This is the third in a series of entries looking at what we can expect in 2013. Each weekday, a guest analyst will look at the key challenges facing a selected country – and what next year might hold in store.
By Madhav Nalapat, Special to CNN
Editor’s note: Madhav Nalapat holds the UNESCO Peace Chair at Manipal University in India. The views expressed are the author's own.
Although independent India’s first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, was a democrat, neither he nor apparently his colleagues in the Congress Party thought it necessary to do away with the colonial laws that had underpinned British rule. Across a wide range of functions that in normal democracies would be the prerogative of the citizen alone, the British-era laws retained by Nehru and his successors have ensured that the people of India have to routinely petition some government office or other in order to get official permission before embarking on any of a range of tasks.
In the past, businesspeople “paid and played.” Now, as some wags put it, they “pay and pray,” because decisions for which cash have been exchanged are seldom coming. The country has seen new projects slow to a crawl, even in sectors vital to growth such as energy and infrastructure. Should this paralysis in decision-taking continue into 2013, the continued deterioration of India’s economic performance could start to look a lot like the chaos of 1992.
Rather than chip away at colonial-style state prerogatives, successive governments in India have only added to the list of state functions and powers. As a result, “free” India’s legal system contains a dense overlay of regulations, many of which carry the punishment of incarceration if ignored. Most of those tossed into India’s fetid jails have been deprived of their freedom for deeds which would have merited at worst a reprimand in a more complete democracy. Whether it be a household, a factory or a service establishment, each has to run a daily gauntlet of dozens of laws to ensure that they stay within the country’s British-era laws.
There is, of course, an easy way of escaping accountability in India, and that is to pay a bribe. The colonial system being tailor-made for such illegitimate exactions, it is no wonder both politicians and officials in “democratic” India swear by it, and refuse to replace it with a system of laws that regards the citizen as being honest unless proved otherwise. Sadly, since Sonia Gandhi became the effective head of the government in 2004, a raft of laws and procedures have been introduced to compound this, meaning that even something as innocuous as a racy exchange on Facebook can land you in jail. Expect the debate over freedom of expression in India to be another feature of 2013. After all, the Information Technology Act passed without opposition in parliament, despite being draconian in its scope. It is being repeatedly misused to jail those who offend powerful interests.
While Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is, unusually in India, an honest politician, the government he technically heads is regarded by many as among the most venal of any since 1947. The silver lining is that the scale of graft has finally resulted in a fight back by the Indian public, and so we can expect to see growing demands next year among civil society for a governance structure under which the citizen has greater say over his or her own life.
Indeed, ever since the Commonwealth Games scandal exploded across television screens in 2010, civil society has been hyperactive in protesting government graft. The consequence has been that at least a small proportion of guilty individuals have actually been sent to prison, though not of course for long. The Indian media, itself often the creature of business interests that are less than ethical, has been forced by pressure from the blogosphere into giving prominence to stories about official graft and misfeasance, thereby pressing those at the top to take at least a few token steps towards punishing the guilty.
Yet although very few have been held properly to account so far, even these hesitant steps have been enough to scare several officials (and even a few of their political heads) from taking decisions of any magnitude. The consequence has been a paralysis in decision-making within the central government, a hiatus that has gone on for at least the past two years.
So where does all this leave us? One more year of this kind of paralysis at the central government level, and it will take a miracle to get India’s growth story back from the intensive care unit and to robust health. Sadly, under the current leadership, the prognosis for the next 12 months is not looking good.

