Two dysfunctional systems still keeping India in the doldrums and preventing its rise

There are two dysfunctional systems still keeping India in the doldrums and preventing its rise. The first is the caste system which is still deeply embedded in Indian society. The second is the Hindu fanaticism, that is even more difficult to erase.

What is the use of a democracy, when everything cannot be improved to make lives better for the people. All that democracy did was to benefit the ruling elites and its cronies at the top of the food chain. In the process, it even killed off the middle class everywhere.

When China opted for progress, it got rid of dynasties. When China faced unsustainable pollution, it erased its negative image totally within 5 years, moving out factories from city centers, implementing electrification of its transport system and manufacturing entities. Those are just the tip of the iceberg. We have not even talked about lifting of more than half of its population out of poverty, its decision to dominate in many sectors of global manufacturing.

Any five-year plan in India's timeline can at best only result in filling up the paperwork to apply for such plans to be implemented, not even approved yet to be carried out.
