That's where we are wrong, instead of finding solution, people tell us the negative aspects without even looking at the positive one.
The responsibility you are talking about is not our problem if the other party doesn't want to be with us at the first place. Why should I became Thekedaar of entire region if I have to first raise so many people out of poverty for which I need resources and I will get it any way I can. Which is what India doing now, but you fail to see it, coz of over critical glasses your wear.
Whether its a nation or an individual, it has to think of its self interest, growth and self protection. Ek la chalo, took US, Germany and other powers to reach their pinnacle, its because of other misjudgments that led to downfall or reaching to new low.
I won't come crying if I have to get rid of few people to make my country better. would rather join Maoists, if govt. is oppressing them to fight for our rights, not a separate state or anything.
Once you become selfish enough, you know what you have to do. You can't understand what survival is, ask those who actually fight for it, if I tell them they could have got a job which has been taken by an illegal immigrant, they will follow me. That's survival. That's what happened in Maharashtra. When it comes to feed your children, you don't think of status-quo. Even rats do whatever they can to survive, why shouldn't humans.
I once asked a rickshaw wala, why you take 10 rps for such a short distance while last time the other guy only took 6 , he said he must be some immigrant who would have taken you for 4 rps. And the whole way he cursed them. There was no just competition. Here comes the survival, coz they should get 10 rps but either forced to take less or wait for one who can pay.
All this status-quo BS doesn't apply at street level.
I am not saying India failed to do few critical things, all I want is to take what is in our best interest. I want people who can give solution rather than quoting me with some philosophy which no longer applies to today's world scenario.
Philosophy as Nietzsche said it, Tagore said it, people just took it in wrong way, those who understood it, rose to the highest power.
