Indeed Urgh,
these are hard questions! Interesting as well that we have very different back grounds. I am living in a country that has fought for its place forever and we have some 1,000 kms of border with Russia...You, on the other hand have a long history of your country ruling the world!
Anyway, that was just a thought...
But the time when to change the ruler in those countries, that is a hard question. The race question still lives on there and the 1984 massacre at Golden temple: I still can remmeber it. Now who´s the good leader?
------
In May 1984, Sikh extremists occupied the Golden Temple in Amritsar. Gandhi responded in early June when she launched Operation Bluestar, which killed and wounded hundreds of soldiers, insurgents, and civilians. Guarding against further challenges to her power, she removed the chief ministers of Jammu and Kashmir and Andhra Pradesh just months before her assassination by her Sikh bodyguards on October 31, 1984...
