There is unity in diversity!!!! There are 28 states and people of all religion, language , castes live across India. Its not possible to divide India. Its not that if you separate one state, you have one homogeneous society. People have tried and failed-whether it is Punjab, Kashmir, North East, Maharashtra. Its not the worst country in the world. India's economy is doing fine.
Well it's just a suggestion, managing a country of say 200 million might be more manageable...then again it might not be good for India. India should learn from the good things that China is doing, while avoiding the bad. It's got it's own problems, of course, and in a country of it's size they're huge problems. It's still probably the most fascinating single country on earth to me: it's culture is still mysterious for outsiders, and it has retained more of it's culture than China.
1. Those links you provided were awful. They were poorly written, hard to follow, and didn't provide any source information to back up its claims.
2. I'd like to see some links with solid evidence of corruption by Modi. I haven't been able to find any. As of right now, the only thing the Indian Left has against Modi are slanderous rumors. It's fairly hypocritical considering all of the scandals that members of the Congress Party have been caught in the past five years. The poor might eat up that garbage because they don't know any better, but the middle class isn't falling for it.
3. It's amazing how much the Indian Left hates Modi. Something tells me that they not only fear loss of power but also the loss of the privilege from being above the law.

In the big scheme of things, what does his relationship with his wife have anything to do with governance?
You're second link almost has some merit, but it has gaping holes. It never explores possible underlying reasons for the difference in rates or provides any sort of substantive evidence that it was done solely to fatten a particular company's coffers. It can't even be considered a legitimate piece journalism. There are a couple of reasons that I could think of off the top of my head why the GUVNL would of opted for a contract with another company, diversification or the inability of the other company to provide the specified amount of power. Tata's legal team would of also been all over the Gujarati Gov't if they suspected malfeasance.
This isn't to say that there isn't a possibility of malfeasance in this case, but that link provided zero proof. Don't let your partisan leanings give you myopia.

On what basis can you say that Gujarat has done lot of development under Modi Rule? It is compared on different parameters with other states. Considering that Gujarat was highly developed state under Congress Rule, its performance under Modi has been average to say the least. Is he claiming Sardar Sarovar Dam or Amul Dairy? Last 12 years there has been freeze on recruitment in Government jobs in Gujarat. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!to...05/fYv4Pmtkz5M
It's a good thing that you brought up Manmahon Singh. I believe he's an intelligent and honest fellow, but he's weak willed and lacks the personality and temperament for being PM. The only reason he became PM is because Sonia Gandhi couldn't, and they pushed him out there to be the face of the party due to his popularity as finance minister. His soft spoken and mild mannered nature coupled with his unquestioned loyalty to the status quo in his party has been disastrous for bringing about political reform and pushing through more economic reform. He's a thinker, not a leader or even a manager; and as PM he's a been hapless, powerless bystander to the powers and forces that be in his party.
On the surface, eight percent growth doesn't look bad; but there's no reason India shouldn't be shooting for ten percent and greater. Substantial political reform and further economic reform are a prerequisite for this. The complacency that the Congress Party and their supporters has for the current state of affairs in India is sickening; it's time to set the bar higher!!!
With Singh announcing his departure from his position, it looks like the boy prince is going to have to win his spurs. The scion of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty being politically clubbed to death at the voting booth will be a fitting way to signal the end of his family's choke-hold on India. Change is coming, either hop on board or get the hell outta the way!!!
Modi is nothing but a disaster for India. Modi supporters adore him because he supervised killing of minorities. Criminal elements of the society love him for that. Businessman community (Baniya-Marwari/Gujarati) like him because BJP give them opportunity to steal tax, plunder PSU and natural resources, and default on bank loans and cause financial damage to the country. Whole India will suffer so that Modi can make some businessman rich by looting India and few criminals happy by killing minorities. Hop on board for destruction of India???

You must either be smoking some good meth in west texas, an evangelical bible thumper, a pseudo-sec, or a communist.
Seeing the progress BJP makes in power and comparing with Congress is like night and day. Congress has been in power since independence and has basically raped India like the islamic invaders and the european imperialists.
there's actually infrastructure in parts of india where the BJP are in power. You can actually do business without being hassled or pay less bribes than Congress controlled area. Modi made Gujarat livable. He created an Entrepreneurial environment which is more important than just handing out money to madrassas that create terrorists that bomb their own country.
I remember when Stocks went down when BJP lost the last national election. Even other countries that invest in India were like "oh crap" because they know that congress blows at governing and they don't like to do business. They do nothing about red chinese agression at the borders, the bangladeshis slip through like illegals across the rio grande, and paks just send suicide bomber after suicide bomber.
If anyone is looting India, its the Gandhi family since independence. nehru was a terrible prime minister. He had WW2 blooded army and he let kashmir be decided by the UN when India could have taken it all. There wouldn't be a freaking jihad right now if Sardar Patel was incharge! Nehru lost tibet! he wouldn't use a superior airforce at the time to defeat china's People liberation army. Tibet holds all of india's water!
And what minorities does india have? Does it have blacks and hispanics? maybe a couple thousand from africa. I only know of tibeteans and nepalese, and the chinese in kolkata as minorities in India. Heck, Congress let nepal go to Red China!
Religious groups are counted as minorities? Does you realize how backwards that it is? This is the 21st century. In normal countries that took the ideas of the enlightenment, they have separation of church and state so people actually do some freaking business and make money. Communism failed!
You live in west Texas! Not liberal houston. Imagine, if all the sudden Muslims their demanded affirmative action because follow the arab ideology. I'm pretty sure Rick Perry wouldn't allow that and a crapload of corn huskers would get their guns and start piling in their trucks looking make sure that would never happen...permanently. Plus, the feds wouldn't allow it either. Look at waco. They burned them in the compound.
Congress has done nothing about securing the borders, bringing sanitation which is desperately needed, and bring direction to the country. The last 10 years with congress was a wasted decade. Singh was a weak leader. He let India 9/11 happen and because of him more will happen. He's a puppet for Sonia's mafia. India was ahead of red china at independence, now its playing catch up thanks to your congress party.
And what if modi was responsible for killing jihadis? America kills a jihadi with a drone everyday, the israelis do it, the russia are going to go rape everyone in dagestan for the olympics, and red china doesn't take crap from uighers. Are you going to critise them? No. Because it keeps you from getting blown up! They only know the sword!
Sri lanka raped the Tamils and put them in concentration camps? Where the hell were you to stop their oppression? Oh wait, the tamils assassinated your lord, ragiv gandhi. I bet you're mafiosio don, sonia gandhi was the one that put the hit out on him!
In bengal, it took them 50 years to finally realize that communist party basically raped the state. Everyone saw that while the rest of India was progress, West bengal was like the soviet union in stagnation.
Can't really blame BJP for looting india. At most, they were in power for 10 years. Its all congress, all the time. That's why all the gang rapes are happening. Singh doesn't even want to deal with it. Probably, blame that on BJP. Last time, I checked Delhi is controlled by congress.
Congress party, keeping india down and raping the nation (and gang raping her women) since independence!
