What are the problems today's India is facing?

What are the problems today's India is facing?
Here is a list I thought of:

1. Corruption - Leaving aside the politicians, let me talk about general public. How many of us can say that no one in our families is not involved in corruption. Our parents, brothers or sister who work in government offices take bribes to build houses, buy cars and other luxury goods and we enjoy them while talking about how corrupt our politicians are. What a hypocrisy!

2. Narrow minded youth - Many of the youth are still slaves to regionalism. For them state comes first and then comes the nation. Thats why a Tamil is a madrasi in Delhi and in Bangalore all from north are "northies", in North all the south indians are Mallus or Madrasis .. LAME

3. Poor Infrastructure - Cities grow like mushrooms with people living like animals unless they have money. Real estate is a joke in India. The prices are comparable to those in US or Europe when the salaries are meagre. This leads to a cycle of corruption.

4. Illiteracy - Our educational system based on the british model sucks and thats why we have politicians who are illeterates elected again and again.

5. Lack of Leadership - We have almost always had morons as prime ministers or presidents. All these idiots cared for was how to remain in power and make way for their sons/ daughters/ relatives to join them. No one gave a shit on India's development.
