  1. Yeah, I do recall, that when Konkan railway had been built, I don't remember the name of that head honcho, didn't want it to have any government involvement. Result? Multiple engineering marvels, that experts said would take years to finish took significantly shorter, particularly one of the largest bridges on the rote took just over half the projected time to build. Meanwhile, where are the major governmental projects? I'd say, that you Indians have three problems. Gandhi wanted to tackle the first, but sadly, had been assassinated before he could properly begin. Second is really civilizational blight irrespective of the nation, so that is not really your fault and the third one one has to adapt to. I'm talking about the cast system, bureaucracy and geography. It seems to me, that particularly the cast system is a huge problem, given it affects access to education and that economic development... you guys need someone to step into Gandhi's shoes and walk the path he started to the finish.
