well i guess u heard it from the wrong people (unless ur not making it up) regarding India being the most civilized most blah blah… but yes it is civilized, it is prospering and yes if things go as it is now.. it could become a super power in another couple of decades.. .
regarding dalits and others.. these things do happen.. especially in rural areas.. and the government has setup effective steps to counter these issues.. we are still a developing country.. overtime these issues will be overcome especially with support of the press and other ngos..
now what about pakistans treatment of its hindus, christians and maybe even different sect of islam like ahmadiya, shia etc.. cmon.. these things happen in every developing country cos people dont have much work other than creating trouble..
