The answers? You mean like a magic wand that will make them all go away?
They don't exist.
However, we have the third largest economy; an excellent growth rate, poverty faction slowly decreasing by the day, education getting better and better (our undergrad is already better than the West, now we're improving our grad); the largest section of young population in the world.
Ask me again in 20 years.

S.A.M:
Which ignores the inequity regarding the distribution of said wealth. And an atrocious record of human rights abuses. Given that you always whine about U.S and Australian human rights abuses, and never praise their booming economies, I'm going to assume that the humanitarian aspects of a nation are your higher priority.However, we have the third largest economy
Mistreatment of indigenous tribesmen, systematic brutality by Indian police and armed forces, overt discrimination against lower castes of Hindus, a long-standing history of acts of aggression against neighbouring countries, a stockpile of nuclear weapons, etc etc. I could go on and on. The fact that things may be 'getting better' (slowly) doesn't change the fact that India is in more shit than any Western country.poverty faction slowly by the day, education getting better and better
What's your excuse, S.A.M? Western interference? Excessive taxation?
Hey, I mean, it's not like Western countries whose police and soldiers don't currently engage in systematic rape and torture have ever suffered from interference and/or occupation by foreign powers, and excessive taxation, right?

S.A.M:
Poland had the exact same problem after gaining independence! Hell, Poland ceased to exist for 100 years when it was partitioned between Austria, Prussia and Russia. Polish citizens were delegated to the role of 'unskilled, uneducated labourers', and trust me, this didn't change under Nazi or Soviet occupation.Mostly terrible poverty and illiteracy on independence.
Poland has been raped by the partitions, then by Nazi rule, then by Soviet rule. Remember that the Soviets are renowned for leaving their formerly occupied territories with a ruined economy. The wonders of Communism.
But despite all this, I have yet to hear of Poland's police and soldiers engaging in systematic torture and rape in this day and age. I have yet to hear of them making a habit out of throwing faeces at their minorities, either.
Again, what's your excuse, S.A.M? Why is it that Poland, which ceased to exist at one period in history, and then suffered under two barbaric regimes in recent history, has a cleaner record regarding human rights than India?

So you're blaming it all on someone else, huh, Sam? Now think about it, isn't that just like all Muslims of the world?
And you'll never get there on your own!! The population growth alone will overwhelm India in only a shor time ..if it's not fully overwhelmed now.
