jaihind! good day, good luck! Seeing the havockcreated by the earth rolling in Haitti & the worst situation facing by the Hattian community it look apperent that the world is lacking the system of real democacy & the social system. The governents, famous peopl & other social organizations appealing to people to send money to help people. If the world having the correct democracy & the free constitution then the every such crisis would be handled efficiently by the people itself. Today people are suffering because the wrong party system democracy is presented to people. THANKS FOR THE REPORT
