India of my dreams

All of us want India to become a respectable supper power in the world. India has a rich past. India is an amazingly beautiful subcontinent that beholds a rich and glorious history that dates back to about 5000 years. The civilization embraces diverse culture, religion, language, beliefs etc. The richness and the beauty of India are showcased in almost everything that is there on the Indian sub-continent. Definitely the rivers, mountains, palaces, forts, wildlife sanctuaries, and vast desert sand dunes are most attractive but surprising legends of heroism, lively towns, and colorful fashion trends also leave a lasting impact on anyone and everyone who visits India.

Unity in diversity is a slogan celebrating co-operation between different groups of people in a single society and socio-ecological philosophy that describes a sense of oneness despite physical or psychological barriers.

The British rulers exploited the country. At the time of independence, the country was in turmoil, its economy had been closed and there was unrest all around. In sixty years since independence, the country has made tremendous progress. However, it is still far behind the developed counties of the world. India of my dreams is a peaceful, progressive, literate country free from the pangs of poverty, where every citizen feels safe and secure, where health facilities are provided to all and where the women of the country are treated with utmost dignity and respect.

It is true that one person cannot  solve all the big problems like removing corruption from society or to educate every child or to fix all broken roads, but One person can still do lot of Small things and if each of this ONE PERSON does these SMALL THINGS, the SUM-TOTAL will be very LARGE. So, the nation must be shaped at its foundation…That is, at the level of YOUTH. And the foundation of youth is shaped with PRIMARY EDUCATION. The youth is taught patriotism, strong leadership & moral values at schools because the growing children are a storehouse of energy. 

We are living in a democratic country.  A democracy is for the people, by the people and of the people.  But our Political leaders of the present are for the rich, by the rich, and of the rich. 70% of people are under the poverty line Rs 20 is their per day income .93% people do not have the proper shelter, sanitation, child care ,education  and so on.

The government has planned and implemented poverty eradication programs, but the benefits of all these programs have yet to reach the core of the country. And we Indians wait for a bright future.
