Kalamji, as a scientist, is among the greatest men lived in India. The nation would not have been so strong in defence without him. His whole life was dedicated for the nation. But his visions of developed India 2020 (as Ex-President or a statesman) needs much elaboration
What is mean by a developed country? To become a country like United States having 5% of world’s population spending 35% of worlds oil and energy for their luxuries? (In spite of all, are the American secured and happier than rest of the world?) Or a country of mere GDP growth and share Index? Or a country where all people living in cities and apartments with Cars and air conditioners? In that case, we are not going to be a developed country in 2020. Never!
Or should we go for a simpler version of development? If development is having clean air to breath, clean food and water for healthy living without luxury hospitals, feeling security of future and happiness and people using their mind for creative/artistic/sports/literature activities, then what we lack today in India? We have enough food, raw materials and technologies today. Why should we wait up to 2020?
What we need is first is to learn to live with Indian realities. We have fully ignored Gandhiji and his principles of life (congress first). Today, we are selling our nation to ruthless Corporate-giants, who will crush and trap every Indian breathless in their debt-locks and exile all poor-for-no-fault-of-theirs from our society. Toda
