Searching, I can find no such reference to India being the "third most corrupt" in "The Economist."

As we've been over before: India is not as corrupt as you keep saying. It is ranked 95th out of 178 countries. Not even remotely close to third. And as seen by recent events, that is improving.

Infrastructure is overrated. Heck, India has a higher rating than Russia, and other developed countries are within a half-point of them too.

Since when is a Parliament being able to actually agree on something unusual? It's not. Not in the least.

"Billion" illiterate? At 25% illiteracy, that'd mean a population of four billion. Which is just not at all right. Same applies to what you're saying about "poverty." And the literacy rate has increased by 62% since 1947, including 9% in the last decade. That rate increase is astounding, and far in excess of increase seen in history.

The population of India is around 1.2 billion. Not four like you have put down in error. That means around 435 million unable to read, and about 121 million in poverty.

You should also clarify the military statement to say "active" military.

And The Queen has no role in India. Hasn't for decades.

As for the future of India?

They'll do just fine.
