1. Is coalition politics here to stay?
The
following points could be discussed under this topic:
Nature
of coalition politics. Indecisiveness of elections. No particular party is
getting the peoples mandate. Advantage of coalition politics in enabling
formation of government. Flipside of coalition politics- a party with a handful
of seats become powerful. Government falls before tenure. Fresh elections each time.
Suggest a way out of this problem, for e.g.: once a party pledges support to a
coalition, it will not withdraw its support until it has watched a governments
performance for at least three years...etc The future -will it only have
coalitions ,emerging political trends...etc...
2. Does India need a dictator?

following points could be discussed under this topic:
The
current political structure. Drawbacks of it. Bureaucracy, layers in decision

against and take up your position on the issue.

The
following points could be discussed under this topic:
Define
secularism.Constitution calls our country such a state, but how things have
changed over the last 50 years.Spread of nationalism. Division into majority
and minority groups-e.g. benefits given to minority groups perceived as a
threat by others. Role of non-tolerant neighbors in fuelling fundamentalism. It
is a passing phenomenon. We have the national character to overcome
this....Points along these lines can be discussed.

The
following points could be discussed under this topic:
Discuss
current education system. Discuss our sociological structure.Poverty which
forces kids to drop out to supplement family income.Vicious circle-poverty due
to lack of education and vice versa.Suggest solutions to get out of this-for
e.g., governments are doing a commendable job with the midday meal schemes but
we need more of such efforts. Going down further , why restrict it to
government alone? why cant private people, NGOs and other voluntary bodies come
forward to do the same? How about tapping corporate funds for such causes
.....etc.....
5. What ails Indian sports?
The
following points could be discussed under this topic:
A
nation of 950 million, we fail to produce great champions barring the
occasional Vishwanathan Anand or Geet Sethi. Sports system steeped in
bureaucracy. Overriding popularity of cricket leading to neglect in other
sports.Traditionally , sports not accorded much importance by us as a career.
Need to develop sports from the primary school level-"catch em
young". Various incentives to be given to budding sportsmen like academic
credits, sports in lieu of a few other subjects etc. Development of sports
infrastructure, making it amenable and affordable...etc.....

Today
a plethora of sources to provide information-Newspapers, radio, Television,
Internet etc. Information available at the touch of a button. Greater decision

informed forges ahead. The flipside-information overkill. At times deciding is
tough due to too much information ...etc.....

The
following points could be discussed under this topic:
Globalization
of business. Opening up of the various economies. Cross cultural exchanges.
More and more people getting an opportunity to work in different lands among
different peoples and absorbing a bit of their values and culture. This leads
to greater tolerance and understanding of others' problems. The other
side-people despite all this have nationalistic and regionalist chauvinism . A
world divided into first, second and third worlds. People still talk of
"their" economy and not world economy. Europe has shown a step in
this direction with EU but its feasibility remains to be seen. So while people
clamor for globalization, they still think only in terms of their national
interests...etc...
10. Quality is a myth in India.
The
following points could be discussed under this topic:
The
Indian products and manufacturing techniques. Why are we unable to sustain
against global competition. Our mindset towards quality. Indian attitude of
"chalta hai" which leads to an undemanding customer which in turn
lets people get away with substandard products and services. Today competition
is forcing our industry to adhere to global standards so we are getting there
in terms of quality. Examples of our software industry which is recognized for
its ability to meet global standards etc. Since the topic is general, we can extrapolate
it to our quality of life-the air , the water , the facilities we have, the
infrastructure we have, the services we get and put up with etc.
