as a future superpower and its growing economy
but when i walk down the street, i find india a very poor country
where people are dying out of hunger, sickness, lack of medical treatment and so on.
where there is no respect for human life
where there is corruption every where
the list is big and every indian knows it
but this big list is not a surprise to me
the real shock to me is that no one is hitting the nail
why india is like that???
why can’t india takes its past glory in religion, science, arts and in aesthetic sense
i contemplated over this issue and i found three main reasons for it.
reasons for poverty of india:
1. first burning issue is exploding population
no matter how fast we make roads, bridges, hospitals, schools and houses
our population is going to grow faster than the infrastructure we can produce
so all our new development will be overshadowed by ever increasing population
so the mantra is to stop the population increase
and at the same time focus on increasing infrastructure
only countries which are small in population are rich
or has the possibility to be rich
can you give me the name of one country
which is big in population and yet is rich
that is the way things are
its always a pyramid approach
at the top of the hill only few people can stand
if you want to see india as an rich and prosperous country
then you have to cut the population so as to produce the best citizens
think about this:
suppose by a miracle, india population is reduce to half in next hour
then do we have enough schools, hospitals, roads, houses for our ctizens?
i don’t need to answer this question
as i know you are smart enough
otherwise you won’t be reading this article
and instead will choose to spend time in facebook, cinema or iphone
2. second big reason for poverty in india is because of spirituality
normal indian don’t take the responsibility for their present state of life
either we put the blame on bad karmas and escape
or we pray to god for everything we desire and thus put the responsibility on god
but what we don’t do is to take the charge and try to change the situation
unfortunately india is a ancient country with a big spiritual heritage
which has made us more tolerant and patience
we have the habit of accepting everything
we are as such passive people who knows “this too will pass”
we know everything in life transient so why bother to make change
as per gautam buddha philosophy only thing that is permanent is “change”
no need to speak more on indian spiritual spirit
as we can find intellectuals, philosphers and spiritual gurus
in every nook and corner of the street… even in tea stalls
lastly, the third reason for our poverty is the lack of action from good people
i always put more blame on lack of action from good people
than on the harm done by bad people
if sun shines then where will you find the darkness
if good people start acting then you will find the corrupt people behind the bars
so the only hope i have
is that the intelligentsia of india must change its ways
and do something for this ancient beautiful country
the only hope i have about india prosperity is from the intelligent people of india
they have to act and stand together
they should be the one who should be making decisions
for this country whom i am proud of
are you proud of your country?
do you think you are intelligent?
if yes, than do something for your country
