India...

is not ready for young politicians...is my feeling...

Reason? look at the circus - inflation, scams, 4G, opening up of the FDI, 860 million mobile phone users (which includes the rural teledensity), 80% of the population being poor, illiteracy, growing ITESs, airlines serving 3% of the population and their irregularities making headlines, F1, and  Rs 32/- being considered being enough for a person to live, corporates and maoists, and on and on and on...

Plus - a 5000-year-old civilization, plus Moghul rule, plus British rule...

It is only our seasoned-and-wily-with-age-and-patient-as-Job politicians who can handle and juggle all of this...really and truly.....

India also needs all these various parties...

Reason? they act as checks and balances for every decision the Government takes or does not take, and for every word that everyone else utter or does not utter, and for every action that is taken either in good faith or bad...

The young have neither the time nor the taste for this...but this is what we have and this is what we are all about and somehow we all have to muddle along...
