It took so long for me to post something new, because i was keenly observing things happening in India, finally a topic clicked in my mind and i thought of sharing it with you all.
We all should feel very proud that we are living in the era wherein our country India is undergoing one of its finest and best times in some centuries .I am saying this because of the growth, we are observing in our economy, because India is going to turn into economic power and a power hub for other countries.The Indian economy has recently been notching up some of the highest growth rates in the world. But India’s economic growth is truly a miracle, simply because its economy has followed a completely new path to development, one that has not been followed by any of the late developing economies. “The Indian growth path is unique. That is really scary because we are not following a proven model.”
The first proof towards it is the fight against recession and global slowdown.We boldly fought the downturn and economic meltdown,we were some of the economies which continued to grow and the growth rate was tremendous.
The retail revolution which is going on in India, the telecom boom,the growth in automobile sector wherein the positive news is that country has become the second largest makers of small cars,over taking Brazil and gap with japan narrowing down.
Indian government is also taking some very good moves like of divestment ,listing of its profitable government companies in stock market of India.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh recently sent out a strong message on the need for further economic reform, particularly in the financial sector, and welcomed investment through qualified institutional investors in Indian companies. Stating that the country has been able to withstand the economic downturn, he said a gradual phase-out of the stimulus measures would take place next year.
This is one side of the story and it does not end here, THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION IS
Are we really growing? I really don't feel so ,we are growing in terms of overall growth of our economy but speaking factually we are diminishing and creating a sense of insecurity among our self.
Is growth : terrorism ,naxalism , crime rate ,corruption ,suicides by farmers ,Favoritism to some states on verge of ignoring other states by central govt., fighting for political mileage ,suppressing poor people ,rich getting richer and poor getting poorer, diminishing our culture and values, more cases of old people discarded by their well established children.
Are we boasting about our self for this growth, are we happy with this superficial growth, the hypocrite growth or we are ignoring it as earning money and fame has put a shield on our eyes.
It's very shameful that on one side we talk about growth of India and show people outside India that Indians are very hardworking ,honest and committed to their work and most important thing is follows their values, and on other side we kick people out of our state ,just because they are not from our caste, community, language or creed and most importantly they are poor and they can't fight for their rights,their only motto is to feed their family.
We talk so big about our state and our mother tongue forgetting that whatever we are ,is because of being a part of India ,its combined effort of all Indians that we have a country like India and cities like Delhi,mumbai,Bangalore,Hyderabad and so on.
Its nobodies right to throw somebody out of your state just to gain political mileage out of it. The people whom i am pointing towards is very clear ,i am not taking their name because i don't want to give them undue attention for their deeds.
They teach their kids in best schools and colleges of English medium and after all this talk about local language and common people,if it is so they should even send their kids to the local government or municipality school.This disease is a communicable disease which passes from on from one party to other ,just to be in limelight.This kind of situation and our neutral behavior will act as a major hindrance for growth of our country.
Its high time now, we should not get carried away by the superficial growth, but understand how to grow with our values,with love ,with common goal with equality ,with feelings for common and poor people.
That day i would call that India is really growing when the people who provides us food(farmer) does not commit suicide, when we don't fight on names of caste ,creed, religion, language etc ,the day when all the states come together and get their rights so that they can contribute their part to our lovable country ,when no section of our society gets deprived of something.
Its not so easy to achieve but its all in our hands(we the citizens of India)
""WHERE THERE IS WILL THERE IS A WAY""
