Laughable. This is all assuming that the society is in a fine state; as if the people behave properly and that the democracy actually works.
Ya. What we require is Papa Doc and Baby Doc Duvalier with Mushy as Army Chief and PolPot as education minister to get us into a tony state, all regimented and lined up waving dainty flags at sundry idiots passing by. Oh what wondeful days they were. Look at us now. every citizen who cant spell vote line up the streets and protests.
This is all nice and dandy in Europe or USA. Indians still need to grow up mentally for this to be applicable.
That is why we need PolPot who had great ideas on making people growup real fast. Pity everbody thought he was a raving lunatic. And considering the polticos in the EU and US PolPot might be the perfect prescription for the growth challenged even in these hallowed regions.
