We suffer from the most irrational of human folly i.e. grandeur. We have too much vanity and too less substance. I find it ridiculous when some morons speak of India being a super power in future when it can not feed even half its population. It will be much better if we give up the idea of being a super power and instead try to feed the millions of hungry children, provide job to the jobless, provide education to the illiterate, get electricity to the dark villages, get water to the remote rural parts. I prefer India to be like some small obscure European nation which may not have the nukes but has plenty of electricity, which may not necessarily produce a Tharoor but will have 100% literacy, may not send mission to the moon but will have job for everyone, may not have a glorious past but has a promising future, may not call the shots on international stage but the can effectively handle any crisis at home.
