India Rising
Is India intensifying and escalating to the zenith?
That’s a million dollar question to be answered with a prudent analysis of the pros and cons of the topic.
The fact can’t be denied ! India’s rise is remarkable !
Remarkable? In what way?
Remarkable in the way that Indian economy has registered a highly impressive growth with a steep rise in GDP to 8.4 percent for the year 2005-2006.
Remarkable in the way that India is making itself known in the Global arena.
Great ! I am proud to be an Indian !
Well, let’s look at the darker side of the story.
India is a land of varied culture and heritage. In short, it is a land of ‘Unity in Diversity’. But what I see is a land that’s been internally fragmented into two - one that is well groomed and properly nurtured belongs to the rich and the other that is neglected and is a result of sheer apathy and corruption belongs to the poor.
A Yin-Yang may be !
What a pity !
Where are our Elected Representatives? Where are our apathetic and self-centered comrades? Where are we?
India houses the poorest of the poor and the worst corrupted of the corrupt. Yet, the fact can’t be denied. India is rising ! It’s rise has been one sided and biased.
You call a country to be fully developed only when there is development in all quarters. But that seems to be totally misunderstood.
An Argumentative Indian would squabble about this. He who looks at a half-empty glass of water as a half-filled one is truly optimistic.
Does the argument go well when it comes to Development? One might be complacent with the way India has been progressing in select few areas, but there are lots of other areas where we are lagging behind. Let us give it a thought !
Remember, the other side is in complete darkness.
An optimist invented an Aeroplane. A pessimist invented a parachute.
Well, I am an Argumentative Indian too because I squabble a lot about my other India !
Let us all take after Buddha(enlighten ourselves !) and begin our illumination process.
