Yes I fully agree with you. India must stop begging west. We must start Joining rivers at the earliest. If we mange to join Rivers as sugested by Our president and the previous governments. We need to beg for help from west.
By joining rivers, 1) India can produce enough electric power to meet all its domestic power demands. even it can export electric energy to neighbours. 2) It can use rivers for transport of goods and passengers thereby oil consumption can be restricted. 3) We can increase food production. Can improve crop management and increase productivity. can syncronise crop patterns in line with demands.
Unfortunately the present government is not doing any thing in this regrds. What it appears by its performance to date, is that it is only selling Intrests to the west. It is not working with vision and foresight.
India can survive and superseed others including the developed west in any field. The present government is very weak in foreighn policy. Its performance to date unsatisfactory in all departments.
