Appropriate anger has already been expressed about this comment in all media and suitable explanation and retraction done already. But I want to look at this as citizen.

North America and Europe have democracy for long time. They had chance of rebuilding their countries through two devastating world wars.

Their building was done before world became aware of rights of endogenous people, environment protection and corporate giants.

Only large country that managed scorching pace of growth and pulling population out of poverty in modern times is China. They are not democracy and there is no word for human rights in their language.

We, in India, are at a strange point of developement and democracy.
We desperately need developement for good of our population and to face external challenges but we NEED democracy.

Without democracy and credible opposition, we will be back to late 19th century chaos.
