has made everyone wonder. Our biggest achievement- maintaining a reasonably fair democracy with other things like presence of India across the globe, landing of Chandrayaan on the moon, stable economy, technological growth- are some of the things we can really proud of without being unrealistic.
Perhaps it was our fate [D: it was written] that the unbridled India did not scattered into fragments as expected because of its diversity. India not only protected its sovereignty but became a role model for other counties. Today you can find an Indian in almost everywhere in the world. Could we think a white guy working under a brown before 50 years? It may be a cause for frustration for many people, what is going on in Australia may be such an instance.
Foundation of world class institutions like IITs (yes NITs have miles to go), IIMs, IISc, ISRO, many universities, etc; development of technological infrastructures like gigantic dams, nuclear centers, world class highways and railways, etc; human resource development activities like green and white revolutions, PDS (Public Distribution System), empowering Panchayati Raj- were a quantum leap for the country.
The de facto poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, corruption, lack of proper infrastructure, inaccessible bureaucracy, terrorism, now naxalism and regionalism are some of the problems with hinder our progress with people. Education, Infrastructure and Governance are three areas in my view that should be dealt with proper planning and energy. People especially youth who want to do something important for the nation are aggrieved because of the unfair and lack of opportunity. We are engaged in paltry things like religion, state, caste, etc and so are our representatives at the capital.
We must have proper contingency plans for dealing with floods, droughts, inflation in food prices, any type of economic meltdown, etc. With a sense of Indianism irrespective of the place or environment of our work we can see comfortably that the things achieved so far are only a prelude to the India ahead. When we are successful to make every Indian proud of being an Indian, will be the biggest achievement for us.

Indians-JAI HO!
Incredible India and its unpredictable people have been showing that no one can speculate about them. The UPA and the Congress party has been given clear mandate this time against all the forecasts of political analysts.
This clearly indicates that the people of India have understood the disadvantage of coalition government and the reality of regional parties specially at national politics. They have taught a lesson that criticizing others, provoking people, threatening the; instead of talking about own development programmes will cost them now.
Except BJD, all the regional parties are rejected by the people. Their over ambitions, outdated ideology, cheap and blackmailing politics; made them understood their status in Indian politics.
The defeat of BJP in many states and loss of many seats in their saffron belt clearly shows that the people do not want the politics of hatred in the name of culture and religion. Defeat of PMK in Tamilnadu also reveals that Tamils are not at all interested in their views. On the other hand few seats to TRS also indicates that the people of Telangana region understand the dire need of an alternate solution rather than a separate state ruled by TRS.
It is really comic as well as shameful to see some leaders, earlier ready with their blackmailing terms and conditions; are now waiting to get the mercy of the government by showing sudden loyalty.
So, this elections will always be remembered for teaching a lesson to everyone so that next time they can mend their ways, otherwise they will be eliminated from Indian politics!

The Coalition Theorem
Now the decisive time has come which will decide the future of India not only for the next five years but beyond that. "The General Elections", the only but powerful weapon of the common men, but the evolution of 'Coalition Theorem' has made them less powerful!
Because of our diversity there are so many representative parties in India. I don't think there are so many differences in the political manifestos of different parties. But since we vote the people for their culture, language, religion; and not for their ideas, worthiness, sincerity. This ultimately leads to Coalition Government. Though coalition can be the best representation of people but the coalition theorem which always changes is not justified. The coalition of those parties who are rivals and who get vote because the people don't want others. In some places where because of the seat-sharing politics, the able candidates are not given opportunity to get the fruit of their work and they have to ask people for voting others who may separate themselves just after few months. Now how this can be the proper representation of the people?
Since we have proper rules and regulations for almost everything, we should have strict rules for the Coalition Case also. Because coalition in its present form is not promising for a better future of India and it can't represent Democracy.
