First of all, a pat on the back is in order for reaching the venerable age of 63. This in spite of the fact that we are surrounded by specious countries which are democratic or trying to be, which do not generally have a favourable opinion of India. But, it also helps that we are were pretty domineering.
In our 62 years as a democratic nation, we have reached astounding heights achieved the unthinkable, did the impossible in very diverse but interlinked fields like science And technology, agriculture, political reforms, judiciary, business, industries, export, roadways, defence, research and development, and on and on….
India in spite of being one of the newer countries on the world map, just 63 years old and yet placed its indelible mark in varied ways amongst the hallowed names of countries which are enjoying their freedom for a relatively longer time.
Yes, we do have a lot to improve, we need to shore up in all respects mentioned above and some more. But this is not the time to crib, this is the time to rejoice. Rejoice in the glory that is India. And all it’s gifts: innumerable that they are, make us feel very proud to be proud to be part of the nation that is going to usher the world in the next wave of techno and economical boom.
