Equally off-topic and unscientifically, India's problems must be solved
firmly by the following URGENT measures.
1) Enforcement of Family Planning to reduce population by 5% year
on year on national level, 10% year on year in "Bimaru" states.
2) Compulsory military service for both sexes between age 18 to 21.
3) Right to bear arms should be a Fundamental Right to anyone who has
served in military for 3 years or more.
4) Government should not be allowed to "print" money to pay for social
service spending.
5) Once competent court awards death penalty, it must be executed
within 1 year or offender be set free.
