How is India a democracy when its politicians are in their function by virtue not election aren't most of the political parties related to eachother (family?)
Also India might have shaken and driven out the britains from their country but certainly not their minds. If you compare India now to how it was before the occupation, India certainly was in touch with its roots. The populace of India has westernized a lot. I personally think that India has a very profound spiritual background but it seems that a lot of Indians have forgotten about this and adopted the skeptic british mindset. Mahabharata remains one of my favourite books, I really like Vedic literature in general. But I feel as if India is really trying to be western when it should just be India, thats what it always was and what it should strive to be. Themselves. India was a modern country in itself without westerners.
It had manners, great fashion and very developed compared to most countries. Though there were and still are the class systems and in my modern mind I can't really agree on that, India has always had a good amount of prosperity being naturually rich and is home to some of the earliest philosphers even before Greeks. India could be considered the first country that was developed enough to have loads of free time and when any society gets free time they will devote this to philosophy, math, astrology and other sciences. Which is not only a privelege but also shows how socially developed a country is when there's a general free speech and free thought. Most western countries after the fall of Rome weren't ready for this untill the 17th century. Only Arabia dominated by Islam who didn't forbid sciences such as math and astrology didn't even come close to India in that matter.
I think India and its Vedic literatures is one of the few that actually acknowledges the possibility (or believes in it) that earlier civilisations were far more advanced that we are now.
And such theories are becoming truth more rather than fiction as we are unraveling inventions of the greeks that are very similar to early forms of computers. With all the civilisations lost in oblivion its hard to tell if we're the most advanced because there's nothing to compare us to except for some Greek literature, the middle ages and we know the Romans we're pretty keen on hygene and inventing stuff, the fact that we draw most of our science from earlier civilisations and also philosophy just shows how immature we are in our time.
But back to the point; India imo has a long way to go, cause those british might have left the country but they are still in the minds of many indians.
