India is in a mess. Yes. No amount of rhetoric can alter the reality. Education, health, economy all are in the bad shape and most disappointing reality is that neither the rulers nor the people are in mood of accepting the reality. And all political parties are devoid of ideas. India is in the age of "mental bankruptcy" . And culture of the present day which emphasises the glory of the past has prevented Indians from moving forward. Religions have one serious fault. All religions claim to be repositories of all knowledge. Accepting more and more religiosity means negation of potential of efforts and future. Religion emphasises all knowledge is in past and future has no knowledge. All religions make the people believe their efforts have no value as their destiny is predetermined. This is the state of affairs in today's India. India has refused to be modern-modern in economic, educational, political senses.
