Vision for the country
I love my country. It is not a special thing. Everyone loves their country (everyone should love their country). No matter how popular or how big you are, you needs a mother land. I am an Indian and I am proud of it. We have a great culture. The diversity in culture is the most beautiful thing in our country. In August 15, 1947 we got our freedom from the British. They gave us English, they united our nation. In fact all our great leaders emerged during the freedom struggle. We gave Gandhi to the world.
But now I am a little bit desperate. More and more people become poor in this country. According to recent statistics there are 41 crore poor people in India. India is the second largest country in terms of population. People film the poverty in India and bag Oscars against it. Racial unrest eats the very soul of this country. Uneven distribution of wealth is another problem in my country. Terrorism and naxal activities are another.
The gap between the wealthy and the poor is wider so that it will take more time to bridge the gap. In my vision every country needs a road map for development. The fruits of development should reach every individual in this country. In other words they should also develop. Food, shelter and clothing are the basic needs of the man. Government should provide at least the basic needs. India is conducting it’s census now. It will be published in 2011.
Through census we will get an actual state of this country. It is the time. Time to act. Time to think about the 41 crore people (or even more, when the actual figure comes). Now the UPA government is ruling the country. They will complete their tenure in 2014 only. If they wish they can draw a road map to eliminate poverty. They can bring down it to 20 crore or even lesser.
As the young little girl answered to our former president I want to live in a developed India. Politicians kindly act accordingly. Give education (not elementary) to everyone. Even technical education will be good. Act like the citizens of a proud nation. When you love the people in this country you love this country.
