Obama is a courageoous President.He understands the problems and does not hesitate to speak his mind as distinct from the so called leaders in this country with the exception of Subramanian Swamy.John Galbraith called Indian democracy, a functioning anarchy.It is not just the leaders to be blamed for this state of affairs. We are an irresponsible lot.Having known very well that some of the leaders are incompetent and corrupt, we elect them repeatedly. We do not hesitate to encourage corruption. We misuse the facilities. The roads are not properly maintained.We do not take objection. We misuse the roads and footpaths. We park our cars on the roads leaving little room for the traffic. We do not care for the traffic laws. We overtake from the left and right. We honk our horns loudly when there is no need for it scaring the pedestrians, handicapped and poor cyclists. Buses block the small roads which should be prohibited for them. Auto rickshaw drivers do not observe any rules and would go to the place of their choice and if your destination happens to be the same, you are lucky.They are also unscrupulous as they would demand double the fare without any rhyme or reason and helpless commuters who won't spare a rupee for the temple or the temple beggar, would be compelled to pay to the auto driver because of the necessity.The fellow inside the bus would spit without caring to know that the contents would fall on the head of someone. Roadsides are used as urinals.
We feel a great sense of pride when someone tells us that. But in what ways are we rising ? Rising prices of everything ? Rising corruption ? Politicians and their goons looting in thousands of crores ? Rising family members of politicians ? Rising poverty ( who cares about the poor anyway ), rising crime ( even Bombay is not a safe place anymore )?
HNI (High Networth Individuals with more than 100 million Yuan) Chinese are leaving China with their wealth and immigrating to other countries (27% already left and 47% are in different stages of preparation) . This drain of riches is has tipped the scale to an extent that it has already lost all the FDIs it got till date.
Keep in mind that its a election rhetoric. Truth is somewhere between it. Dont get too exited. Remember the words " India is in self appointed UN members"
I tend to agree with Obama's comment about quality healthcare. My uncle was misdiagnosed for almost 10 years by the best doctors in Mumbai. We took him to K.E.M., Jaslok, best specialists and no one could figure out. Finally after 10 years a Cardiologist from NIH (National Institutes of Health) in US diagnosed his condition within 2 visits.
