It sure is a good thing that India has nukes!
I have a Too-Big-To-Fail theory—as any complex social system grows, it reaches some kind of equilibrium boundary, and if it tries to grow beyond that, black swans, catastrophes, and the usual apocalyptic implosion inevitably occurs.
No I know this is going to put me out on the fringe of Anarcho-Libertarian-Fascists, but we all need to stop building social organizations that are too big to fail. The consequences of total failure just keep getting bigger(see WW2).
So the solution for India is that it needs to be a few smaller independent nations. Even the idea of a single, unified "India" is a fiction created less than a century ago for the political purpose of throwing off the oppressive, exploitive imperial rule of the British.
Just look at Rome or any empire. It's the same exact high level pattern. I'd say the same applies to China, Russia, and the US too! (God knows I'd love to throw those Red-State weirdos out of the Union–just kidding of course).
If humanity wants to survive for the long-term, living in peace and prosperity on this Blue Marble, we're going to need to master our collective ability to break down inefficient social organizations without resorting to the same kind of barbaric warfare which we've always used.