What the India government needs to do is to sue the Maoist guerillas for peace and then make a part of the New Delhi government. That way, they can start to work together to eliminate the massive poverty currently plaguing that country. They also need to get rid of the corruption in New Delhi and not take any orders from the U.S., Great Britain or France!
"The silver lining is that the scale of graft has finally resulted in a fight back by the Indian public, and so we can expect to see growing demands next year among civil society for a governance structure under which the citizen has greater say over his or her own life"
"civil society has been hyperactive in protesting government graft."
All these signs indicate that the society out there is aware of its problems and is trying to fight back, that is a very good sign.
See its neighbor PAKISTAN where the society has been raising terrorism for ages and has come out crying when we sent drones there.
India has a progressing, very highly educated and talented society with moderate to very flexible religious beliefs. They have outshined so many in the developed world in terms of growth, technology and education and I think they will overcome these political challenges as like they have beaten so many in past.
INDIA: On a Goat and a Stick:
The problem with India is that it is built on a system of cultural and societal values based on Hinduism which is a cult. Nations built on a cult seldom survive in the long run. You can only take it so far based on symbolisms of a goat and a stick with a skinny little man aka gandhi banging boys at night and spinning wheels during daytime.
India has to deal with huge social, economic and environmental problems. With its many languages, cultures and religions, India is highly diverse and interesting. The idea of a federal political system is good, but the power-sharing between the central government and 28 states leaves much to be desired. Moreover communal, caste and regional tensions do haunt Indian politics and threaten at times the country's long-standing democratic and secular ethos.

CNN is useless
They are tolerating hate speech as SPAM
Despite all the odds Indian economy is bouncing back. The industrial production growth rate bounced back to a 16-month high of 8.2 per cent in October on good performance of the capital goods, manufacturing, indicating sudden recovery in the economy.
This is a very positive sign from India when all other big economies in the world are still reeling under recession and economic slow down. India still needs to act and correct its policies to support and raise more businesses.
In India 55.8% women and 24.7% men have anemia with highest prevalence in Assam and Jharkhand (69%) followed by Bihar (67.4%).
When one scrolls through this forum, you will see all frustrated PAKISTANIS making asinine, racy and false remarks about India.
Wish they would have spent same energy on their country and getting rid of terrorism there instead of supporting it. On the verge of extinction but still talk and complain about everything else on this earth.
Pakistanis are the most disgusting people on this earth.
The Multidimensional Poverty Index developed by Oxford University shows that India is far poorer than Africa not just in number but also in intensity.
The new poverty measure shows that 8 states out of the 29 states in India have more poor people than 26 poorest African countries combined.

“Hindus worship genitals (rub your eyes!) of their gods! Linga is a representation of Shiva's phallus.
Hindus worship cows is well known. Did you know that they also worship monkeys (hanuman), elephants (Ganesh), rats (mount of Ganesh), snakes etc.? For all the intellect that human beings were given, Hindus decided to make themselves subservient to crawling animals!
Am appalled at statements made about Hinduism and their beliefs and the "Gods' they worship. Worship to any "God" by any religion, including Islam is merely symbolic. If you look with an unbiased mind every religion is nothing but mans imagination, a somewhat fairy-tale. It serves no purpose to look down on somebody's faith....live and let live in harmony, don't self-aggrandisement and feel yo u are better than any.
There is a Pakistani troll posting anti-India spam and NONSENSE, under various fake names.
Most of Muslims,like you,would not be knowing anything about Islam,leave alone Hinduism. In English language, what you call Hindu's God, The Hindus use the word DEVTA, which is not really God. Hindism professes one single GOD, probably even more emphatically than Islam, if you care to read Hindu scriptures ( but may be not that loudly propagated). Worship of Devtas, in Hinduism, is considered for fulfilling worldly desires ( as it is in all other religions, praying to Angels etc). Just as most Hindus get struck with worshiping these Devtas rather that understanding true Hinduism, so do most Muslims, who get struck with Sharia rather than understand true Islam. So please, at least try to understand your own religion and not comment on other's,as you have scant knowledge of other religions.
At least they don't kill innocent people in the name of god and some stupid holy war... Jihad

INDIA: Between two Deities: KALI & PANCHALI
The problem with India is that is built on a system of cultural and societal values based on Hinduism which is a cult. Nations built on a cult seldom survive in the long run. Now just take a look at these two Hindu goddesses and the destruction and lack of morality they represent.
Goddess Kali's statue stands naked astride the inanimate body of the Hindu deity Shiva, tongue stuck out with blood dripping from fang-like teeth. She holds a noose, a skull-topped staff, a blood-encrusted sword and a severed head. Disgusting, to say the least. Would you want your kids growing up with such inspiration?
Meanwhile, goddess Panchali was married to five brothers. Which one would become the legitimate father of his child should she have one? Dr Charles (renowned author and an authority on India) says that instances of incest are common in Hindu scriptures. Decadent ! Immoral !
Talk about being between a b-tch and a tramp!!
You are a Pakistani, posting your usual lies and nonsense.

