The current India is growing India itself, that's why we call it as developing nation. The question is - are we satisfied with the pace at which it is growing? If yes, then we have the solution and we are working on it. If not, then what changes are required to increase the pace?
Well my solution is simple, a nation grows when its people grow, because it’s the people who make a nation, not the other way round. Hence the growth has to come from each individual; each individual has to understand their responsibility and role towards nation’s growth. Every wrong act is wrong, no matter how large or small it may be and it’s the individual who has to stand against wrong and has to stand high for the right.
A nation progresses when each individual understands his own contribution in countries’ GDP. we have such a beautiful example of Japan in front of us, a country beaten down to dust but look at them now, they are among the developed nation. India on the other hand never faced any such tragedy. But to be fare, India has faced bigger ones. Atom bomb happened once in century, India has smaller atom bombs exploding every now and then with different names. A stupid country, smaller than the size of U.P. in all terms be it area, population, economy, etc. has caused more problems per year to us then the number of companies India has registered on sensex every year. How can any Indian forget that one of our beautiful state is under terror attack since 1948?
The actual problem does not stop there, because it starts from inside. The corruption, self centered thinking, and cowardliness (yes it’s a truth Indians are coward people) has pushed India more back than anything else. How can you imagine that when UP, Assam, Bengal get floods every year, we have desert in Rajisthan, drought in AP and Tamil Nadu. Why can’t we combine all the rivers and states together and use the power of free flowing energy. This is the kind of thoughts and work which is required from our nation's countrymen.
The solution lies within us, we as nation has to take decisions some will be hard, some will be shocking but for certain they have to be bold. And that's exactly what our generation has the responsibility for. Our fathers and grandfathers have done their job and it’s time for them to retire and be our guide. But its time for us the generation next to stand make things count.

ReplyDeleteyour reply was good .but you said that it is the people who have to take responsibility to make it the best.do you think these Indians who spit at every street,every corner of the road will realise their responsibility.?these people who are... so narrow minded can ever be a respnsible citizen? if we have to look at overall developement, we have to cover each and every village into account,and do you think that these villagers ,most of them are still illiterate ,will ever be able to realise their responsibility?
another important aspect is corruption . every Indian must be aware of this term and practises it fully .they might be able to fumble while singing national anthem but when it comes to "jugaad",every indian specialises in this aspect.do you think that this will ever disappear from our society? what do you believe the suitable answer for all these questions will be?

ReplyDeleteNice points of observation Dhruv. So now lets see what do you want to say. First of all it all about “these people”, but who are “these people”. I think “these people” are you, I and some others like us hence we. So now since we know whom we want to address to for getting India on higher growth lines, let’s look at what do we do which we need to change. We spit on roads, we are narrow minded, we are illiterate, corrupt and we live on ‘jugaad’.
I guess you already know what I am going to write but still allow me to do that. First is to change ourselves then talk about others. See yourself in how many such activities you contribute, in positive and negative manner. Do you also spit on roads? Do you also get involved in corruption? Do you use any jugaad yourself? And what have you done to get people literate?
You don’t need to answer me but you know the answer. If the change has to come it has to start from within. How can we demand something from others when we don’t do it ourselves? We should set examples, which can lead the way. No body in the world can stop you from thinking big and bright, then why do you think we are narrow minded. Who is narrow minded brother? A farmer, who grows crops every year and still lives below poverty line, is he narrow minded. He has thought much-much bigger than what we do, its because of him that we get to eat our food, its because of him that India is the largest supplier of pulses and grains in the world. He has done much more than we ever can. But yes he cannot talk in English like you, or he does not have a great dressing sense, or he might be getting involved in child marriage or female daughter killing. So what do you think can change all this?
Education is the key to all those issues. Studying arts, science and commerce is not enough, we should also learn our moral duties. It’s our moral duty to keep our country clean. It’s our moral duty not to make our country corrupt. It’s our moral duty to help other.
Poverty is another big enemy of ours and we have to win over it. But this too has solution from education. If we are educated than we can get better jobs and some of us will create some jobs and businesses.
Tell me why you can’t teach someone. You are big enough to teach anyone. You not your servant and their children may be one hour a day. Now what possibly can happen if you do that? Firstly you will loose one hour of your play time. Secondly, that servant will spread the word of mouth that his employer teaches him and his children. Such can be the excitement that in sometime more servants will ask their employer’s to help them in studies. Hence it will gradually decrease the illiteracy rate. Even government has now implemented so many policies like mid-day meal, free primary education, etc. for such people. You can help them in getting in there. Remember to make any policy successful we should have three important factors; people who can take the best benefits from the policy, systems which can sustain the policy and its demands, and the policy makers for can manage all the implementations and monitor the response.
India is a multi lingual secular country. it is the world's largest democratic institution.it is a big nation and this point can be substantiated with the following example.a country where you can find snow at one end ,desert at another,evergreen rain forest on one and beautiful beaches with seas on another, where in world will you find such a complete package?thats why we have to take a lot of care of such a beautiful pearl . this nation is precious to each and every one of us but to save this nation from any harm or danger,we all have to leave our ego behind and raise our voice for the wrong deeds .we have to get up from our comfort zone.
ReplyDeleteSuperb my brother. That's what I said, we have to do it to make it from developing to developed.
