More than seven decades ago, when India began its journey as a newly-born democracy based on universal adult suffrage, naysayers predicted its premature demise.

India had nothing in common; its birth was preceded by unprecedented bloodshed and religious animosity, a fact that further befuddled theorists and political scientists. However, India has not only survived the initial forebodings but also thrived as a vibrant and stable democratic nation, while its neighbours have floundered notwithstanding their shared commonalities. One may wonder how India has managed to achieve the incredible feat. Though there is no single answer to this question, I believe there is something distinctly Indian — about the land and its people — that defies any explanation.

Complaint against Aamir Khan for 'disrespecting Indian Army' and 'hurting sentiments' in 'Laal Singh Chaddha' A Delhi-based lawyer on Friday submitted a complaint to Delhi Police commissioner Sanjay Arora against Bollywood actor Aamir Khan, Paramount Pictures and several others for allegedly "disrespecting the Indian Army and hurting Hindu Sentiments " in his movie 'Laal Singh Chaddha'. The film that opened with a collection of Rs 11.50 crore on Thursday witnessed a 40 percent drop on Friday. The film has been mired in controversy after netizens called for a boycott because of Aamir's statement about intolerance in the country. Protests were seen in some parts of the country like Punjab and Varanasi. Several shows of the film are reportedly cancelled due to low occupancy. A complaint has been filed against
