India is emerging as a modern power. India is showing very good growth in services and manufacturing. But to become a truly modern state one must address the problems that India faces. What ails India at present? Let us discuss that.
India has a vibrant democracy. But there are some issues that are working against the nation. In the lower house, most of the time is lost in useless activities such as walk-outs etc. The representatives need to pay more attention to the work rather than boycotting the proceedings.
Today, communalism is one of the main threats to India. Communalism of all communities is eating into the social fabric. Hindus are trying to contain Muslim influence. Muslims are trying to get more facilities from the government and Christians are accused of trying to convert others to Christianity. This is causing problems around the country especially in the state of Orissa.
Terrorism is another very big problem in India. Pakistan exported terrorism has been playing havoc with India since decades. It shows no sign of reducing. Now with Afghanistan under threat of taliban and spreading militancy in Pakistan, India will face more trouble from Pakistan. There is no respite from terrorists that enter India supported by Pakistan. Pakistan does not want to stop them and for historic reasons will continue bleeding India till India becomes very powerful compared to Pakistan.
Distribution of wealth is a big problem. Rich people are getting richer, the middle class is growing stronger but the poor suffer the same ills since ever. No drinking water, no education, no power, no dwellings, the list is endless. Unless a government puts all efforts in eradicating these ills by plugging all loopholes and bringing an end to corruption, these problems will continue.
India will have to address all these problems while sustaining the vibrant democratic structure to emerge as a real super power over next few decades.
