Where do we go from here? Is India truly progressing? Are we truly united?

      Whats happening to this country??? The world has entered a new century, we have progressed so far that we can even think of a manned mission to mars., yet why is it that our country still has irrational n orthodox beliefs about a lot of things. Human lives are just not important to people, all they care abt is their language, their state, their race, their comforts, their materialistic things. Mumbai has been witnessing a time travel. We are going back in time, where people from different backgrounds are still fighting to make a stronghold. Where are we headed??????????
      We have had more than 60 years of independance & yet we are still having the same internal squabbles.
We are a nation of potential n power n intelligent people. Why are we still lagging behind countries that are so weak that they depend on money to bully people. Americans keep shouting unfair when indian techies keep replacing their jobs.. Why isnt it that the govt of india take a stance against this kind of racism.. ]
     The americans call themselves a free country, but they too have thoughts that bind them to the old world.
It is the biggest capitalist country, Yet they fail to understand the basic principles of capitalism, " Survival of the Fittest & Richest "  We are not trying to take over their country.. What they dont realise is that every job that an indian holds there,7-8 people's lives are influenced  by his success or work. In a country of a billion people isnt it hard for a developing country to get jobs for everybody...  
     But this is all crap. Whats important is that we Indians should stand together n support each other instead of crying n fighting over petty differences. We have the same blood, same colour, same gene pool, the Aryans & the Dravids. All of us face the same kind of racism abroad, then why is it that we still think we are different from each other..  It is good to recongnise each others values, beliefs, ideas, traditions, coz it is only those things that can unite us.. If we want to... !!!  This is discussion is started with the idea that people will post their thoughts n start concluding & understanding that they really are not that different, n all that is needed is an effort to make things rite.. 
     What do u think needs to be done in this hour of weakness, confusion, chaos that hangs over our country???????

Kunal,

I applaud your feelings.  Indians make up 1/6th of humanity.  Do you expect them to suddenly forget all emotions and become nice and friendly to each other.  Has there been any other time in human history where people lived like that?

Times are different. We are not in the dark ages anymore. We have bigger problems facing mankind than these petty differences. We shall face extinction pretty soon the way the world is going on. Pollution, shortage of fuel, consequently famine,ecological disasters, u name it. Dont u think its about time people changed? This ruckus abt my city, your language, your country, developing country n developed countries, your religion n my traditions is just a miniscule problem we face, that 2 created by us!! Is it 2 hard for people to understand? I question the basis of human understanding & rationlity in the 21st century. We still live in the dark ages & nobody wants to do anything about it. Kudos!!!

"Whats happening to this country??? 
Since you are in Mumbai, I assume you are talking about India. India has had a great deal of success but the failures of the past continues to haunt the country. When visiting India, Bill Clinton praised India's success in the IT field, and he reminded people that many people there still don't access to basic essentials like water. Progressive country start with progressive minds. There are not enough of them in India. Do you know anything about governments at district levels in India?? They are simply horrible. Ask your friends in America to compare them with County governments in America.


"Americans keep shouting unfair when indian techies keep replacing their jobs.. Why isnt it that the govt of india take a stance against this kind of racism.."

Americans are shouting because after spending $30k-$40k to get their CS degrees, they are facing unfair competition from foreigners. I am all for H1B program if it was implemented as originally planned/intended. But we all know the program has been abused at the expense of the natives. 
As for Indian govt. standing up against racism, you have got to be kidding. They can't even take care of Indians living in India, let alone NRIs.

quite true...
In the past i used to blame political parties. But as grow up as experienced i found , it is everywhere and  political parties just dance on the chance. It is in the mind of people. We ourselves are so inscure.  
For me such progress does not matter. In this, after sometime u find yourself  all alone. your nature turned to be more anguish , full of agony and other anxieties. And what is the consequece ? U feel yourself at the same position where u had started. So where is the progress ? For me progress mean not only with economic but also with human development. That is lacking in indians. We, the largest demodracy , still on the same rock . 
And it is very disheartening.

Smriti. Who do u think elects these political parties? Us! Who do u think gives them so much power? Us! Who do u think they represent ? Us!!! They are a true representation of the people of India. It is the same uncaring attitude that we show that is being reflected in them.. It is we who do not care what these parties do... Things dont change in a day. We are talking of changing things which have remained as they are for decades!!! Do u think they are gonna change so easily.
We need to create more awarness, we need to spread the word. If we who do understand give up, how in the world do u imagine the average person to continue. This is our country. If we want things to change, we have to change first. We still fight for castes n categories n quotas!!! Does education need quotas..? Does govt jobs need quotas? No they dont.
   But they still exist. If the govt wishes to give the minority a concession, then they should not spoon feed them.They shd help them study, pay for their fees, but reserving seats for them is absolutely rubbish. They shd show that they are truly worthy of the seat that they get. 
  This is just a small example. Our soceity needs to change. N nobody or no political party can do it unless we ourselves do something abt it. 
   U need not be aggresive, but every miniscule step that u take, counts in the big picture. That my friend is the idea!!!

From here we go straight for 20 kms then turn left and go 6.5 kms. Go 13.5 kms more and make a left turn. At exactly 20 kms, make another left. If we keep going, we may end up where we started.
What we need are basic things first - roads, water, food, shelter, electricity, health care, education.
