Can India change for better?

India has already shed "underdeveloped country" tag. It is trying to shed "developing country" tag also. It aspires to be a super power. It has an average annual economic growth of over 8% for the past four years. It has the largest technical manpower. It is also having largest percentage of young productive population. It has the potential to become one of the super powers, but it has to address the following issues quickly.

• Development are not uniform. South is growing at a faster rate than the other regions. The cities have exponential growth compared to stagnant growth in rural areas. The growth has to spread evenly.
• The governments both at the center and the states are mostly coalition ones. Smaller parties in the states and regional parties at the center dictate the policies of the governments. The dictates are mostly based on personal egos and vote bank politics. Need to evolve a system of accountability and stability in our political classes. Lesser parties, the better it would be.
• Parliaments and state assemblies are disrupted by opposition parties. They think it is democratic to disrupt the proceedings in parliament/assembly houses. This is followed by all political parties irrespective of which party is in power. Major decisions are taken either without discussion or postponed perennially. Political class need to introspect and correct themselves.
• 
• Infrastructure development is at a snail's pace. Again, political parties are to be blamed. Public and private participation has to increase. The adjoining picture shows the commuters in Chennai, which boasts of one of the best public transport system in India. Governments are giving thrust to this sector, but a lot need to be done.
• Corruption has not come down substantially, though the indulgent politicians, bureaucrats and government employees are getting good pay packets and perks. RTI Act is considered a boon to the common man, but it has a lot of implementation issues, like other good intended Laws and Acts. RTI Act needs more teeth and a mechanism to dispose quickly on any complaints.
• Government policies and projects are not properly implemented, since there is no accountability. Cost and time overrun is common in most of the cases. The remedy lies in more private participation with accountability and running government organizations like corporate entities with powers to take action against the erring personnel. People should be empowered to recall ministers and other politicians from their elected positions, if they do not perform.
• Last but not the least. The citizens are becoming aggressive and taking law into their own hands. They involve in vandalism and violence without remorse. Their actions are based on emotions than considered facts. Governments do not handle these incidents with a firm hand due to political reasons or other personal considerations. These give an impression that the rule of law is a low priority in the scheme of governance. Further, court cases take a long time making justice ineffective. The Justice system and governing dispensations need develop a mechanism to act effectively and quickly.

I am yearning to see a vibrant and homogenous developed India. Though it is not possible in my life time, yet I would like to see the indications of India blooming into a developed nation.
