Meree Mitti Mera Dess...
1,147,995,904 and counting, no prizes for guessing
yes its where we stand on our record breaking run towards population burst(Hum dus tak gine ge, bhaag China bhaag)!!!
I Don't know what image the Americans and other western countries must have of India and its people, but if one goes by the Hollywood flicks, one might just find oneself being projected as a snake charmer huddled up near Taj Mahal, praying , whilst Americans save the world from some weird crisis. (Mars Attacks, Armageddon to name a few).As if this were not enough slumdog just one upped our "poor, hungry" India. (Whats up with the Caucasian obsession with poverty anyway!!).
We are the land of Gandhi, we have the tatas, birlas and ambanis, we have graduates getting job offers of 1.44 crores , we have Tata Nano, we have "anulom vilom",we trashed our enemy at the world's highest battleground, In spite of our differences , we click as a nation 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We have 330 million Gods for God's sake(i dont know what in heaven they were upto last year during the Mumbai crisis though,)....
just to conclude and not to pull through, we are not perfect , but have all potential to do good
Jai Bharat

Ya even i agree we gave thw world digit '0'. We gave them geometry and well maybe we r poor but gimme another nation how is as diverse as our and is still surviving ..
ReplyDeleteWho cares what the westerners think anyway? They have more money as of now, so I admit their viewpoint is commercially important (like in the case of SlumD), however everybody else is catching up. About our achievements, I think its prudent that we be proud but also look at the numerous problems we have and not go over the top.
