Why blame the US or the "babus"? What about the trash monkey Indians who've elected and tolorated such a set up? With proper leadership, the "babus" would be give a choice to immediately shape up or be put up against the wall!

True, but then again our electorate is interested in whatever pieces of bread the babus throw at them. A bottle of rum or a sari is normally the case in rural areas. plus stir up the old caste issue and voila, you have been elected. Unlike many countries, our elections are not based on policies of the parties, rather appeasement of the castes - even if the policies are suicidal.
