Joke number 1: They are communist parties in... India.

Quote:
In India, communist parties in India say they are withdrawing support for the governing coalition over a controversial civilian nuclear deal with the United States.

Quote:
Jobs in India - Included in the labor force are some 55 million children, other than those working directly for their parents. The Ministry of Labour and nongovernmental organizations estimate that there are 25 million children employed in the agricultural sector, 20 million in service jobs (hotels, shops, and as servants in homes), and 5 million in the handloom, carpet-making, gem-cutting, and match-making industries.

In India, communist parties accept to be part of the government while 55 million children are used as a labor force! That's what i call communism Very Happy

Joke number 2: India is the world's greatest democracy!

because it's a democracy and its people is over 1 billion. ok.

but there is problem. According to the net source below:
Quote:
A recent government report said “seventy-seven percent of Indians, about 836 million people, live on less than half a dollar a day.

http://page11.wordpress.com/2007/08/12/india-77-people-lived-below-the-poverty-line

With some 55 millions children working and more than 800 millions living with less than a dollar a day, India is not the world's greatest democracy... India is the world greatest shantytown! The largest ghetto in the World.

It looks like India desperately needs true democracy, unfortunately they are not yet in the queue.

Afganistan -> Iraq -> Syria -> Iran -> India?

Joke number 3: In India, cows and rats are sacred!

In India, cows and rats are sacred. There is a temple of so-called sacred rats too. To see the temple of rats click on the link below.

As the advertising says "Incredible India"! Cows and rats are sacred... but not children!
