60 yrs of unperturbed development, 60 yrs of uncurbed progress,60 yrs of constant growth.....
We have definitely been succesful in converting our country from the land of Maharajas and snake charmers to the land of the so called "services boom", rising GDP figures, MNC's,engineers and doctors.....
Thomas Friedman has said in his book "The world is flat",that if he could visualise the entire world as his neighbourhood, he would perceive India as being a land of engineering and medical colleges who constantly wander into their neighbour USA's territory ,who in turn are host to a number of law colleges..
But is this the only face of India???? Sure ,we are steadily progressing towards Dr A.P.J Kalam's dream of being a developed nation by 2020, but what are we leaving behind?
With a growth rate of 9%, and with our service and manufacturing sectors firing all cylinders, Indian technocrats are earning a name since the y2k episode. Add to that the rising middle class ....but there is more to our country than the above stated facts.
There is still a large population dying of starvation, we are still grappling with infrastructure issues and still fighting the demons of illiteracy.
It is essential that we make the two Indias meet in order to sustain our growth as a poised nation.
Jai Hind....!
