The caste system is a severe stumbling block for me accepting India's culture.  I find it offensive, yet it seems that quite a few people in India take it so seriously that it has political currency, so reservations based on caste probably gets votes - particularly if it favors a majority caste over a minority... more votes, even if it is not the best policy in regards of really looking for the best and brightest.\n\nI also looked over theories on the formation of castes and it seems to me that it should be more like... unions?  cliques?  I'm not sure how to put a label on it, but at one point someone probably noticed that certain groups of people with like interests tended to flock together to form social groups.  Now, with advanced educational systems, it is more obvious that someone could have different ideas from their parents and WANT to join a different group based on differing interests - not merely economic... You would still have these groups, but not based on lineage...

Nepal's got some problems, they got Maoist revolutionaries knocking down the front door, and a monarchy that needs to leave by the back door , so democracy can form. Am very surprised the US is just idly watching this. We're on the verge of losing Nepal to China.It wouldn't take as much to form a democracy there, as say Afghanistan, If we could just get the monarchy to listen, and let us or India, anyone really,{except China} put in a few thousand troops for stability.

India was once an ally of the Soviet Union and was part of the now non-existent Non Aligned Movement. They also have a long history of non-violence. They can probably be a trade partner, like China is, but not a military ally.\n\nAnd I agree with MC Hummer. Indians, regardless of their state of industrialization, voted out an ultra-conservative, ultra-patriotic government for a more liberal one. A billion people voting to do that is indeed quite a democracy.

India is one of the worst nations on earth because of the discriminating "caste system" which is still adhered to by indians - your constitution is only worth the paper it's wriiten on. your leaders, politicians and authorities do not have the political will to enforce anything that does not make money. Your system of democracy stinks - it does not work for the good of the indian people.

We are getting respect in the world becouse of our Democracy and Secularism and Indians are also happy with it. In today’s world economy is more important then religion. Can a Hindu Nation give more food to poor and better health and education facilities?

China. India is the world's biggest democracy. Population wise. So the US has been working with the Indian Government. But China is still under Communist rule and still hates Capitalists.

Well, the political system of the Unted States does have some democratic features, however, it is far from a true democracy. Speaking about the actual system, not just the abuse of power occuring as of late. \n\nAnd bucksrams, thanks for the good laugh. \n\nIn all seriousness, Switzerland is probably the country that resembles a democracy the most in the world of today.

As Mr. Bal Thackeray put it very rightly once: India is the only democracy where people do not cast votes, they rather vote castes!\nIt is an irony that people at the micro level in India still believe in caste system. That is your behaviour etc. is partly judged by your religion/castes. That is really sad. \nBut for it to change, family and social setup of Indian families need to change. Hai na?

Well politician are like british "Divide and Rule" they are the most sefish and mean peoples on earth, there is no moral in them. I feel there should be a free education for lower class people at all the level but the reservation is absurd. they follow the minority appeasement policy and that will be disastrous for India. I am sick of it and i am going to start a new movement, and that is "Quit India". i can't see India like this and i feel helpless so i am planning to quit India very soon.\n\nADi

Well, yes. India does have a parlimentary form of government that is accountable to  its citizens.  Americans have a right to information too.  If you have information, you can make an informed decision when you vote.  This is a way to have a responsible government.

yes, there is too much division and no discussion going on in this country.  democracy is about debate.  that means you have to listen as well as speak.
