STOP. Cut all the thinking.
Listen.
Why take the British into all this?
What has happened to us Indians ourselves? We're so deprived by the 'Caste System' that so called higher cast people do not treat the lower cast people with respect. Why pick the dust on another man's eye when you yourself are blinded in dust!!! You don't have to blame any religion for this. All religions speak right as Kaustubh said. It's us who have to change.
Now, to discuss about Monarchy versus Democracy.
Yes, if you remember once upon a time, India was not 'India' but many 'Nations' in one! It was ruled by different monarchs who did whatever they thought right to add to our history (making of Taj Mahal, Qutub Minar, etc)
And what changed?
N-O-T-H-I-N-G
Then British came over, brought all these 'Monarchies' under one umbrella; built their roads, brought out railways, airports, etc.
Again, what changed?
N-O-T-H-I-N-G
The selfish men as we were, still continued living as selfish men.
The ONLY difference now: We all equally own INDIA as citizens. There's no Monarchy to restrict us, but the Constitution of India and the Law. So 'Too many cooks spoil the broth!'.
And too many cooks often create more 'recipes'; to spoil the 'broth' as well! - both are different!
Everyone wants his share for himself. If there's a loaf of bread, the finest pieces are fought for! The same goes with India.
India is an old vegetarian which has conceived blood hungry carnivores!
Is globalization to be blamed?
NO.
Why?
We used to do trading with other countries for thousands of years even before the word 'globalization' came into existence/our knowledge.
So what has to be done?
Yeah right! Think about it now!
Can we unite atleast for a decade as one 'INDIA'??? I mean really, can all parties/politicians/cats/dogs/rich/poor/literate/illetrate/anyone all combine together and strive together to make
'our home' a better place?
If yes, then it's WOW!
Reason for saying all this:
I've lived my entire childhood through schooling in a country which practices Monarchy - <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuwait" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Kuwait</a>. The development is huge because decisions are taken by just few people and the 'channeling' of that country's resources has been done with such care and careful planning. Before the discovery of oil in early 1930s, the entire area was just vast areas of desert and uninhabitable land. The then Kuwaitis were pearl merchants. Kuwait gained independence from United Kingdom in the year 1961 after which it started internal developments. Almost entire Kuwait was ruined after the Iraqi Invasion in 1990. I was born during the invasion in Kuwait. I'm happy that Kuwaiti government (it's a Sheikdom with a parliament) has been working hard to restore Kuwait to even greater heights after that.
The same goes to the history of the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) which were a group of individual Nations (Emirates) which later joined together and are reigning together.
When you look at the whole picture, you can see that if you combine the resources and potential you can 'actually' muster from India, these two countries stand no were near. But unfortunately we Indians 'have not' channeled our resources effectively yet.
It's one thing to blame someone, but try looking at the picture from 10,000miles up in the sky -
it's just a small issue which can be sorted out!
P.S.: Recommend all politicians/non-politicians reading this to 'actually' go through the history of those nations which had nothing in the beginning and how they overcome and channeled their resources to actually 'prosper'.
P.S.S.: Another great example: South Africa, the land of Madiba!
