I thought I'll attempt to answer your question here. The following are some of the difficulties India is facing:
- Overpopulation
- Terrorism
- Scarcity of water
- Poor governance
- Corruption
- Disparities of income and poverty
- Poor infrastructure
- Low productivity, especially in agriculture
- Very high fiscal deficit
- Moderately high external debt
- Regional disparities
- Unemployment
- Kashmir dispute
- Illiteracy
I can give further explanations if you want. deeptrivia (talk) 04:33, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Life of Pi
It would be great if you could restore a symbolism section with sourced material, since you seem to know of some. -- Stbalbach 13:43, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Succession boxes
No problem - I see you replaced it properly, so all to the good. Just two points - there's no need to show a King-regnant as 'with Queen such and such' (but you do show a King-consort as 'with Queen so and so' if he held some sort of regal power); and you should show the full name of the preceeding and succeeding consorts in the succession box (either an acceptable form of their article title, or their dynastic name - so for the Queen of Henry II of Navarre, you could list her in the preceeding and succeeding boxes as either 'Margaret of Angouleme', or some variant (since she came from the Valois-Angouleme family), or as 'Margaret of Navarre' (since that is the article title, and the name she is most commonly known by). Nice work, though - especially on the Henry IV succession box. Michael Sanders 04:04, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- For consorts, the official title is (and is recorded in the box as) Queen-consort - and obviously, the King regnant wouldn't be there. 'With' is only needed if the person officially held power beyond the role of consort. As for surnames, we're expected to show the 'surname' of the consort, since it is used as part of the name of the man or woman. However, it is up to you whether you show the name according to article title (thus, 'Margaret of Navarre') or according to family, house, etc (thus Margaret of Angouleme - which is her 'official' title, along with 'of Valois', 'of France', but which is not the most commonly used name for her). If an article title is more complicated (say it was 'Catherine de Medici, Queen of France', because there was another, more well-known Catherine de Medici), you don't need to show the 'Queen of France' bit.

- One other thing: the Bourbons and Valois are cadet branches of the Capetian dynasty, rather than of the House of Capet. Michael Sanders 00:50, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
