A comment on Conversation: Should we force democracy?
People of a community are expected to live harmoniously and peacefully. They are not supposed to invade / hurt other communities.

Unfortunately - rich people used / use democracy to promote their business interests. Guess we have to live with this.
A comment on Conversation: How can we best engage college students in the idea of learning instead of just getting a degree?
Companies / Govts are offering jobs to people who have degrees from reputed colleges. They do not want people who are lifelong learners. How can we expect students to be lifelong learners in such conditions.
Funny fact is - Companies say they do not get skilled people (ready to delivery value - for salary paid - from day one).

A reply on Conversation: Can a country with a large population find better and more efficient solutions to its problems under Communism?
With a GDP growth rate of 6% India should have been doing well but unfortunately it is dragged down by rapid growth of population 17% per annum (on a base of 1.7 billion).
Hope we find solutions to curtail the population growth rate.
