There is no doubt that China is a special country and they have tremendous advantages as a nation with predominantly one race, one language and one religion. Yet when it comes to translating developmental goals into action in terms of reforms in the society the straight jacket systems can develop chinks.

Yet the short-sighted and ambitious romantic in Nehru drag India into a non-aligned ‘eunuch’ism.

Some brief outlines on the most important aspects of life would provide the directions to proceed and develop further.
