India Rising
by SikhPride on Sep 02, 2007 08:08 PM   Permalink

We take it for granted that our country should have been like America by now. Our leaders have done nothing. But we forget that in 1947 india had :
50 million refugees from partition.
communal & regional violence all over.
we had no infrastructure, industry, educational system.
we had no food.
No root for Democracy.
No Constitution.

But thanks to all our leader from Gandhi, Nehru, patel, Advani, Indira, Vajpayee, Ambedkar, Indian Enterpreners, Indian defence people & scientific community

We have all of above now.
We became self suffucient in food grains in first 20yrs of independence.
We had IITs, IISC, IIM, Recs, ISRO etc in first 20 yrs.
Huge steel plants, dams, roads were built soon after independence.
We opened market in late eighties and r now regarded as fastest growing economis.

America or Europe took more than 100yr to have mature democracy and economy. Our Leaders & our people did very very good job in 60 yrs.

Lot has to be still achieved, but let us salute our leaders, enterpreners, scientists and defence people and not always curse them for doing nothing.
