This is the exact problem with legacy of Congress and Gandhi from pre-independence
This is the reason that British did not mind releasing 1942 freedom movement leaders as soon it died down but never applied same policy towards Subhash Chandra Bose.... Ataly when in India clearly admitted reasons for British leaving India but never ever our politicians forgot to fools millions of us that we got our freedom because of the so called peaceful struggle for freedom....
Nehru did not understand International politics at all... Always thought how a decision would look like when his name is referenced rather than how a decision would benefit India...
But I shall not say that it is a problem just with Nehru or post Independence leaders...
The problem started right when Ashok assumed Buddhism... Unfortunately we believed too much in stories of old where opponents on battle field were magnanimous to each other... had respect for rules... It did not dawn on us that Kali Yug has actually wiped out all such values...
Under this misunderstanding Prithviraj Chauhan let Mahmood of Gazni twice from his clutches just to die the third time...
Only exception to this timidity rule was Shivaji and then possibly Sambhaji and then in some instances with Sawai Madhavrao who advised Janojirao Bhosale to help Sirajuddoula in battle of Plasi which ofcourse Janojirao did not bother to follow.... A flicker of hope just with NaMo in the way in which he is building relationships..
Good article, but biggest issue had been diversity where Main Ruler always reconciled or accommodated other Chiefs of Riyasats, as such tolerance, reconciliation with diversified group has become culture, today also we find, politicians are reconciling with appeasing issues and loose laws are made where these politicians, criminals, corrupts get gateway. Congress never took any reform in this matter.
and made india and indians a joke in the world community. Modi is taking steps however it is difficult to eliminate the 5000 years of stpidity and slave culture.

There is go :-) Our country was waiting for dramabaaaz messiah Modi, who attacks our own constitution and ridicules Indians who are back home, when he is on foreign soil, to impress the goras and get NRI funding :-)
Very true. The entire outlook was Gandhian in a fast changing world. Even a medium like television was allowed into India very late so that the then rulers got away with incompetence and loot! As a first step to integrate the defence establishment a new Indian Defence Service (like the IAS) needs to be formed where dedicated and qualified Defence personnel would coordinate with the Military( all 3 wings)establishment. These would replace the useless and corrupt civilian babus.Along with this development the post of Chief of Defence staff needs to be created asap.

If a new defence service is started, there will be another scam, similar to VYAPAM, where the defence minister or the person responsible for it will make crores by selling the seats :-)

it seems you are only aware of the vyapam scam and are either unaware or choose to ignore other scams. selective amnesia?
Pseudo secular congress which ruled for six decades developed this under the able guidance of Nehru and was propagated by his dynastic heirs. Now that we have a truly nationalist party at the centre I think this will change. Caste bank politics too has been indirectly responsible for this. To inculcate true national spirit and self discipline, serving military for 5 years should be made compulsory for everyone above 18 years.

First of all, stop your k1ds from running to USA, Europe and Australia, after completing their engineering :-) Truly nationalist party at the center??? My f00t. Those pseudo-nationalist d0nkkeys will get ready to sell the country if they get some money. Corruption is rooted to the core, irrespective of the party or the government. Everyone wants his/her own k1ds to lead a luxurious life somewhere on foreign land, while delivering lectures to others. Pseudo-nationalists have created a h0rr1fic divide between communities, to grab the power. They don't even care if people belonging to lower castes or non-H11ndu communities are even dying of hunger. They just care about appeasing the elite H1ndus and clinging on to power.

your reply shows that you do not think before you write. you are totally blinded by your hatred bcoz of which you are not wanting to see the difference, whatsoever little there is.
we fight when the invaders reach Panipat and are preparing to knock on the gates of Delhi!*
Till then, of course, we will be busy colluding with the enemy to make crores of rupees in personal wealth by smuggling in drugs and other counterfeit goods across the border to sell to unsuspecting commoners here in India ! (That only a fraction among the Majors, Captains, Colonels, Brigadiers and Generals in the army as well as the BSF do this is beside the point; it is what they do that weaken our resolve and purpose)
*Ours is the defenceless land that was trampled upon and ravaged through the ages by barbarian invaders from the West who poured through the Khyber Pass.
By Alexander the Great of Greece. By Mahmud of Ghazni -- 17 times. By Muhammad Ghori. By Changez Khan. By Timur, the Lame. By the Mughals. By Nadir Shah. By the East India Company that ruled India by pitting Indians against Indians*
And of course, by barbarians long before Alexander the Great - such as nomadic tribesmen hailing from arid and semi-arid regions in Central Asia and West Asia, who poured in through the Khyber Pass in search of water, pastures and fertile land (the Gangetic plain) and who kept attacking natives resident in their paths in innumerable little invasions and displacing them from many regions in the northern parts of the Indian sub-continent (among whom were the communities of the Indus Valley civilization). These nomads, who came in over several thousand years, gradually gave rise to

what is known today as the Vedic civilization - a civilization that was entirely pastoral in setting and had nothing at all to do with the well laid out and highly evolved Indus Valley civilization. It is these barbarians who came in much before other barbarians did who have contributed the most to the highly varied raxcial / genetic mix in India - especially in North India.
And despite overwhelming archeological, linguistic, literary and genetic evidences to the contrary, purveyors of the devious propaganda that the first ever intruders (who became settlers in India) into the Indian sub-continent were the Mohammedans in the 10th century CE have consistently persisted with this propaganda in a style that draws inspiration from the life and work of Goebbels himself !

rediff is selectively intolerant or tolerant. it shows tolerance towards anything and anyone that goes against Hindus but is intolerant otherwise.
We are very poor in infrastructure, free quality education for our children and inadequate medical care. We should address these issues first. Being nuclear power is sufficient for us to deter the notorious neighbours. We should use nuclear first strikes to deter hostile neighbours. This can eliminate defence spending and we can concentrate on growth and development.

Corruption has what this country made weak in the eyes of enemies. When with corrupt babus one can get any type of licenses to kill then what this country can expect from its own inner enemies.
