India's Road blocks towards HOMOGENEOUS Development

[hembo]

If a pakistani or chinese member posts negative news about India, usually the thread ends up in flame war. But I want people to constructively debate our shortcomings too. There's no point only glorifying only the achievements and keeping the darker side under the carpet.

Widespread corruption, poverty coupled with age old caste/ class systems are few of the greatest evil of our present. It is high time we as the educated and blessed ones try to at least speak on these issues, rather them simply patting our own back.

Honest request to all sane members: Please try to keep the thread honest and constructive and donot fall prey to provocations from trolls.
