India's biggest problems

Observations on the biggest problems of India in order of priority that the leadership is afraid of tackling.
  1. Waqf board land-grabbing & judicial extraordinary powers. Now 2nd largest landowner in India. Powers granted by PV Narasimha Rao & Jawaharlal Nehru governments. Tackling will lead to riots & push-back by the 2nd most powerful global power: Islam. 
  2. Church land grabbing. Originally leased by the colonial British. Now the largest landowner in India. Tackling will result in pushback by the most powerful global power: Christianity.
  3. Reservations. Mired Indian society in mediocrity, deepening fault lines & hatred against the native Hindu culture, traditions & religion. Pushed through by Ambedkar with a time limit of 25 years that is now indefinite & worsened by Vishwanath Pratap Singh. Tackling with result in riots & push-back by the two of the three most powerful global powers: Communism & Christianity.
  4. No-go areas, Intolerant demographic change, rioting & Ethnic cleansing: Needs heavy funding, powerful policing & an end to no-go areas. Restoration of rights & properties of Kashmiri Hindus & Bru Mizoram Hindus. Article 370 & 35A revoked but remaining Kashmiri Hindus still terrorized. Problems are the Red Corridor (Communism, Maoism, Naxalism), Kashmir (Radical Islam), Mizoram/Nagaland (Radical Christianity). 
  5. Minority commission: Special rights for global powers of Christianity & Islam. Setup by the Manmohan Singh/Sonia Gandhi govt. States where Hindus are a minority deny the minority status to Hindus to deny them govt aid. Idea comes from Communism which uses western models to presume that majority oppresses minority.
  6. SC/ST Act: Guilty under proven innocent draconian law passed by Vishwanath Pratap Singh. Order to dilute by the Supreme Court overturned by the government under threat of violence & loss of power. Tackling will be opposed by Communism.
  7. 498a: Passed by Indira Gandhi. Guilty until proven innocent law that devastates husbands & their extended families. Devastates the family structure. Tackling will be opposed by the feminism wing of Communism.
  8. RTE: Right to Education Act applicable only to Hindu schools with onerous regulations forcing them to shut down.
  9. Government control of Hindu temples: Communist, Evangelist & Islamic governments control only Hindu temples interfering with its function, tax & loot the temples impoverishing the temples. Setup by the colonial British.
  10. Collegium: Supreme Court Justices elect themselves. Setup by the colonial British only in India to ensure judges loyal to the British but not implemented in Britain.  Takes huge breaks, capricious & hears frivolous cases. Will be opposed by the Supreme Court losing its powers.
  11. Legal backlog: Hearings keep getting postponed or stayed. Can be solved by a simple rule used by a Pakistani judge. No postponements unless there is a severe sickness or death of plaintiff, defendant or judge.
  12. License-permit Raj & labor laws: Socialist communist system that is a nightmare for new businesses & closing businesses a bigger nightmare. Communist labor laws circumvented with SEZs (Special Economic Zones) & some legal convolutions fixed. But needs a lot more work.
  13. Bullying by foreign powers seeking break-up of the nation to control smaller states: Can be achieved by fixing internal problems & boosting the economy. 
  14. Colonial system: Genociders glorified, worshipped, have cities & roads in their name owing to colonial history. State looks to fix the natives instead of serving them. High courts & the Supreme Court require English to deliver justice. Higher education requires English. Imposed by the colonial British. Results in mental colonization & looking down on native cultural wisdom.
  15. Corruption: Worsened by a continuation of the British colonial systems. No easy solutions. Maybe temporarily weaken privacy laws, strengthen whistle-blower laws & enable citizen spying & journalism. Add incentives by sharing corruption recovery funds with the whistle-blowers.  
  16. Cleanliness: Can be fixed by punishment for littering as in Singapore & Japan, & less corrupt waste management. Waste management contracts are given to political contacts, spending a large amount of public money for the poorest service.
  17. Places of worship act: Passed by PV Narasimha Rao govt. Denies Hindus from reclaiming any of their demolished holy shrines. Goes against principles of natural justice. Law not enforced when demolishing Hindu shrines for 'development'.

What would be your list in order of priority?
