Good analysis, although population explosion did merit mention.

The new IAC management had taken over on 18.Oct.2012.
It has taken us about 4 months to set our house in order, understand the issues and aggregate sets of people who seem interested in India's renewal.
By now, it is pretty clear that almost everyone agrees on the basic issues of what ails India and that "corruption" is only a symptom of much deeper problems which have to be understood and fought.
To recap:
1) Absence of Democracy (people's direct participation).
2) Lack of proper governance to favour corporates, cronies and scamsters.
3) Criminalisation of society, coupled with breakdown of law and order.
4) Tensions on our borders, with weakened Armed Forces
5) Dynastic family rule and all pervasive Gandhi-ism
6) Complete breakdown of societal values, education & health delivery systems
7) Rampant corruption in the judiciary
8) Inadequate and crumbling infrastructure
9) Systematic grabbing of land and other natural resources
10) Deeply corrupt media.
On the positive side
1) India has a great Parallel ("black") economy which holds the nation together and insulates us from the economic woes of the rest of the world..
2) India has some of the best laws on the world.
3) India has a common language (English) which is understood almost everywhere in the globe.
4) India has great people who have resisted efforts to divide them
5) India has a functioning bureaucracy.
6) India has a young population and lack of social security systems..
7) Indians have a "can do" entrepreneurial spirit recognised the world over.
8) India has Bharat to back it up.
9) India has a plurality of faiths, cultures and value systems.
10) India still has reasonably fair electoral processes.
All these elements are part of IAC's strategy to contribute to renewing India, and which will be shared over the next few weeks.
