We will never be a great nation because..

We do not have courage to stand up against corruption. We have lost everything we had because we were living as slaves for last 700 years. The Basic infrastructure for knowledge transfer through the Guru-Shisya Parampara was cut down by the Moguls. All our wealth were looted by British. We lost both Knowledge and Wealth which are the key factors to be a leading nation.

The British has injected the poison of 'divide and rule' concept to the upper caste people who were controlling the masses. This has created lot of hatred and divisions within sects. Too many divisions is a bottleneck for development.

The current government also follows the same divide and rule policy. They will not allow the Hindus, Muslims and Christians to unite. Without Unity we can never become a great country. We will be still working as a modern slaves to Western Organizations. We need a great young leader with a vision for India. I am hoping such a leader will come soon and liberate us, until then we need to keep moving the wheel of development in slow pace.

Jai Hind...

Ram, Your points are well taken, but we have to come out of this excuses. World have changed since then. Major problem is Indians have to be more patriotic. Carrying RED FLAG(communist)and screaming slogans not going to help to build a nation. Look at our Asian brother, Japan, only nation on earth took the nuclear hit in history.Look at them now . it is a economic power house. How? Hard work & Patriotism. Ofcourse they got huge finacial help from the US. But Hard work put Japan as second economic power in the world. They have all kinds of Western investment. What is wrong in that? That make you slave? These kinds of narrow menatality and misunderstanding is not going to help to build a nation like India.