Seems like India is falling apart at the seams. First, hundreds of sick left burning in a hospital fire, then hundreds dead drinking some hindu moonshine concoction, followed by massive power blackouts, nuclear accident and now this. Poverty is rampant, societal values have collapsed; inflation is in the clouds while the rupee is in the toilet. This economic and political model has failed. The moment US pulls out of Afghanistan, it iwll be all over for India. No more handouts by American taxpayers.
I am getting bad vibes reading about Hindus and Indians and their culture. I have read up on them as well and don't like what I see. How can our government be supporting India, a culture so brutal and anti women, children and minorities. I have put in a call to our congressional delegation and emailed them as well opposing any further financial aid/support of any kind to India. We Americans cannot condone such archaic cultures. I urge all Americans to contact their congress people and voice their concerns regarding India.
its like the kettle calling the pot black, first look at your own countries backyard, you people want to ban abortion because it says its a sin in Bible? and you have the moral blindness to call India anti women? We are not the brutal monsters invading every country and bombing civilians, you oppose gay marriage when its a matter of personal choice and you talk about minorities in India? your politicians would rather cut spending on schools than on military and you say India doesnt care about its children get real woman .....and guess what we DONOT need your stupid money, we are not a third rate country to grovel for the peanuts thrown by a country who's economy is crashing like a meteor.......
You are a Pakistani troll, posting spam
Hinduism is a disgusting cult. Even to this day cross-cousin, father-daughter, mother-son, brother-sister, doing each other is common practice. Let me make it easy for you and refer you to the hindu scriptures and share it with the world. Shame on Hindus and barbaric Hinduism.
Pushan is the lover of his sister [ Rg Ved VI.55.4 ][ Apte 11 ]
The Ashvisns married Surya and Savitri who is their sister [ RV I.116.19 ].
Agni is the son of his father and his sister [ Rg Ved.I.91.7 ]

Empowering subjugated minorities in India by splitting it into smaller states would trigger uber economic demand for western nations who have given so much financial and technology aid to India with no return to show for the investment. We here in Haiti continue to monitor the political and cultural turmoil in India as a large percentage of our population are sugar cane slaves from India. As of now, we reiterate our view that Hindu State of India is in a precarious situation and that a geo-political implosion is imminent (if not already in process) and the need of the hour. As you will recall, India was initially broken into pieces by Arabs, Afghanis, Persians, Pakistanis, and lately by Chinese and so on. And rest assured that is not the end. India is mired in poverty and has a suppressive regime with respect to minorities. Substantial aid by the world over the years to India has failed to reverse the downward trends. We can now confirm that India has become unmanageable. If it is not imploded in a controlled manner we are afraid China will chew it up and spit it out.
LOL, crazy Paki's flooding this blog. Too much time on their hands, the Drone strikes need to increased.
I agree.

