::The bulk of that material is copied from the CIA World Factbook, which is in the public domain.  Much of the rest is from the U.S. Department of State pages, which are also in the public domain.   Koyaanis Qatsi 22:56 22 Jul 2003 (UTC)
thanks for checking & adding CIA links... now I can sleep at night  technopilgrim 23:18 22 Jul 2003 (UTC)
:I didn't have to check, I'm the one who added the stuff.  ^_^  Anyway, there are many many more that I failed to cite; we had a plan to take care of it but it's been derailed at some point.  We should go ahead with it, I think.  Koyaanis Qatsi
This page has unnecessary information like country code, parties of India, etc in the middle. The parties of India has already as separate page List of political parties in India And, so I wish such unnecessary info should be removed for clarity. Rrjanbiah 05:37, 20 Dec 2003 (UTC)

thread_title: (untitled)

message: :While, being an Indian, I love the picture that this article attempts to present, but frankly, there is absolutely no discussion of corruption. Yes, it mentions corrupt juries but it doesn't stop there. In India, nothing gets done without a greased palm. My father is flying there this week for a family wedding (we live in the US) and he had to have a family member who lives in India bribe a member of of the Indian government to get his bloody visa! Furthermore the Prime Minister and President of India are always out to line their pockets etc. I'd love to make some addendums to the article myself, but I really don't have enough detailed knowledge. I'm a science geek, and I'm actually kind of disappointed that the article on India that is featured today didn't mention corruption at all. EagleFalconn 15:50, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Corruption

message: The Indian election process and the Elections in India pages don't exactly tell me much, and neither does this one. What specific system do they use? First-past-the-post? Single non-transferable vote? And according to Elections in India, India has a two party system. Which ones? Congress and ____? --Bash 03:51, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: What's the voting system for India?

message: The section titled "criticism" carries this line:
 "According to Recent polls India is shown to be the second most corrupt nation, after Hong Kong."
Which polls? Is Hong Kong is the most corrupt nation? I am not convinced with this, and I think this might have been vandalism. I plan to remove that line, unless anyone objects. If you do object to the removal, please post references. --ashwatha 06:47, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have removed that line, as well as some un-encyclopedic language. I hadn't logged in at the time, so the page history shows the changes as made by an anon. --ashwatha 06:04, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Criminal MPs 

message: For an article about the politics of India, this one focuses too heavily on the structure of the political system, where one might expect a discussion of actual politics.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Quantumelfmage (talk • contribs) 23:06, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Structure of Indian Political System 

message: The impact of diversity in India on politics, including division based on religion, region, language, caste needs to be discussed. It is the reason for the success of numerous communal, regional and casteist parties. 
The classification of political parties, on the basis of their agenda, policies and focus, as national vs. regional, communal vs. secular, left-wing vs. right-wing, conservative vs. reformist will be useful.

thread_title:  INC  vs Congress ( I ) 

message: We, the Indian always respect Indian politics, but some times we are very confused with the politics and buraucratic system.
Some homeopathic doctors are working in National Institute of Homoeopathy, kolkata for more than 25 years even some of them retired from service.They are working as Medical Officers and Assistant research officers. There is no promotional avenue as well as they are not getting DACP which is recommended by 5th and 6th Central pay Commission.This is an autonomous organisation under the department of AYUSH, Ministry of Health and F.W, Govt. of India.Union Health Minister is the president of Governing body of this Institute.Doctors are applied several times for their promotion or DACP but everything went in vain.There were changed in the ministry time to time with their secretaries and Joint Secretaries but everybody verbaly assured it not to implement it.In the meantime some senior doctors are retired from service. So it is regrate to say that one employee was joined in a post and retired from the same post with same pay scale without poromotion or Dynamic ACP(as recommended by 5th & 6th CPC)after long period of sincere service. Tis is called Indian political ans Buraucratic system.Nobody think about them.If these people get their service benifit then we will be grateful to our system.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shyam sarkar (talk • contribs) 06:33, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Doctors of an Autonomous body under the MoH &F.W Govt. of India are deprived for more than 25 years without promotion or DACP 

message: Some Medical officers of National Institute of Homeopathy, kolkata,an autonomous organisation under the Ministry of Health and F.W, Govt. Of India,dept. of AYUSH are deprived for 25 years. There is no promotional avenue for them or Dynamic ACP is not implemented there.This dynamic ACP recommended by 5th and 6th Central Pay Commission for isolated post of Group A service.So that government of India implemented it for Central Health Service cadres, CGHS, all IITs, Railway Board, Defence Health Service, Delhi Municipality even some States Health Service.
Union Health Minister is the President of Governing body of this Institute but there is no solution for this poor doctors. some of them will retire with in few years. So it is regrate to say that one employee was joine in a post and retiring from the same, it is our India we are proud of our Country!!!!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.194.67.59 (talk) 11:44, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
