Comment:

I would like to sum up our performance in the 20th century in one sentence. Indians have succeeded in foreign countries , but failed in their own. 

Indians are succeeding brilliantly in  foreign countries , USA and Britain. but failing in India. Once Indians go to foreign countries, they soar and conquer summits once occupied only by whites.

At independence we were proud of our politicians. Today we regard them as scoundrels and criminals the reason for India's failure.. They have created a jungle of laws in the holy name of socialism, and used these to line their pockets and create patronage networks. No influential crook suffers. The Mafia flourish unhindered because they have political links.The sons of police officers believe they have a licence to rape and kill (ask the Mattoo family). making money and distributing favors to relatives was not considered a perversion of power, Indians succeed in foreign countries , and fail in their own. It is the saddest story of the century.
