RE:WILL WE BECOME A SUPERPOWER IN 2010 - Sunil
by nadia sani on Feb 06, 2007 04:56 AM

Here here! Only I do not agree that "Indians" being cruel, poor or cannibals.Indians is used to represent indigenous people as opposed to the settlers and colonizing populations. Those people had their own cultures, were civilized and none were cannibals, food being readily available.The aborigines are Dravidians who fled the country when the Aryans and other invaders entered Bharath pressing them further south and finally out of their country.
Bharath is now a nation of "poor" growing poorer by the day.We may have a million mobile phones and IT companies, but the truth is we are still slaves to the white. Our culture has become stagnant and is dying. Noone speaks their mother tongue or learns it at school. We have forgotten our dress, our rituals and festivals, not to talk of food.
We gladly sell our country for a few words of insincere praise from a white man.They are free to settle anywhere in India but we cannot even visit their country. No one complains.
As for our government if there is no accountability among public servants, there will never be a "superpower".We are clueless as far as having an original opinion is concerned on any matters in the world. India never takes a stand.Can't.Because the people who run the country have always danced this way and that to make money. Honesty and sincerity and real thinking do not figure among the rulers, politicians or even the educated. We are the only country with 2 million graduates a year who have NEVER done one piece of original work. They have simply swallowed teachers' words and vomited the same. Otherwise can we have a country with more than half the population without basic services like water, toilets and food? The sun burns our fields but no one thinks of solar energy to power irrigation sistems for fields, doemstic energy or wind power. Crores of rupees went into some stupid gobar gas project that was simply an eyewash to swallow money.
Rural development projects are thrown out of the window because the rural populations if ignorant will continue to vote the ruling politicians.
The poor will try to take advantage of you exactly like the man next to you in any office. How can we even dream of being a superpower when 1% dreams of designer clothes and the other 99% dreams of survival?
Educatin is to teach people that they must stand for what they believe in whether it is popular or not, forget caste, think of dignity and give human life its true value.Courage and conviction are lacking. Will the coming generations learn this?
