As an NRI, Internet is the source of news about for me. Not a single day passes without someone who is someone says India will be the greatest country in next 50 years or next Century which is pretty safe as at least half of us would not be alive by then. Earlier it was Ancient India was greatest and now next century. What about this century? Don't get me wrong. I am a very patriotic India still clinging to my Indian Passport, regulalry repatriate all my savings and my heart swells with pride looking at these articles.
But how long this false sense of pride? How much are we investing in basic infrastructure, public health and education? Rich and Poor divide is growing every minute. Not to mention the epidemic proportions of corruption and lack of accountability in our political and public admin systems.
You should have a dream to realise it but you should also strive to achieve it.
Five year plans have become a farce and this needs a credible alternative.
Unless we as a Nation have a Common Agenda like we had during our Freedom Struggle, these will remain dreams and our furture generations will be blaming us for missed opportunities.
