Rajeev's article is very interesting. 1. Makes us think what REALLY is the cause of the development of southern Indian states. 2. Are the southern states REALLY developing faster than rest of India. 3. Is cultural continuity (& education) the root 4 the development visible in the age of globalisation.
The reviews (& replies to reviews) are also interesting. 1. A LOT of us are very interested in the development of our country. 2. A LOT of us like & love our country (& state/language) 3. A good number of reviewers strayed away from focus on development & the probable reasons 4 the development.
My thoughts: We had achieved a lot till 1750, but lost it all (almost). We should acknowledge the past, learn from our own earlier mistakes, go forward. We can do a LOT more when we work together. The story of a group of pegions flying away WITH the hunter's net is not 4 story's sake. It is 4 us to understand & implement.
In entirely acknowledge the diversity we have in our country & in the reviews. And happy that so many are interested in not just self growth, but also in the grouth of our country. If we work together we surely can develop together.