It seems dying Pakis are waiting for comments about India. To unnecessary malign India.
Pakistan divorced India over 65 years ago...no need to look back over a dying country
I don't know why India is suffering from these problems though they have educated nation even their doctors and lecturers are best known around the globe but but still these people are suffering from the health corruption and many other miseries i feel so bad for them that why they are not helping their own selves......................
Well known for medical fraud, assaulting patients and students
>>they have educated nation even their doctors and lecturers are best known around the globe <<
Can't believe people still broadcast this ps of PR BS;the average adult indians only have 4.4 yrs of education
and their PISA Test score is second from the bottom among over 70 particiant regions/countries.Pathetic in one word.
http://hdrstats.undp.org/en/countries/profiles/IND.html
India in 2013?...If there will be an India left!!!! I believe that India as we know is is finished. It is in process of being broken up like CAS states.
What shocked me was a recent news article about an ongoing genocide in India. It is indicative of a total disregard of human lives. I would have thought that this would have ended with Kosovo and Bosnia. Perhaps it is time for USA and NATO to start bombing New Delhi as it did in Kosovo and Bosnia to stop this ethnic cleansing and murders. After all the military assets are nearby in Afghanistan and Bahrain and this could be accomplished with minimal cost.
SHAME ON INDIANS..... For financing the terrorists waging this war. Shame on the Indians from running away scared from terrorists and taking bullets in their back. Shame on the Indians from counting the GDP statistics while American and Pakistani blood was being shed in the battlefield trying to make the world safe.
Is this the kind of neighbors you would want living next door to you and your kids??? HECK NOT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD !!!!!
The American invasion of Afghanistan brought to the forefront the irrelevance of India as a nation. With a population of over 1.2 billion people there was no value that this nation could bring to the table. Their soldiers (ragtag) 1.2 million continue hiding in the trenches scared from Talibans. A few teenage Talibans invaded the country and held it hostage for days on end showing how useless India is. It was embarrasing for the world to observe this humiliation of a nation that was being touted as a regional power. The Talibans brought them down in a few days with some BB guns. It is all over for India. Its demise is in process and should be completed with Afghanistan withdrawal.
The bottom line is that the only way to have peace in Afghanistan and lessen regional tension is split India into pieces. It has become too big to govern or create any value for western countries or even for its own population. We have invested a lot of resources in India over the past two decades and given a lot of aid to prop it up. There has been no return on this investment. Instead India has squandered all the resources in building nuclear weapons while poverty remains rampant in the country. We need to revisit our relationship with India. American taxpayers will not tolerate this anymore. We need to take care of our own populace going forward. We cannot be exporting jobs to India or giving it financial or technical handouts.
Ernie- Please solve the problems in your backyard before peddling your infantile solutions about breaking up India. Don't try to deal with things you have no understanding of.
Tragically, in India people are dying of hunger. Why are low caste poor Hindus prohibited from eating beef? People stop their cars, and sit for hours waiting for a cow to clear the roadway, thinking it to be sacred. In India cow meat is cheaper than other available meats. Instead of these Brahmins taking care of the low caste peoples of India, they are doing their best to save their "holy" cows instead. This is evil. According to Valmith's Ramayana, God Rama "ATE" meat. So then "why" have these Brahmins given up beef-eating? It's hypocrisy within their own religion.

You are a PAKISTANI troll. You need to stop your anti- India, anti-hindu hate speech and LIES
We continue to be of the opinion that India is a zero sum event in history and that a break up of sorts is the optimum way to maximize its potential for the people. The current events in India reinforce our belief that the inevitable implosion of India has begun and the beginning of the end state is upon us. Whether that will be nirvana that most of us believe it will, is yet to be seen. But this we will say. This defragmentation of India will unleash boundless opportunities and uber economic demand that will be beneficial to US and Europe and help pull them out of current recessionary malaise. We pray for the events to unfold peacefully and in a harmonious manner for the people of India and its neighbors.
We have invested a lot of resources in India over the past two decades and given a lot of aid to prop it up. There has been no investment on this return. Instead India has squandered all the resources in building nuclear weapons while poverty remains rampant in the country. Terrorism is rampant in the region in part financed by Indians. We need to revisit our relationship with India. American taxpayers will not tolerate this anymore. We need to take care of our own populace going forward. We cannot be exporting jobs to India or giving it financial or technical handouts. It has become too big to govern or create any value for western countries or even for its own population. India needs to be carved up into smaller independent states to be a viable economically and geo politically.
HINDUISM: A FARCE
“Hindus worship genitals (rub your eyes!) of their gods! Linga is a representation of Shiva's phallus.

