I guess, there will be more developments in the future. India are amongs the most populations country in the world. More investment will come from oversea. Peoples from US, Europe, Middle east will come to invest.
India also have many proffesionals especially in ICT, engineering, doctor, law, accountings and many more.
India have a bright future.
I love their Taj Mahal too... its goregous...

Ofcourse the politics in our country is in a bad state and with such things our country cannot improve. Lets start a discussion on how to improve our political situation. What do you say?

Come to think of it, most of the political leaders — that is those who occupy the leadership slots in political parties and call the shots — are in their 70s. This age profile necessarily induces a certain kind of leadership performance, mostly the debilitating kind.
K. Karunakaran, for instance, at the ripe age of 87, is out to have his way in Kerala, even if it means destroying the very party he helped build up. Chandra Shekhar, once a Prime Minister, remains the perennial `third front' prime ministerial aspirant and is available to any group which wants to unsettle a settled dispensation in New Delhi. Bal Thackeray in his 70s continues to keep the Shiv Sena firmly pegged down to a raw assertiveness.
And though the Congress remains a party of relatively young political activists, it too continues to feel the need to propitiate Narain Dutt Tiwari and Arjun Singh despite the very obvious wear and tear of advanced age. Outside the political parties structure, Ashok Singhal, Acharya Giriraj Kishore and K.S. Sudarshan continue to make their presence felt, at least in the BJP.
The Indian system does not countenance any kind of generational purge. The 1984 change that brought in the young Rajiv Gandhi and his young team remains an exception to our determined fascination for the old.
We take comfort that we are an old civilisation and it is part of our great cultural asset that we know how to tap the wisdom of the old. We insist that the young must wait in line for their turn and while they are waiting they must be respectful and reverential towards the old.
We feel slightly disoriented when young leaders from outside — a Bill Clinton, a Tony Blair, a Pervez Musharraf, a Wen Jiabao, a Condoleezza Rice — visit us, showing up our own leaders to be old, slow-moving, stuck in an obsolete worldview, untutored in the realities of a new world order. But once the young visitor leaves us, we very quickly revert to rhetoric and machinations to keep the young out and down.
What are the parallels in the current Indian scenario with the Italian fascism of the early 1920s? It seems that the coalition Government is surely heading towards a phase wherein the BJP's political partners are made to look increasingly inconsequential. When the post-Godhra state-sponsored genocide unfolded in Gujarat, several of the BJP's allies openly asked for the sacking of the Modi Government. Among them were such influential political partners as the Telugu Desam Party and its leader, N. Chandrababu Naidu, the Trinamool Congress and its leader, Mamata Banerjee, the Samata Party, and to a lesser extent, even the DMK and its leader, M. Karunanidhi. The demand was denied on the basis that it was an internal matter of the BJP. Sangh Parivar groups such as the RSS and the VHP openly supported the Modi Government, and said the NDA allies had no business to interfere in the internal matters of the BJP. The NDA allies simply took the denial of the BJP lying down. At that juncture itself it was clear that the coalition that was supposed to counterbalance multiple contradictory forces was heading in one direction.
Finally, this is probably the last chance for the liberal-left forces to counter the further progress of the Hindutva ideology. It is probably not enough to make electoral alliances and stop with that strategy. The moment is here to really organise from the grassroots level to shape the commonsense of the popular masses and if necessary even to intervene in the cultural spaces that have been so conveniently monopolised by the Hindutva groups in the name of religion. A lack of concerted effort on the part of these forces will only make the fable of the beaver come true in the Indian context too.
so ultimately what i feel the condition is to remain worse as it is now even in the future but thanks to our growing economy atleast our youngsters will have a good time ahead.

Not only with current politics our indian politics always is better than other countries. The main thing is the media with us is showings without black out the events they are showing to media is the way we are criticising our politics. You can see in rural levels the politicians how they are working and letting the people to aware of politics through education is really impressed. Those who were uneducated in rurals are given the first preferences towards their food shelter and study materials to them and free education at all levels upto higher secondary school levels. Also politicians main duties towards the access to the people to know the governmental system and its patterns towards helping poor and subsidies. Real politics makes our india the great by its democracy. In near future you can see the world bank funds will be proper without any failures in our projicts also. In no other developing country has an target of us with our political system as of now and in future.
