Re: Is India a failed State? or India is a failed State?
Jammu and Kashmir, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Nagaland, Manipur, Assam, and significant parts of Uttar Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh are anarchic. Even in the states where we consider there is some order, what is the record of the police? Recorded crime in Delhi was up by 55 per cent last year. In Mumbai and Delhi, the police have had to resort to extralegal methods, euphemistically called "encounters", to curb criminals.
Additionally, Maoist rebels are controlling a significant section of India from west to east, which the Indian government has admitted now it is worst security threat since 1947.
