Sitting back there in Canada and showing your discontent about how you were ashamed of your own motherland is very easy. Man if you have the guts to write something like this, then you should also stand up and be counted. Sitting comfortably outside of the system and shouting that this is bad and that is unreasonable is very easy. Did you ever thought of contributing to this rotten country some of your intellect. I am just a fresher age-23 who got a job of 20,000/- per month, but even from this salary i am supporting education of 3 poor children. Your article is the extent of hypocrisy and shows what sort of a hypocrite you are. If you have the conviction and if you think that you can defend yourself mail me back at navin.tripathi@gmail.com else just remain settled and silent in some foreign land and leave India's development to people like us.

Hey Navin,
If you could only read through the lines yuou would understand rather than be furious. Ravi Bhasker has portrayed in his article his thoughts neither stink of hypocrisy nor of exxageration. You know what his contribution to India is? He is a working pofessional whocearns his own money, an independent and proud Indian. It is good that you earn 20K and you provide schooling to 3 poor children. Do you know what he has or has not done? Before pointing fingers it would be good to know more about the person. Do you have the right to judge the person just from reading the article? Oh..maybe you do have the right but is it a knowledgable and conscious judgement. Wishing you good luck

Hey Shailendra
if u hv read the lines properly u wud have already made out that though this Indian-Ravi, is independent earner....he has devoted his skills to another economy and not India. From his article it does not appear that he is a 'proud indian' as u say.
as far as appears from thge aricle... he is just tring to show the human aspect and its necessity and i am sure that u wudnt fail to agree that fellow Indians did contribute for the ones in distress in the times of Tsunami.
yes we dont know this person so as to give a judgement....but dont u think that he has been too jugemental to leave his Motherland behind?

Hi Deepika,
You said "if u hv read the lines properly u wud have already made out that though this Indian-Ravi, is independent earner....he has devoted his skills to another economy and not India. From his article it does not appear that he is a 'proud indian' as u say."
Yes he has devoted his skills for another economy but that could be because he was looking for greener pastures. A lot of Indians do that and for that matter a lot of people in a lot of countries do that. And from his article it apperas that he may not have been a proud Indian but now he is.
You said "...necessity and i am sure that u wudnt fail to agree that fellow Indians did contribute for the ones in distress in the times of Tsunami."
I am assuming he wasnt talking about financial contributions but more in terms of an utopian society.
You said "...but dont u think that he has been too jugemental to leave his Motherland behind?"
I dont think he was judgemental about India and hence he left. His leaving India I think was most probably like I said earlier i.e for greener pastures. But my question is does that make him an "India hater" or any lesser Indian than you or I? Ravi is utilizing "The freedom of speech" article incorporated in our constitution. To tell you the truth I love his idea of an India who is a superpower with a heart. I hope the Gods have heard and have motioned his thought.

shailendra
that is what i precisely said.....he chose to move out looking at the greener pasture at that point of time......then why sud he cricise.....yes some people here might have attitudes which are hinderances to development....but at the same time there r those who r helping India to move forward...we never say that Indian growth is taking at the potential growth rate.
Tsunami contribution not only refererred to the monetary aspect but the human aspect of the society too. Except for peple working in Public Institutions and MNCs....the self employed that is, were not forced to contribute to this cause....but yes everyone joined hands at the difficult times.
An utopian society can be....and sud be a goal....thats understandable, but it cannot be the means or the starting point.....or a phase in middle of the develpment process. Development might lead to utopian structure.
Ravi appers to have been a proud indian when it shined........before that he he was ashamed and he left for the greener pastures as u put it......and after that has gutts today to give India a direction....in his own utopian way.
I am not against his thought....but i am questioning his crediatability on the grounds of his leaving at the first place.

Hi Deepika,
I am at a loss of words. Anyway you are entitled to your opinion. But I would suggest that you read Ravi's comments. Hope that will erase some of your doubts. Best Wishes Shailendra Chalasani
