Answer 1

You are kind of like India,why don't you go save the world you have:

- you have 2 strong hands

- a positive outlook in life

- a quick mind

- and you can fly(or can you?)

Answer 2

Over-population and interal corruption with bad political leaders are to blame. Soon, the young generation will take over and I'm sure Indian's will live a better standard of living with clean cities and good health care. The situation is not pathetic though, but it still does need a lot of development. India is one of the world's fastest growning economies. They claim to make India a developed country by the next 20 years. Let's all hope for the best. India is one of the world's largest software makers, and posses newest technologies and not to forget, a lot of nukes too. :)

Answer 3

The main thing is the Population and Education system. Most of the Northern States in India are still under develop in political administration and education.

The major thing is the political system in our India. The system which we adopted from British, still we are using the same. We have to make innovation in political system to adopt according to the latest need. I hope the conditions which we are discussion are still in word of mouth. We may have to think the Head of each state should be IAS officer not CM or Governer.
