India is uniquely placed in the world in that it is a civilisational state. It's culture & religion is evolved over many thousand of years, many systems have been fine tuned. Even in Europe or China, Christianity & Buddhism which has had the single most important influence in these regions were imported. Even today India runs two parallel systems - the govt & its bureaucracy inherited from the British and the traditional systems. Nothing could be worse than try to adapt a bureaucracy, police or military which was previously meant to suppress the very people who it intends to serve today. The apathy and aloofness of the police or bureaucrats can be explained by this. Granted that it was a smoother transfer of power, and we are starting to see a great pace of reform, small govt and less of the congress.
