1. I am from Tamilnadu, a southern state in India. A proud Tamil Indian from a middle class background. My father was a govt. employee and is a staunch anti Modi :-) oh also I am not a Tam.Bhram.
2. Modi wave is not a fact in Tamilnadu, similar to other southern states. I think it is difficult for any Hindi speaker to truly gain support. Arghh! Hindi! ;-)
3. I studied in a Christian Society of India school, am a Hindu but I know the difference between serving as a Christian and selling Christianity for money
4. I successfully exited my startup with 5x returns for my investors. As a startup founder I first hand experienced the govt. machinery and can vouch that being an entrepreneur in India is still difficult even after many reforms.
5. However 2 yrs back, the IT dept actually refunded me for 15lakhs without any follow up or bribe, the cheque actually came by mail, can you believe! The govt is putting all efforts to make the system non personal and digitized which has a huge effect on bribes. Bribes thrive where there is subjectivity and misinformation, automate it and you have bribe gasping for air.
So that's it, sorry for disappointing your stereotype assumption on me.
