[QUOTE="max314, post: 137901, member: 2817"] The Guru lived in a time of war when the law of the sword ruled supreme. Upon toppling Wazir Khan, the Guru established the first Sikh state. This was the way of the world. What do you propose as a modern means of delivering punishment? And what do you think will be the consequence of the intricate web of power that protects these evildoers in the first place? If you try enacting Old World solutions, I can guarantee you a lot more innocent people will die in the interim. This isn't the same as the situation under Aurangzeb, who was a fascist dictator. We live in a democracy. Even if it is held together by glue and sticky tape. Yes, I said this above. I also said that it was a different world back then. I see it happen every day. But it's all God's will in the end. I'm sure he has his reasons. Doubtful. Moderates and progressives seem to love him. His re-election is proof of his popularity. I could just as easily say you sound like an Akali or one of those Sikhs who has allied himself with fascists like the BJP. But I won't. Dynasties are a part of Indian politics. One of the consequence of a family-oriented society is that it inevitably results in mafioso power play. Sending buckets of gold to your local politician in the hope that, one day, they will be able to do something for you when the time comes is part of our flawed system because it is a part of our flawed society. But that isn't a slight against Manmohan Singh's efforts to make India a better place. Nor against Sonia Ghandi and her family for that matter. India's economy was beginning to grow, but Manmohan Singh's government ensured that India's internal market was kept strong and able to function independently of foreign trade. China failed to do this its government felt the impact of the economic crisis -- the only reason they're still standing is because of their reserves of American currency. Though there are suggestions that their continuing failure to ignite a stable internal market will be their downfall in the future. Manmohan Singh has put systems in place to ensure this can never happen to India. And as India's economy grows and as the youth move into positions of influence, the infrastructure to support the new education bill will gradually click into place. Such radical reforms rarely happen overnight. Unless you're China. And the fact that we're talking about those corrupt individuals means these people are being caught out one by one by the media, executive enforcement, and the judiciary. If Manmohan Singh had a mantra for his [I]modus operandi[/I], it would probably be: "Don't use cannon to kill mosquito." When you squeeze the beast's throat, it spits and spurts and struggles for air. But eventually, it passes out and dies. Manmohan Singh has set up the intricate dance of dominos and is watching quietly as they all fall into their rightful places. Manmohan Singh is the guy who sees ten moves ahead while the rest of us can barely figure out the next move. I'm not an economist, so I can't explain this phenomenon. ---- Anyway, it's been nice talking with you. You seem like a very mature and well-meaning person, so I know you will understand when I don't respond to future posts. I foresee a 21 page quote-a-thon if one of us doesn't bow out now, so I'll take that as my cue. All the best. [/QUOTE]
