What great changes have occured in the new Millenium?

[quote]In a new millenium india become the superpower in every aspect of field and achieve their goal. [/quote]

We are still along way from our goals, come think of it, which are not even clearly defined by our leaders! The new millennium in India has only seen corruption and more and more increase in its magnitude and scale!

India now lack an efficient leader and his assistants who can lead us from front. All are busy in their own activities. It is not easy to guide this second most populated country of the world. Yet, we can hope such a day with arise with new hopes and dreams to be fulfilled!

[quote]A period of 12 years- Is there any term in English? [/quote]

You may be referring to what is called a Tapa (a period of 12 years) in Sanskrit language. There is no term in English for that.

It is called 'Vyaazhavattom' in Malayalam. Perhaps I might have read the word 'Tapa' somewhere.

I think another aspect which needs highlighting is the kind of dehumanization process which our so-called progress and development have brought in.Our intimate interface with machine-driven technology is implanting a kind of robot in us.We have become impervious to the misery and sorrow of our fellow human beings. What do you say?

I agree! We have become more materialistic than ever before! All we highly value now is shining glitzy malls, multiplexes, cars rather than pleasing nature and intelligent humanity!

To gain something, we have to loss something. Yes, it is a truth that, for a past decade or so, we are more dependent on machines than humans. But to initiate machine power, some manual power is also necessary. It has created opportunities also,in a highly populated country, particularly in IT field. Also, it is not an easy task to do all operations manually when requirements are increasing.

As I have mentioned in my first post that IT revolution has indeed revolutionised our very view and outlook but here we have to accept that some seamy sides have already appeared.Our earlier view of this planet possessing infinite scale of resources has proved erroneous with remote-sensing sending chilling images of disappearing forests and polluted seas and rivers!IT can at best be a tool not a panacea to all our basic problems!

I got the answer from one of my Malayali friends.

We can term 'Vyazhavattom' in English as 'Jupiter year'
Vyazham in Malayalam means Jupiter and it takes 12 earth years for Jupiter to complete one revolution. So 12 earth years can be termed as 1 Jupiter year.

I agree! Dependency on machines has helped relieve some physical stresses and hard labour but it has alienated us from some very basic and fine human feelings and touch with others. It has made us insensitive. what used to be the means to some finer things, has now become the goal, eg. money and money alone, rules!

Every millenium throws up opportunities and problems and it is a different world with 700 plus human beings and still growing! The very number is mind-boggling and they have to be fed,clothed,educated and settled in life. This very task is proving to be gargantuan one for every geovernment of the world and challenges of this millenium!

People need their work to be done very quick,easily and remains effective for long time and this has become possible due to different technologies coming into existance.
More and more changes we are going to see in the coming days.

every year we are improving in our life style and way of living is getting changes each day. we are improving our life style based on the technology we are developing. there are lot of new technologies are inventing day by day to minimize human work. on one site it is positive and on another side it is negative.

About the great change in new Millenium is that pakistan and india become a close friends.

I am copying the same content that I posted 1 week before...because no one comment about it
