Upliftment

Root cause of unrest is lacuna or the feeling of it.
It is when basic necessities are lacking that the protests become violent.
Our economy is so often based on exploitation - our history of land acquisition is pathetic and much abused - there is no trust factor any more.
This is the time to empower the people - to regain thier trust
Cooperative villages - catering to the local or foreign market
Landowners and homeowners retain their status
Farmers can join hands to open lands for better machinery, technology and economy of scale training their farmers into research and management 
From potters to weavers to toy makers, each group can benefit by numbers - in terms of funds for equipment, QC, packaging and marketing resulting in competitive pricing and greater profits.

Venture Capital required to fund equipment and technology, set up a marketing team. Return plus interest will come once the cooperative starts earning.

World peace

Is conflict the only solution to settle differences or does compassion and compromise play a role?  We are all humans born with a heart the same as others, then what is it that takes hold of some minds towards inhuman deeds? Is it genetic defect and if so can this be modified.
But there is a flip side to genetic manipulation - the urge to produce superhumans.  The Defense departments will be the ones to get it first and produce a martial force that will first work for them and then may take over the world.

Population

If people believe that their will be severe economic hardships - more than the possible benefits from fathering more than 2 children - will they then stop?
If US can be a trillion dollar debtor, why cant India borrow some measly billions to take care of the shelter, food, water and health needs for its poorest citizens with voting rights?
It is the denial of basic rights that takes the fight out of Indians. Ensure that and then see the power of the educated masses - educated in skills and trade that can feed the world.  If India is truly a place where industriousness fetches just rewards, each person will be free to choose the type of life to live while respecting the others' rights.  Our core philosophy is strong - it needs to spread its wings for all to see. As of now, we as a nation can only be united in the face of war from outside or cricket matches. There's very little else to be proud about - but that can change
