India Gambling

India had been ranked 93 by US Foreign Policy magazine and the US-based Fund for Peace think-tank in the list of failed state. Though India has climbed up from its previous rank of 75 but recent development in Indian political scenario and security situation can bring it among list of failed state.
The recent terrorist attack show vulnerability of Indian security and the ongoing domestic problems like reservation for OBC, internal security threats from naxalites.
Despite resistance from Indian top-notch Industrialist and businessmen, Indian government is still hanging around on reservations. This shows the existence of archaic caste-politics in Indian politics. Though these reservation are fruitful only for small section of the society and since independent Indian government has failed to uplift the life standard of many SC/ST and OBCs as the reservation policy is not much sound.
On speaking to a cobbler working on roadside, one can fathom efficiency of reservations in educational institutes. Government first priority should be to fill stomach of poor who are mostly from the lower caste listed by government of India. When one cannot pray hungry stomach, how can you expect that person to go school and study? The effort has to be made at lower and primary level to encourage and upgrade life of SC/STs and OBCs. The suppressed class that government thinks does not belong to any caste but they are economically weak class.
The other big problem is India’s soft stand against terrorist activities. Last three decades have shown that India is not willing to take any military action against any attacks, be it BSF killing at India-Bangladesh border or terrorist attack that claims life of civilian. Today, India and Indians are gambling for economic benefit. India is rising economy and seen as an emerging new alliance of USA, so terrorist have found India a soft target. India is in confused state because if it takes any big step against terrorist camp in Pakistan ,it may have to go war which will bring unstability in its economy. But the government is not realizing that more number of terrorist attack will successfully create fear in the mind of Indian working on projects, detested by terrorist. This may push India on back foot as due to fear Indians will stop working on such projects and thus decreasing role of India in various crucial overseas projects.
Apart from foreign terrorist, Naxalites within the country are eating up India’s internal security like termite. They are running parallel government in the village and as I have heard they set up their own court and deliver quick verdict. India as usual had been procrastinating in solving these issues. If Naxalites today or tommorow join hand with Al Qaeda or Taliban, then in that case what will government do?There will be another Taliban regime in India if it sustains its soft stand.
These are the reason which does not differ at large from the
reason cited by survey body in case of Pakistan and China and India should review its stand and make clear to other nations with whom it faces problem and where it confronts prblem related to its security.