Most Hindu gods were born out of wedlocks!http://www.raceandhistory.com/worldhotspots/riddlerama.htm clearly states how Hindu gods and goddesses were born. The details are too colorful to be reproduced on this forum.
Hindu gods fought devils and lost on many occasions! No wonder why Hindus are losers.
HINDU GODDESS PANCHALI
This goddess was married to five brothers. Which one would become the legitimate father of his child should she have one? Dr Charles (renowned author and an authority on India) says that instances of incest are common in Hindu scriptures.
I have read with interest the thesis presented on CNN that "less is more" in a political context as applied to India. Although Mies Van Der Rohe adopted this in an architectural context its economic and political connotations are indeed powerful. Empowering subjugated minorities in India by splitting it into smaller states would trigger uber economic demand for western nations who have given so much financial and technology aid to India with no return to show for the investment. I concur with this approach and with economic background find the premise to be on solid footing. Central Asian States (CAS) are a case in point on this successful approach. We need to understand that India has an unmanageable large population mired in poverty and we are spinning our wheels trying to feed it. It is also too big of a geographical unit to govern. Again, we saw how a few teenage talibans were able to invade it with a few BB guns.

New, More Dangerous Hindu Extremist Groups Emerge in India
Christians concerned as rightwing factions splinter to form militant outfits.
PUNE, India, October 29 (CDN) — After more than a decade of severe persecution, India’s Christian minority is growing increasingly concerned over the mushrooming of newer and deadlier Hindu extremist groups.
Gone are the days when Christians had to watch out only for the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (World Hindu Council) and its youth wing, Bajrang Dal, which are closely linked with the most influential Hindu extremist umbrella organization, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). With voter support faltering for the RSS’s political wing, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), moderate and extremist sections within the Hindu nationalist movement are blaming each other, and militant splinter groups have emerged.
Claiming to be breakaway factions of the RSS, new groups with even more extreme ideology are surfacing. The Abhinav Bharat (Pride of India), the Rashtriya Jagran Manch (National Revival Forum), the Sri Ram Sene (Army of god Rama), the Hindu Dharam Sena (Army for Hindu Religion) and the Sanatan Sanstha (Eternal Organization) have launched numerous violent attacks on Christian and Muslim minorities.

LIPSTICK ON A COW: Making India (Hindustan) look pretty
There is so much one can do to make an ugly country look good.
But whatever you do in case of India is analogous to spattering some cheap lipstick on a cow.
Now one may not want to kiss this cow but sure would love some steaks!!
LMAO
India (land of the bankers to terrorists) is geographically, culturally and politically trapped, isolated and encircled. Now that it has been cut off from rest of Asia, the Indians (unfortunately) have nowhere to go but into the ocean. A look at a map conveys the inevitability of this scenario. For India to survive, it has no choice but to have excellent relations with Pakistan. This is a matter of time. The question is whether Pakistan has a big heart to accommodate the very survival of India/Hindu race. Perhaps not this time around.
Pakistani troll speaks nonsense
"The silver lining is that the scale of graft has finally resulted in a fight back by the Indian public, and so we can expect to see growing demands next year among civil society for a governance structure under which the citizen has greater say over his or her own life"
"civil society has been hyperactive in protesting government graft."
So at least this society is aware of its problems and is trying to fight back, that is a very good sign.
See its neighbor PAKISTAN where the society has been raising terrorism for ages and has come out crying when we sent drones there.
"Experimental Democracy" has failed in India. An experiment that was being shoved down India's throat by western countries too eager to propagate their own values on a country that was trying to decolonize itself while trying to shed the communist skin of being a Soviet ally. India was thus trapped. What has become evident now is that this "Experimental Democracy" has marginalized the country. The marginalized groups of the country – Dalits and ‘backward’ castes/classes, indigenous ‘tribal’ people and religious minorities have been disenfranchised. "The belief that corruption is the important issue in the country is shared only by the minority living in urban areas and towns who have been beneficiaries of economic liberalization policies mandated by western countries. The most important challenges of Indian society remain as follows: justice, social and economic equality and equal access to certain standards of life for all Indians. “While India seems too eager to please its western masters and put on a progressive and softer face for CNN for public consumption, people see through it. The consequences of this "Band – Aid" approach will be brutal for India geo-politically when it realizes that the GDP statistics that it has been relying to gage its progress has not amounted to much in the long run. The western nations will siphon this Indian productivity into its coffers. So what we see is "British (now AMERICAN) East India Company" circa 1600.
Pakistani psycho troll speaks lies and nonsense
NEW YORK: Renowned Indian activist and novelist Arundhati Roy has decried the silence of the international community over the continued “brutal Indian occupation of Kashmir” and said Kashmiris should be given the right to self-determination……
She said so little was known about the atrocities being committed by more than half a million Indian troops, the continuing repression and indignities let loose on Kashmiri men, women and children.
More than 700,000 troops were concentrated in the tiny valley, with checkpoints at every nook and corner of Kashmiri towns and cities. The huge Indian presence, she added, was in sharp contrast with 160,000 US troops in Iraq.
Ms Roy alleged that Indian army or security personnel were killing young children,
INDIA:::: Some Alarming Statistics: (Source: UNDP)
• 1/3rd world’s poor is in India. It also has a higher proportion of its population living on less than $ 2 per day than even sub-Saharan Africa.
• 828 million people or 75.6% of the Indian population is living below $2 a day. 42% of the population is living below the new international poverty line.
• 33% of the global poor are Indians. Sub-Saharan Africa considered the world’s poorest region is better than India.
41.8% of the rural population survive with monthly per capita consumption expenditure of Rs447 ($7)on essential necessities like food, fuel, light and clothing.
The Aghori or Aghouri is a Hindu cult that is considered to have split off from the Kapalika order in the fourteenth century AD. They have cannibalistic rituals. The streets of northern Indian cities are littered with followers of this cult carrying a kapala, which is a cup made from a skull! These bizarre people will eat anything from rotten food to animal faeces. In order to achieve the highest citadel of enlightenment, the Aghori will perform horrendously crude rituals. The finality of their rituals is attained from eating the decaying flesh of a human.

