India Shining !!!!. If my memory is good this is the caption used by one of the major parties of India in the previous Parliament Elections. The question is Is India really shining? . The answer for this question is simple but hard.
In my perspective let us believe that India is shining. The stock markets, economists and the industrialists all say that India is the place to invest in. We see lot of MNC investing in India. We see dynamic changes in the life styles of Indians. We see more cars on the roads than 10 yrs ago, only to add to traffic woes. The ratio of cost of living to the salary is inversely varying. The poor are becoming poorer and rich are getting richer. Many talented, educated youth are attracted towards MNC’s neglecting scientific research. Where is this taking us ?. Is India really Shining ?
Then come to sports. Our population is over 100 crores and still we havent put a mark in Olympics. Though necessary steps are taken to revive sports in India, its not sufficient. We have only 2 - 3 tennis players of International standards, condition of Hockey is pathetic
Take Japan for example. A country where there is no agricultural land, 2 atom bombs were dropped on it, and was the worst effected country after the World War. Now Japan is the most happening country in Asia. Its not the case with Japan, Singapore, Mauritius the small neighboring countries are overtaking us in economic growth. Is India really shining?
