 India needs overhaul
Dear friends this article is incomplete and under-written 
India really needs overhaul. I divided all area into basically into three parts i.e. Political, Social and Economy.
 
Political –

National –It is very common notion that elections equal democracy. In Kenya presidential election both Ruling and opposition party were accused of vote-rigging after that a massive violence erupted. So there must be free and fair election for a progressive society and free and fair election can’t achieved without a free and independent judiciary, a free and a vibrant civil society and must have a credible dispute resolution mechanism in case of political crisis such as in Jharkhand assembly so that electorate trust maintained in political leader and democracy system 
Law and order-
Outdated laws 
Transparency and more accountable 
Regime of less subsidy to investment in agriculture and 
Stake holder in SEZ

International- India should have a clear cut notion about international matter
Strategic – Japan has a bigger economy compare to china but have central attention because of military prowess 

Social—Population control—By 2050 , the world population will be nine billion from today’s 6.5 billion, how can India ignore this major problem .This is because of extremist religious concerns. Politician and social activist have to show courage in highlighting the problem. Werner Fornes of Population Action Council said recently there is no leadersip in the population field. Population is closely connected to diminishing forest, wildlife, desert expansion, global warming , water shortages

Huge urban and rural divide-PURA is needed to bridge the divide
 Broad band is key infrastructure to bridge the rural-urban divide
 
Education and its policy- Drop out rate, literatecy rate only shows people are aware of alphabets, low moral values ( see Transparency International data),
Engineering college standard, standard is ok because of Medical council but there is no increase in no of medical college (compare 1947 and 2007)
New colleges or institution must be open in underdeveloped area. Like some city has so many research institutions and some state doesn’t have any. Political biases must be ignore during establishment of new Institution like IITs, IIM, IIScER. It was basically a very good initiative by sonia Gandhi to open NIFT at Bareily.


Balance of growth- there should not be developed pocket/patches in agriculture. India has all developed agriculture as in Punjab, Haryana or some south-Indian state, parallely jhooming and traditional agriculture practices.

Inclusive growth

Regional and religious intolerance


Uniform civil code
Overturning the judgment of Supreme Court in ShahBano Case during Rajiv Gandhi Prime ministerial ship has loosed a chance to change the different civil code. Passing the muslim women (Protection of rights on divorce) India moved one step back. 
Sikhs are facing so many problems with turban and it seems very hard to complete removal of this practice. Khuswant singh in an article suggested the Sikh community to eliminate the turban in a step wise manner. Turban people not preferred in Fashion industry, in entertainment sector so this custom should need flexibility. No of country have banned turban in schools. Recently one site was launched to teach Sikh youth how to be fashionable with turban. As per my opinion it should be left on person’s choice. If someone think he can do better with clean-shaven, it’s fine. What we need is productivity, a developed tolerant and liberal society.

Health-poor primary health centre, numbers of doctors/capita, less no of medical insurance, poor sanitary system, health and hygiene -193 polio cases alone in 2007 and along with Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan is the only country where Polio is still endemic. 
 Poor connectivity- less no of mobile holders despite cheapest rate of call, poorly managed road, link with every village to at least district headquarters, crime-, and accident free roads,
Delayed justice is justice denied- lots of vacancies, pending cases in courts and judicial-faith among citizens

 
Economy-India is one of the major exporter of IT and ITES. But current trend shows decrease in market, companies shifting BPO jobs to another destination.

Lack of innovative product it needs extensive research infrastructure

Change in standards of quality products and regulatory body

Macrofinance

India has most no of (53) billionaires in Asia and Four Indians among worlds eight richest in Forbes magazine list but still …. No of BPL family is not going down. 

Infrastructure-On India road average speed is pathetic, costing fuel and motor services, facilities on national highway

Relatively low banking network in rural area both scheduled and co-operative banks 
Unorganized moneylenders- microfinance system
