Do our state and central governments work at all?

More than 182 people died in just bomb blasts in india in 2008 alone (http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE49T3US20081030?sp=true). Citizens continue to die due to naxal attacks, due to law & order issues like Singur & Mumbaikers vs North Indians. More people continue to die due to total failure of adminstration in situations like Bihar & Orissa floods. All in just past 11 months.

If only the govts are working, will we really have any of the above situations at the scale they happened?

Instead of accepting total failure of his govt, we have our educated and elite PM blaming other countries for the current crisis. What’s the point in having a elected government when it fails to do basic tasks that are expected. Are we as citizens totally immune to all the mayhem thats happening around us? Don’t we citizens have any responsibility towards all these? Can we not do anything to change this?

Like this excellent introspective article in Asian Age states, http://www.asianage.com/presentation/leftnavigation/opinion/op-ed/we-must-solemnly-admit-to-failing-the-constitution.aspx, the foundation  of constitution is shaken and has failed.
