India now &then

India was and is rich but the social justice has always been an issue!

Also our tendency to rest on past laurels and not take efforts to preserve what we have in hand has led to increasing poverty! Once upon a time, we had scores of artisans who created masterpieces such as Konark Sun Chariot, Ajant Ellora caves etc. etc. and now it is difficult to get even a single artisan who would do a good job at creating something!

Corruption certainly helped deterioration of our culture!

India has such a huge power to put himself on the top but due to corruption indian are not seen at the top.

You are absolutely correct,Kalyani! Glamorising our glorious past won't help our cause and what we have proved ourselves to be? Their unworthy successors!!

You have summed it up quite correctly, Chinmoy!!

@Kalyani

Our history records the reigns of some kings who were more caring and conscientious than our presentday democratic rulers who at times behave like tin-pot despots!!!

we sholud develop our country we are hearing right from our childhood that india is an developing country........

There is lack of unity among our country men itself and we fight for petty things."Change" is the only thing which will make us prosper.I mean change in mind set,change in goals,change in politics,change in education etc..

All invaders to India came due to the richness of India and all of them exploited it well.

Our biggest problem is that we believe more on others than we do on ourselves. This has drowned India always.

We need to take a lesson indeed from our ancestors and illustrious kings who believed the greatest values for our existence were a person's moral, legal and good deeds!

Shivaji Maharaj for instance did not spare corrupt, immoral and traitorous people and punished them severely whereas our current day judiial system lets such people go scott free!

I think all the foreigners came to India for exploiting its wealth.

I liked Kalyani's reply. the judicial process in India is very slow encouraging culprits.

if the poverty is reduced and stop encouraging people who are corrupted.then India will be developed in to great and great country.

Certainly India is now much more devloped than it was before independence . If we see good aspects We are living in the best country in the world.

you are right monalisa, but India should become more forward and well developed country than united states.So that no one goto US for further studies or anything.

We can regain what we have lost after rulling by the Britishers in a very small time if there is even a little check on corruption.

dont let others to exploit it.........................................
