Is India 2011 closer to England 1945?

"The condition of England at present is pitiable. I pray to God that India may never be in that plight. That which you consider to be the Mother of Parliaments is like a sterile. woman and a prostitute. Both these are harsh terms. but exactly fit the case. That Parliament has not yet, of its own accord done a single good thing. Hence I have compared it to a sterile woman. The natural condition of that Parliament is such that, without outside pressure, it can do nothing. It is like a prostitute because it as under the control of ministers who change from time to time. Today it is under Mr. Asquith tomorrow it may be under Mr. Balfour." - MK Gandhi in Hind Swaraj. How close are we?
