well... guess if this has to continue...the country shall not get anywhere. why cant people in india ( back home for me) be honest to THEMSELVES for just a period of 5 years? we can then levarage everything we have and even make the INR the global currency! its just that sham and corruption has gone so deep that we ACCEPT IT BLINDLY now. in the UK where i stay, we do have the share of the occasional government crook...but its never that the common man suffers from it. wake up ! shripad sathe