nonsense. You are a Pakistani
The Indian Debacle could overshadow the European crisis. GDP that has dropped off the cliff (4% est), budget deficits, collapse of Indian rupiah, rampant poverty, unemployment, FDI reversal, companies leaving town are some of the disastrous events that are threatening the Indian state. The downward spiralling is so severe that the Indian government has been unable to control it. Even the Americans have been unable to help and several trips by the treasury secretary were not helpful. This also has security repercussions for India and US defense secretary and secretary of state have flown in to counsel India on how to protect its borders with the help of Israel/IDF. Rumors have it that the breakup of India along the lines of Soviet Union is a very plausible scenario that I am sure intelligence agencies all over the world are factoring in their geopolitical stress tests.
You are a Pakistani troll, lying as usual

With such "Dark Age" culture still in existence in India how can the world be healthy and the neighbors prosperous. India poses a grave danger to the world and its deities and leaders set a bad example. Mahatma Gandhi, a pedophile, needs to be exposed and tried posthumously for his child molestation crimes just like the Penn State crowd Sandusky et al. Gandhi's statutes need to be knocked down everywhere they have been put in USA. The hindu deities need to be shattered and trashed. Disgusting figurines of ugly and scary looking characters with demonic personalities. How can hindu children grow up mentally stable looking at such atrocious representations of evil in its most heinous form.
You are truly disgusting. You LIE. LIAR Pakistani
"You cannot reap flowers when you sow poison seeds into the earth"
India is the best example of a failed nation that was carved out on the basis of
a religious cult called hinduism.
Now same religion people are busy slaughtering each other and ethnically
cleansing all the other minorities including Christians and Hindus.
Hatred, religious intolerance and violence is in the deep roots of India starting from the point where its founders used them to radicalize people to form this nation. And now all these factors in their very essence got fully transpired to the crazy religious hindu psychos there we read about everyday.
What is the contribution of India to the world society since its 60 years history ??? NIL and infact it produced and raised some of the most dreaded terrorists in the history with support from its government, army and RAW and not the least the moral support from its citizens.
Forget the other minorities, they even don't tolerate their own same religion people, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Muslims, Christians are targeted and are ethnically cleansed everyday in markets, inside their mandirs aand gurdwaras nd are blown in a country which has 98% hindus !!!
India is a living example for all the world that religious cult madness will only take them to stone age and nowhere else.............................INDIA IS A LIVING HELL!!!!
LIAR LIAR LIAR
You are a LYING Pakistani troll
Anybody know if Kali Maa is menstruating this week?
In India, millions of girls are strangled, slowly starved or simply tossed in the trash. Moreover, in India, at least 1,370 girls are aborted every day. As a comparison, some 250 Indians die every day in road accidents. Terrorists killed about six people, on an average, every day in 2009. In the last two decades of economic debacle, 10 million girls have died as such in India.
SHAME ON INDIA AND ITS BARBARIC AND MEDIEVAL CULTURE !!!
Indians have killed more human beings (girls particularly) than Al Qaeda and Talibans put together.
You are a LIAR , a lying disgusting Pakistani

