All Boys and girls must go through military training for 1 year to instill the discipline we very much require in this country.. Law Enforcement(read Police) should be freed from Politician's control and in turn those should be controlled from Judiciary.. Politicians to get elected must have age restrictions as well as minimum standard of education... And last, some how if we can make it, in India clocks should run faster(we should have 55 seconds in a minute), otherwise we shall be late always..:-) I agree on the point that we have very large but weak population..we need the law enforcing 2 child norm like China has..

What's being said is - That today we are at a point where our population and its growth has become unmanageable. Unfortunately we do not have adequate administrative infrastructure and apparatus/system to manage the population efficiently. If you look around you in the country you will see almost everything can be made better; you will not find a system which works as it should or was planned to [work]. I come around to the Education System. The quality of education is not up to the mark, teacher student ratio is skewed, teacher quality is bad, which in turn produces people which are not world class trained, which then go back into say a government education department and with their incompetency plan building worse schools and worse education systems. This is a cycle of degeneration. If you consider the ratio – people who are getting better education versus the people who are being left out – it is only a small number. On top of that, the people who are being left out, due to their non-understanding of economic principles produce more children, putting more people in the in the denominator of the ratio. In the middle class having three children is almost a history; people can’t think of having more than one child. We eventually have *limited* number of sub-optimal/degenerated schools, with the number of children, growing every year going to these schools and getting trapped into this cycle again. The government will never be able to do enough as people also do not say “one is enough”! Besides this, the strain on the natural resources!

Strict laws should be made, to do away with the problems of corruption, etc. To add to this point, I also think that the judicial system should be made strong enough so that people start belieiving in it. Today,sometimes when the case of a criminal comes for hearing in court, he is not alive himself. I dont agree with your second point that population is not the strength of our country. I think , the population of this country with different caste,creed and religion is enriching our culture. I hope you agree with me. I agree with your point that lawmakers are inadept.
