right now the hindu nationalist party and prime minister trying to shift its national identity to one based in a hindu religious they are basically left out of the national identity. deeply problematic in a society that has that kind of history of communal violence based on sectarian differences appear i do not see how you can run a country like india except on liberal principles. that is the world we are facing today. so, i think with that let me close and see if you have any comments or questions. [applause] [applause] >> cooksey written someplace recently at. [inaudible] the loss of trust. [inaudible] you look at the measurement and trust in public. >> yes, terrible. >> all of these years in military precipitous decline. relook at struggles were hard with recruiting maybe that is another indicator system longer and institution people are anxious to join. >> think there are several causes to the decline of trust. it is interesting because it's pretty much across the board of domestic institutions in the united states is due to several factors. but most important one i actually think