Indian police have charged 80 people for burying children alive in an ancient Hindu ceremony known as "the festival of pits."
The ceremony, in which children - some less than a year old - are buried alive briefly and then dug up, happened on Monday in southern Tamil Nadu state, The Asian Age reported on Thursday.
Every two years, parents who have vowed to bury their first-born if they are blessed with a child, take part in the Kuzhimattru Thiru Vizha ceremony.
The children are drugged to make them unconscious and placed in shallow "graves" in temple courtyards.
The pits are covered with leaves and dirt and the children are pulled out after Hindu priests chant a brief prayer - lasting up to a minute.

You are a vile disgusting Pakistani LIAR
Bizarre Health Rituals in India Show Dangerous Side of Tradition
In what has got to be on of the most vile and disturbing things ever put to print, a man in eastern India was arrested for his unconventional and downright insane method of curing the common cold in children.
50-year old Jamun Yadav, who considers himself to be a demigod of the Hindu faith, believes he can channel and transfer divine energy through his feet, which has lead to him standing on the necks and throats of young children suffering from your average run-of-the-mill cold.
When asked about them, the guru claimed that he was merely speaking for God, and as such needs no other defense.
It serves as a grim reminder of the dangerous religious traditions observed by many Hindus in India, many of which are done so for the health of their children. One such ritual involves throwing infants off of a fifty foot tower, a tradition thought to bring good health and luck to the child throughout his or her life.
Indians originally and traditionally practiced "Sanatana Dharma" ( universal religion). Unable to comprehend the vastness of it, the british/westeners named people following it as "Hindus" ( as they originally lived near Indus valley). The country survives in its "unity in diversity" principle. Corruption and shortsightedness was seeded to split this unity and has now grown into a big tree. A ground up movement is needed. It also should start with a strong mind from each family that they will not give bribe nor take one. The whole country will be perfectly clean in a single decade.
Git outta here....hindus are a decadent culture...medieval people. Who you kiddin?
Apparently Ram was banging Kali Maa several times a day before Hanuman joined in and made it into a three some. This is common in Hindu families where they start off their daughters at about 4 years in having s@x and sell them off to old and rich farmers
Lord Ganesh uses his snout to do colonoscopy on hindus. Nothing is ever wasted in hindu cult. It is free too, No sterilization required. LMFAO !!!!
Apparently Devi Ji Kali Maa and Panchali have started an escort service in New Delhi. Ganesh and Hanuman doing pimp work.
Heh has Lord Ganesh been sniffin up your -ss yet today with his snout? Watch out he is on viagara these days...low sperm count!!!
“You cannot reap flowers when you sow poison seeds into the earth"
India is the best example of a failed nation that was carved out on the basis of
a cult
Now same cult people are busy slaughtering each other and ethnically
cleansing all the other minorities including Christians and Muslims.
Hatred, religious intolerance and violence is in the deep roots of India starting from the point where its founders used them to radicalize people to form this nation. And now all these factors in their very essence got fully transpired to the crazy religious hindu psychos there we read about everyday.
What is the contribution of India to the world society since its 60 years history ??? NIL and infact it produced and raised some of the most dreaded terrorists in the history with support from its government, army and RAW and not the least the moral support from its citizens.
Forget the other minorities, they even don't tolerate their own same religion people, Aghoris, Dalits, Chamaars,Jews, Christians are targeted and are ethnically cleansed everyday in markets, inside their mandirs and ashrams and are blown in a country which has 98% hindus !!!
India is a living example for all the world that cult like madness will only take them to stone age and nowhere
India is a TWO FACE SERPENT. A source of financing and inspiration for all terrorists in the world the likes of which have attack thousand of innocents everyday across the world. A place where these extremists seek refuge after attacking neighboring countries. India is a Smithsonian specimen. Like humpty dumpty even USA, NATO and the entire free world are having a tough time holding it together. Living in the shadows of China, defined by bangladesh, haunted by Nepal and Myanmar and punctuated by zillion hindu extremist Terror Organizations, India is struggling to find a meaning for its existence and a place in the new world order. How can it stand up? certainly not on its feet .....perhaps on its knees to seek redemption for double crossing USA in Afghanistan.
Split India into three parts, give Punjab to the Sikhs the tribal and ungoverned part to Myanmar and give other half to pakistan/China. This will make it governable and manageable and this will generate tremendous economic demand for western nations, be democratically more efficient and easy to manage,
Mentally ill Pakistani
LIAR
Come, Seek and Discover. Match India's medievalism to your heart, its girl trashing ways to your mind, and find a smelling experience that is yours alone. An India like no other. Dirty, Backstabbing and Cult Like. A Financier of Terrorism. DISGUSTING INDIA. COME, COME, EXPERIENCE!!!
You are mentally ill
You are sick Pakistani
LIAR
I'm dreaming of an Imploded India
Just like the one Ram used to dream
Where the women are beaten up, and children dumped in trash
To see rat drippings in Chennai
And cow dung on dinner tables in Mumbai
Dashing through the Ganges
In a one cow open sleigh
O'er the sewage filled waters we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on rat tails ring
Making spirits shiver with plague
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one buffalo open sleigh
I – IMPOTENT
N- NEANDERTHALS
D- DECADENT

