In the richest continent!

Been in Africa for past month and a half. The more I see of it, the more I learn about it (from people or/and internet), the more I appreciate Indian democracy. Yes there is corruption, nepotism, redtapism etc. But there is a stable democracy which works in India, in a place where it seems highly unlikely to work! There is poverty, but people somehow (as of date) are not drug addicted. There is crime, but still you can walk down a road without the fear of being mugged. There is population, but there is no staggering unemployment rate. Somehow people in India find their way out! Whereas in Africa we have countries, even with stable politics, of 4 million population but with a 40% unemployment rate. It is so counter intuitive! May be its high time to evolve and adopt schemes like Gramya-swarajya (as advocated by Gandhijee and Vinoba Bhabe).
