Firstly I would like to comment on the issue of India being mocked for CWG, and wastage of money. It has been the opposite. The foreign delegates have been pleased by the way India has organized the event. Otherwise why has been India called ready for the next Olympics?Many players have reapplied for backing out earlier, seeing the way the games are going. The event has been given a thumbs up by everyone. Our media gave a negative coverage to it before it began, now it has been snubbed. The money which has been spent on the games is not sheer waste. These kind of events are important for international integration and the money raised in them will be used for the betterment of our country only. Delhi has got a new look now. And such good events will be appreciated by our future generations also, its not that only our past has been glorious. By these things,we are making our present better,a strong base for the future.
And good that communal backlash was reverted in the Babri verdict. Riots,curfews would not solve the matter at all.
Unscruplous elements are found in every country, but we always overshadow the good qualities in surplus. Please answer my question, friends. Why have we caught hold of a few cases in the country in which were a failure, or evils which had been on the increase? Why do not we appreciate the fact that if 20% have been a failure,80%have been a success? Why do not we stand up and be a part of the measures that are really getting implemented and need more people like us? Statistics say that female foeticide is now under control in states like Punjab, Haryana etc.Should we not be proud that India is considered to be an emerging superpower of the world?Be it technology,economy or any other area we have inculcated the knack to master all.With the GDP growth touching whopping levels of 9% per annum and a booming sensex the economy seems to be growing at an unprecedented rate. There has been considerable development on the social front as well.The literacy rate has improved significantly with almost three-fourth of the population considered literate now.Health facilities have improved both in terms of infrastructure as well as in terms of skilled personnel.Life expectancy at birth is almost 62 years now.Unemployment levels have gone down and thus has the poverty level.Schemes such has the 'JAWAHAR GRAM SAMRIDHI YOJANA','INDIRA AWAS YOJANA','INTEGRATED CHILD DEVELOPMENT SCHEME','MID-DAY MEALS AT SCHOOL' have helped to create a pool of opportunities for the rural people and has also motivated them to take part in the development process of the country. In the field of science and technology as well as in the industrial arena we have attained great heights.Indian space research is already on the verge of entering an elite group with 'Chandrayaan',India's lunar mission already on the cards.The Indian business houses have started to rule the world.With the growing spate of international acquisitions by India's biz houses,the world seems to be feeling the strength of Indian industry. Today an Indian can proudly say that my country provides me opportunities to pursue what i want which was indeed a rare spectacle some 20 years back.Today India's opinion is of considerable signifance on all the burning issues that the world faces today.India is looked upon with reverence by the arrogant west and we are a source of inspiration for the developing world. Our achievements have been exemplary over the last sixty years.We are the free citizens of an independent, sovereign country.
Tell me friends, should we not be proud?