A-A–HOLES
Corruption and terrorism defines the indian nation that it continues to export. The Norwegian attack was inspired by Indian fanatics aka Shiv Sena. Hitler was a buddy of Gandhi the "so called" man of peace spinning cotton during daytime and banging underage boys at night.
At least five Indian leaders/prime ministers/presidents have been assasinated by hindu fanatics. Several genocides have either been undertaken in India or ongoing as we speak.
You need mental help, Pakistani
Recall, how the Indian hindus were again enslaved by Europeans and transported to the Carribean Islands and South America to work in sugar plantations. The mindset of Indians are so much set in slavery they they cant pull themselves of their poverty quagmire and inferiority complex that they developed over time.
50 million girls in India have gone missing in 3 generations through practices like infanticide, feticide, deliberate starvation, dowry murders, bride trafficking, honor killings and witch hunts !!!!
Hindus belong to the third world
The disenchantment of minorities is evident by the recent uprising in India. From Bangalore to Mumbai, to Goa to Kerala and Chennai and Pune not to forget Assam and onto New Delhi ..... this is a premonition of epic proportions. We are witnessing the implosion of India..some will grasp it now while others will need to see it in the rear view mirror.
And now India has started meddling in Myanmar. Arms suupplied by EU to India have found in Myanmar. India needs to be taken out and reduced to ashes.
India is a drag on region, a dinosaur that should exploded further
80% of Indians live in rural areas, are poverty stricken and are starving
Most of these are uneducated and suffer from gastro enteritis problems
50% of hindu children are born out of wedlock.
EU has started process of taking India to woodshed for militiarizing Myanmar
I will not tolerate India draggin the world down. Take it down without further ado
Pakistan is very lucky to have some time to fix the legislative issues at hand as one of the mischievous neighboring country to the east is languishing in economic malaise and short of cash to create problems. I aspire one day to migrate to a muslim country where I can enjoy freedom and equal opportunities in education, employment, social acceptance etc. It was a mistake to stay back in Hindustan after it was imploded in 1947. It has been nothing but torture. We are organizing an approach to US Congress to investigate the deplorable condition of muslims in India. Not to mention the genocide happening in Indian Occupied Kashmir.
