Paragraph on lndia Todayparagraph on India today

Answer 1

India as an independent modern state has not been in existence for even for a century, but it has been there long enough for us to pause and try to assess what has been achieved since we won freedom from an alien rule. Today India appears to be a bundle of contradictions, a mixture of the good, the bad and the indifferent. We see a coexistence of positive achievements and negative features

As a political entity we have survived several problems of transition, coped with the biggest ever refugee exodus in all history in the wake of partition, taken in our stride political assassinations; we have managed to continue as a democratic republic whose Constitution has stood the test of time. This is not a meagre achievement if we look at many of the nations in Asia and Africa. How many of these have managed to retain their democratic-republic status and not succumbed to a military or other coup since getting liberated?
