>-- its a country by itself and is ruled basically by a dictator. Look up: http://www.travelblog.org/World/sn-gov.html Singapore is a Pariliamentary Republic, with the President, the CEO, elected democratically. The Parliament is too. You also complained that Singapore is very small--thus not fair to compare it with India. Well, duh! Why do you think some of us have been attempting to explain, to no avail, that India's size and diversity is an impediment to its governance and its progress. That is why those who want to govern themselves better ought to be able to do so, as either smaller independent units or truly autonomous smaller entities-- like Assam. And in areas where size is an advantage, they can have treaties, such as for trade, or defense, as a federation. > > From: Ram Sarangapani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2005/05/19 Thu AM 01:42:00 EDT > To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > CC: Assam@pikespeak.uccs.edu > Subject: Re: [Assam] It takes a village > > KJD, > > In the case of Singapore, its a country by itself and is ruled > basically by a dictator.
