Indian Politics - Diversity and Power struggle

India is only country where political structure is quite complex due to diversity in terms of culture, tradition and lifestyles of the people. Country where dialect changes every 15 kilometers and there is different language spoken, written in every state. Every state has entirely different lifestyles, weather, festivals, food, necessities and this creates a unique opportunities in every area/state... for the political diversity. Leadership is needed from each area that represents that region. Certainly this adds a value but this does not come without a trade off. This lacks the consistency and certainly creates the weird and odd equation of power struggle during this coalition government that seem to be becoming the norm in Indian Politics.

In the long term we all have to understand this and behave in the consistent fashion if we need to make progress. At this time it seems that we really do not have cohesive effort towards progress but most of the folks who are in power are playing dirty politics and trying to make progress in their bank balance rather than for their country or the people. Now, I'm not saying that all are corrupt otherwise we have not come to this stage in 60 years..For example some politicians who can not stop building their own statues worth millions of Rupees and at the same time representing the people who neither have clean water to drink nor enough food to feed their family. They dreams of being a prime minister of this Country that who can't even improve one state- Why does the people of my country do not understand this? When are they going to get the ray of light that will enlighten them? Lot of states have their own story and owns ways of fallouts - when are we going to see India as one country, our country? When?
