Actually improved by 5 places. Its shameful, but who all to blame. We can fight all day on that.
As a foreigner who lives abroad, when my friends talk to me about India's shortcomings, I have to listen to them.
And when they (Non Indians) or the whole world for that matters, look at India from any particular angle, without extrapolating who ruled when.
Its India's image that gets ruined. No matter who ruled.
India is India, political parties or not.
If the previous government looted India's wealth, India became poor country, could not repay IMF, and said, hey we are BJP, it was congress who looted, so we can not pay.
Above is not tenable.
When I was living in Sweden, my Swedish friend jokingly ridiculed India by saying "hey your government must be filthy rich, they are flying people by charter plane to Saudi Arabia on their expenses"
He was referring to Indian Muslims who are subsidized for such services by Indian Government.
And that was the time of Bajpayee government.
Well I had to admit that yes it is very wrong, without getting into Nehru era, because foreigners are not bothered about that kind of a shik. They say what they SEE is wrong at that given time. Whether India takes steps are not is none of their job. But the world talks and can not be stopped.
So when I see something wrong, I have to blame India and its present government.
And now you, who comes with previous government theory.
Let me ask you:
Who were those responsible people for electing the previous (Congress) government?
Indians or Pakistanis?
