Nice article,but the things are so obvious.I mean these things are so true that i dont expect any hate mail.democracy is an align concept to us Indians having lived as slaves for centuries.In fact we should not also look toward the religion coz we go to temples only to beg and never to thank what we have got.In fact its a horrible state and as a society we are fast disintegrating.And funnily enough whenever someone points the shortcomings to members of society,he is labelled anti-social.Remember how people were saying that movies like slumdog.. are a conspiracy to show india negatively.But every street in India resembles the one in the movie,and it was a gruesome reminder to put ourselves in place.One more example I'd like to give is how we treat cows,an important animal from religious point of view.I have no hesitation in saying that for us the importance of religion is not even equivalent to tissue papaers.
