Dear Udayakumar:

I enjoyed your well-written and interesting political satire. I once read a book on the political economy of development in India (by Bardhan), and thought that I had read a book about Pakistan where the author had inadvertently replaced the word Pakistan with India (a slight exaggeration). I wonder if I could say the same about this piece (without too much exaggeration).

Excellent!

Compared to the Animal House of Indian and Pakistani politics, the American political arena resembles a scene out of a coma ward!!

Well done!

I think most of India knows what you have put on paper with such a clarity.

Question is what can be done about this??

JAG DEEP #5

Solution!Solutions______MARTIAL LAW,like our neighbour had from 58 to 68??

OR-redemarcation of constituency to reflect PROPORTIONATE representation of minorities,disintegrate aggregation of monlithic caste driven vote blocks who keep returning the same caste idiots in our face.

Many more like power brokerage,arrangements &alliances spl. after there election should be unconstitutional(Its not even our constitution,any way___Its the Brits!)

Double the prison population with Jailing power abusers,it will cost less with them inside in the long run!There are even more than usa prevalence of Crimes(may be not violent ones)we should have propotionately same amount of criminals safely away from us like herei.e 4 times the population in USA.

I hope this gets recommendations forthcoming,sort of ``Brain storming``
