INDIA shining while politicians speaking(sleeping)!!

With politicians at both the centre and state making chaos and un-smart beggary for votes, comments on sri-lanka-LTTE issue, fasting for the same.. a question arose in my mind!!

Who s an ideal leader??

I was taught from my childhood that INDIA s a land of diverse culture, attitude and everything nice..

All that is fine.. but why is it that only in INDIA there is just too much 'politics' about everything. so many developmental plans that came across in the recent years were put away due to poor or bad politics.

Tata- Nano had created a worldwide buzz and Singur had suddenly come into the limelight and many thought that it would be a great milestone cross-over for corporate INDIA. But the shortsightedness of Mamata ensured that Singur would remain as obscure as it was before Tata expressed their intention to establish the Nano factory there.

Their intentions are clear that they only seek political and personal benefit at the expense of poor farmers. And they have used thousands of farmers for their petty benefits.

Does india need a headlines like this??

Tata Motors' exit from West Bengal state after protests against a factory for its low-cost Nano car is a sign companies investing in India will need to pay heed to state politics and villagers in the large, complicated democracy. – IBN live

Ratan Tata’s commitment to the whole world was at stake.

Next was the big IPL drama..

The controversial talks aimed at Narendra modi and Arun Jaitley  by P.Chidambaram clearly shows that cricket was not the big issue neither was security for the shifting of IPL to S.A. Considering the big hit of IPL-08, a cricket crazy country like INDIA should have bagged the immediate opportunity.

Lalit Modi had to play politics as well if he wanted to create the ‘big daddy of all entertainment’.

Recently, Lalganj in Rai Bareli,was chosen for a massive rail coach factory, only because it falls under the parliamentary constituency of Sonia Gandhi, the chairperson of the UPA. It is estimated that this Rs 1000-crore project would have created 11 thousands direct jobs and many fold indirect jobs. The project has the capacity to change the entire landscape of this area. Petty politics had played a spoilsport here as well and the project has been stalled for a while.

It is evident that national development has always been a slow process in INDIA. 

Who can change the system??

‘Men with power’ can be categorized into two, those who say:

1). I want personal gain, I’l talk, talk and INDIA is a spectator.

2). I need results.

Result is what the new generation expects. Leaders of corporate INDIA provide us just that.

Ratan Tata shifted the Nano plant to the welcome hands of Gujrat; this plan was taken over night and so was the IPL shift to S.A.

Its upto us to choose a path for the future, choose the apt leader.

Priyanka Gandhi said that the task of choosing an ideal leader is everyone’s responsibility.

"It is the voter who has the power to bring a change. Neither a party nor a politician has this power," she said.

We need this awareness not just for the elections 09’. We need to set a path for a result oriented nation: results for the people of the nation.

Cost Of Westernization!

We have always wanted to travel west haven’t we.. if America does it then it has to be better! This attitude of self suppressing and blindly following the west has led INDIA on a downward journey since 1947. Yes when someone has set a standard by achieving some goals u have to learn and implement his strategy. We have to learn and implement and not blindly follow.

We trust any product just because it has the name “made in U.S.A” or “made in china” in it; we trust them so blindly that the future makers of any product will flash the label “not made in INDIA”!!

This concept of westernization has its roots deep within almost every state in INDIA.

Almost every individual over 16 of age has a snazzy mobile.

50% of the families own a car.

Youth and pub has become an integral concept, night-outs a common phenomenon.

Huge malls across the city with all kinds of designer outfits.. branded footwear, underwear...

Mad rush for IT sector jobs..

This may be development for some individuals.. while INDIA will still be a developing country by the year 2050.

The term developing country as described in Wikipedia –

A developing country is a country that has low standards of democratic governments, industrialization, social programs, and human rights guarantees that are yet to develop to those met in the west. It is often a term used to describe a nation with a low level of material wellbeing.

With cities like Bangalore, Mumbai, Cochin.. with roads filled with luxury cars and roadsides with big malls.. yet we are in a country that has low standards of living???

Yes we are still a developing country. In order for a nation to develop, We must develop the standard of living of the population from the bottom up.

Microsoft’s mission from when I was a young kid — a computer on every desk and in every home. That mission, of course, had an implicit suffix of “…running Microsoft software”. 

Bill Gates wanted to achieve his mission not by quantity but by quality. Microsoft has been constantly updating its products every day.

While in Tamil Nadu, the present chief minister had declared in his election manifesto that he would offer free television sets to almost everyone across T.N. he also went to the extent of successfully distributing 21.09 lakh sets till date. This process is nothing but misuse of millions of tax payer’s money for personal gain. As a thoughtful leader he must have devised strategies to make the 21.09 lakh people capable of buying a television set on their own. He could have given government jobs for these 21.09 lakh people. Or set up small scale industries employing quarter of these people.  

People may argue that we are progressing. Our progress is not strong and unanimous. We may justify our growth in IT and aeronautical sectors. These developments will increase the pride of our nation among international communities but won't fill the stomach of the masses who are still below the poverty line. We should attain an universal growth. Our Government, politicians and people should work hard to narrow down the gap between rich and poor. There won't be any progress without giving attention to socio-economic imbalances.

Where do we lose our track??

Westernization..
