I Don't Agree...
RK Ji,
While I agree with you about feeling positive and all that we do to motivate people, I don't quite agree on the issue that everyone in the world is calling us great. I will consider my country great only when the tears of the poorest of the poor are taken care of. Remember Mahatma Gandhi? I am not ready to believe all these statements, most of them with double, hidden and sinister meaning by these intellectuals of the West about the greatness of our country. I am ready to be leaning towards a bit of pessimism rather than be overly optimistic.
Having served the nation, in my own humble way as as a soldier, I do understand and rather clearly the psychological games the white race plays. India will never be a super power just because the Western world accepts us as one. Even China has a long way to go before they too become a truly great nation. High time they stop gangs sponsored by the builders from forcibly removing villagers from their agricultural land, stop forcible abortions in the villages that are far away from the media glare and treat Tibetians with honor and respect.
A poor man's stomach can be filled only by two square meals a day and not by telling him how India is now being accepted as a world power by the so called powerful nations. Agar kisi bhooke JAT ko bol diya to sar phood dega!!
While we have wasted one full week on the Ganguly - Chappel debate, our politicians have no time to bother about the internal dangers staring in our faces. I too am very much an Indian and hope that we become a great nation, so great that our Defence Minister is not humiliated on an American airport.
Iran has already spoken out on what it felt by India's actions. I am sure Iran is feeling as though it has been stabbed in the back by a friend. Et Tu India...
