india da real picture

powerful new images have emerged of india in da last decade or so, fed mostly due to its success in da information technology an offshore call centres,.... not to mention da growing reach of bollywood, mostly popularised by da success of indian communites abroad....
n also let us not 4 get about indiaz much analysed n talked bout nuclear programme..[wich was first openly declared in 1998...actually started in da 70s]..
but these new images can also mislead.. it is true dat da indian economy is growin at a good rate, but not so much so as it is being portrayed...
v can say dat it is changin compared to da previous standards..
many a times da nature n scope of changes are exaggerated....
i can go on to say dat v hav got urselves in a habbit of counting our chickens b4 the hatch....
in recent years it has become a commonplace in india to talk of da country as being on the verge of superpower status.....
is dat really where v stand today?..
i'm no being cynical here, but my only concern is to provide an unsentimental evaluation of contemporary india against da backdrop of its widely expected ascent to superpowerdom in da 21st century..

there is a difference between being a pessimist and being
realistic and hence these word should not be confused.. just because something
is growing that doesnt imply that it will grow in the future or will be hassle
free.

developments should never be followed by over confidence.

we can very well conclude that india
has developed as a nation but the very meaning of development has an acute
tendency to get relative. what is a development for one sector may very well
prove disastrous for the other. the sardar sarovar dam controversy
will be an apt example. people who advocate that 'to gain something we
have to loose something' seriously miss an important point:this rule maybe
golden at an individual level but when that haapens in a nation , that cannot
be called 'development'.... it is what i would say unfair. especially when one person is only gaining and the other is losing... without any say of his.

bollywood becoming global is not not gonna help a farmer wh has suffered from
an acute drought. and when it comes to the famous call centre culture, i would
like to get lil personal on this thing: the salary of an indian who works in a
call centre is

several times less than what people in abroad get. also the working hours are
not so harsh.

call centres are erupting in india
and the chief reason is that 'labour in india is cheap'. there is no
counter arguments for that. also since it has become an easiest way to earn
money in grands, that too without any specialized education youth is driven
towards it. hence no development when it comes to this sector. all ths is just
a minute part of what is called 'neo imperialism.'

what india
has acheived in 50 years of independence is in no way insignificant. i mean
after 50 years of its independene america was too busy in killing red
indians and abducting land.

india
is growing no doubt but we should not be blinded by the term 'growth'
itself. cause that is a narrow minded approach which is very dangerous. India has lot,
lot more to accomplish….. and anyone who states this fact is not a pessimist
and in no way complaining.
