Why our India can never be a developed nation?

2004-08-31T05:24:00.000-07:00

Why the Indian subcontinent can never develop is the question which strikes many a young mind.But its just a passing thought in many our lives without any serious implications and soul searching done on the issue.have any of you Indians thought why we are not able to develop as a nation though many indivuals continue to grow rich and rich by the day.
Many of us would cite the reason that we are just about 57 years old nation.how could we possibly develop in such a short span.common guys lets not forget Japan,Germany China. Japan and germany were literally reduced to ashes during the world war 2 around the time India won her Independence.China was such a backward nation which has now grown into a superpower of such great status that not even the invincible US or the great European Union can utter a word against china.America had enough reasons to aatack a poor nation like Iraq twice because it thought of Iraq as expansionist.What about China's deeds in Tibet and its ambitions to take over Taiwan?America knows it cant wage a war against China for many reasons.
My basic point of citing the above examples is that all these nations and India started afresh at the same time,but we have long lost the race.Infact I may say that now we cant think of even competing against them.We were and we will remain a "Developing nation" till ages.
Why I am being so pessimist many would ask.But I am just being practical.To start with our civilization is now so ingrained with the slave mentallity that we don't even trust our senses untill ofcourse it is westernised.We epitomise the west blindly forgeting the roots.We are a confused race at present.We belong to nowhere and we seem to be going no where.The slave mentallity and the indivual development attitude has led to our country being conquered many a times .I forsee a chinese invasion not very far away,not in the terms of literal warfare but with the economic warfare.
Today even if Indian would be driving around a Mercedes and would keep his surroundings clean and promote his people,but the moment he gets out of his shell he would spit or dirty the surroundings not belonging to him.Thats our mentallity.As long as its not mine i don't care.Wake up guys its someone's who belongs to the same nation as yours.We have being fed with the crab mentallity.The caste system and gender bias though may not be seen today on a larger scale,but it does have its undertones stronger than it ever was.The mentallity stays.how can we help ?Its all in the genes.this provides a strong basis for crab mentallity.If one person goes up in the social ladder there are n number to get him down.Worse still the person at the top wouldn't like to get his fellow mates up there instead he would prefer to bask in his own glory.We have to go by the Japanese principles of collective efforts and high discipline before we could even think of development.There is bias every where,there is negativity everywhere.Why are we being so happy at a few new jobs created owing to the business outsourcing or few new multiplexes coming up in the city.Thats not where the India resides.Still India comprises of 70% agragrian community.They were poor and illiterate and will remain so because there is a concious efforts by our democratically elected leaders to keep them that way for thir own benefits.
We also have the great middle class which is supposed to be the backbone of any economy.But the middle class is being fed with the fear mentallity.You have to be a engineer or doctor.You don't need to react at many things in the society you see.
Untill we get out of these mentallaties and work and play as a race there would be no stopping to the Indian sub continent. i have just one dream and that of seeing my country in the superpower corridors of the world in this life time

Is Human universe better off then the animal kingdom

Have any of us in todays fast paced world thought of where is the human race headed?I guess 90% or more don't even try and think about it.But to me this is a kind of concerning question rather than a very serious one!Why should i think about where the human race is headed or why should i be bothered to think and compare the human race with that of the animals.This is the way people think.
We humans are nurturing a very notion at present and that is of being superior and invinsible and the strongest of the species.We owe it all to the thinking power given to us (courtesy GOD).But mind you ,this brain is going to be sole one responsible for the destruction of human race and the planet earth.The brain is constantly thinking,imagining and doing a million things even when you are asleep.So much work for the poor little thing.The brain has been responsible for mans quest for knowledge and information.Today we can boast of best communication tools ,good medical care and many other things the animals don't possess or cant possess.Still we all are unhappy and we need Gurus for spirtual upliftment,therapist for depression and so many drugs.Man has been responsible for his fate.he may say he has progressed,but to me this is no progress or evolution.I believe there is a cycle for all things occuring in life and the phase experienced by man at present is the last phase of the cycle and that is of destruction.Every thing will start afresh soon.
what makes us think we are better off than animals?I don't think we are better off than them in any respects.we say that animals possess no thinking power,but they are far more superior.as the man thinks more and more,he creates his own rules,he creates his own boundaries and limits himself.The human race boasts of superior medical care.what are we doing by advancing in medical science,we are just creating a weaker race more dependent on drugs.Animal kingdom on the other hand are creating a stronger race by each generation as the weaker one dies his natural death in his surroundings.we also boast of information.But what limit of information is good or enough?To me more the person gets informed,more he gets unhappier.While seeing the condition of people in Africa makes me thank God for my destiny but at the same time seeing the super rich drive in their bmws makes me crave it and thus unhappy.The animal kill only for its food,wheras man kills for his hobby or for power he wages war.how does that makes us superior?man makes weapons for his protection and in turn destroys the people of his race.This unheard of in the animal race.animals mate only for a new off spring of their species.Man mates for his pleasure.
This are just he few of examples which gives us an idea as to where the brain is taking our human race.Just think over and you will see for your self that we were better off when were like all the other animals on the earth.Development has done no good for us nor has the so called evolution of man resulted in any thing significant.
It wont be long before human race will be extinct just like the dodo's but over here the humans themselves will be responsible for it
