If I were the PM of India now...

1.I would assure the country that I will avenge the Mumbai attacks, and if that includes bombing terror camps in PoK, then so be it. I will launch an international campaign to highlight the existence of terror camps in Pak with concrete and indubitable evidences and soon attack these camps, without giving terrorists enough time to relocate their camps, nor allowing the international bullies to mount pressure on India. Such an attack would obviously be aimed at minimising collateral damage.

2.I would ban the visits of politicians (including myself) to blast/terror hit areas, and all condolences offering visits would be undertaken by respected civil servants, army men and civil right activists - not by dogs.

3.I would declare Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Chennai as 'Union Territories' - like Delhi, and ensure that their security is a top priority. All Raj Thackerays would be taken into preventive detention sine die, and if that involves breaching the constitution for the larger good of the people, then I would not hesitate to do it.

4.I would ban all the useless foreign visits of our polity, starting from the Mahamahim Rashtrapati Shri Pratibha Devisingh Patil ji (as Doordarshan likes to call her) and her large family.

5.I would implement a maximum three-child policy for the country at first, and then gradually reduce the bar on number of children per couple to two, irrespective of opposition from any religious group. I'd strengthen the police forces in a time bound manner (say 8 months), to tackle any element/s in our society creating troubles/animosities.

6.I would recruit judicial magistrates and judges at 50 times the current recruitment rate. There is so much unemployment even among graduates in our country, why not use it to improve the judicial system? Each case would have to be solved within a maximum two years. Judges not delivering on this deadline would be severely penalised.

7.I'll establish 10 IIT-styled "Institutes of Sports" in India, each of which would specialise fields like Tennis, football, wrestling, Boxing, weightlifting, athletics, swimming & diving etc. They would award degrees to sportsmen and would produce the best sportspersons in the world. I'd also triple the present average stipend to research scientists so that more bright minds can take up science research as a career. They'd also have free railway facility and other amenities enjoyed by our MP's in parliament.

8.I would bring in public-private partnership in the Municipal Corporations of our cities; and have say, 5 Red-Tape Ministers in my cabinet, whose only job would be to inaugurate stuff on my behalf.

9.I would concretise India's borders with Bangladesh and Nepal and involve respectable big private Indian companies in Arms Deals abroad. It's simply ridiculous to go slow on defence-shopping - fearing middlemen and scandals!

10.I would widen the scope of death sentence to include terrorists, rapists, corrupt politicians and officials and those who incite communal riots. It wouldn't be for the rarest of the rare.

Dreams, at times, do come true. If politicians today don't take a cue from what's happening in this country, then our future is doomed.

Is there any politician who can turn this dream into reality? Is there anyone who can say "HANG ME!!! IF I DON'T DELIVER". Jai Hind. In the answer to these questions lies our future...
