On 61st year of independence and having lived in this nation for the last 40 years i think i owe it to its leaders Corrupt , criminals , castiest , funadamental what ever we may call them they have been able to move this nation a long way. Wilson churchill strongly believed a country so divided on caste and relegious lines can not stand the test of time and existance. Indians like vivekandana and tagore were also sceptic. Today we stand at the helm of global reputation as one of the only 5 counties in the world which grew as emerging Nations of the few 100 countries that were set free after the second world war. A nation whcih did not have a own stell plant in 1947 today have some of the biggest steel gaints A nation which did not know how to make a Car toaday have guuts to aquire some ikon brands A nation which transported most of its goods in bullokcards as early as 1940's today ... A whcih dint have an Aeroplane till 1950 .... Kudos of the collective leadership of this Nation dfor we are here
