India's Future - Elephant vs. Dragon

I happen to read this article written by Prof. Arindam Chaudhuri You guessed it right. It’s about the Indian economy and the competition with China . A Fight of Elephant vs. Dragon. Here is the link  http://www.iipm.edu/iipm-old/india-future.html In the article, the author says democracy is our greatest strength, I feel it can well become our biggest let down. Yes, democracy will be the biggest strength of a country not when we have political parties run by communal fundamentalists, or by generations of a single political dynasty, not when we have a foreigner running the government behind the screens and our so called prime minister acting as a puppet. Yes, we do have democracy but we don't have inner democracy within each political party. The current political parties that we have are communal, or either communist, or corrupt, or run by family dynasties, or based on caste-ist politics. When will our political parties rise above these partisan politics based on caste,
