It looks your messages look well thought and not just a emotional outburst. But, I can't accept that Indians do nothing. Maybe among the jobs that use head we are following others. We dont invent, we still run the British designed coaches, which is hell during the summer time. No design changes have been put in, other than changing the body-building material.
But, on the other side. Let us take the case of the Mumbai rains some years ago and the Hurricane Katrina in the US. Mumbai received more rains that in some of the areas, the third floor of a multi-storeyed building was under water. The rainfall in New orleans was much less. Still, the Indian Army did a fantastic job in rescuing people with minimum casualty. Mind you, they have achieved this with almost zero infrastructure of Mumbai. Whereas in New Orleans, there are emergency lanes in almost all the streets and the US army has state of art tools like the speedboats and still they managed a very-poor job.
Take the case of the Indian farmer. With zero infrastructure he is keeping the most of the nation hunger-free. Of course, there are ill-fed people, but those are because of politics and not shortage of grains. Technically speaking, an Indian farmer is very much eligible for a noble prize.
India might now be poor, but just 300-400 years ago, 35% of the world's trade has been from India. -to be continued-
