INDIA OF MY DREAMS

Who is responsible for all that ails India? What is the India of my dreams?

-My dream of India

-Developed and with 100% literacy

-A country where peace and Harmony  prevails

-A country of scientists- path breaking researches , discoveries and  inventions

-An Industrial and spiritual leader

-Sustainable growth respect for women and farmers

-Concluding sentence

The “I” in India is ‘Me’.  ‘I’ am ‘India’ and ‘India’ is in ‘me’.  Thus, if India, my country, is not doing well in some spheres and is still amongst the developing countries of the world in spite of its man power.  ‘It is we who are responsible for it.’  Dr. Abdul Kalam once asked a little girl, what was her dream for India?  Pat came the reply “I dream of a developed India”.  This impressed him and to be honest this is also ‘my dream.’  I dream of an India where every one is educated, there is employment for all and everyone is satisfied and happy.  I dream of an India, where many scientists are engaged in doing significant researches, an India, which would be known for great scientific and technological advancements, an India where the likes of Tata come up with new inventions, which leaves the whole world amazed, where great minds of the world are guessing as to how the impossible was achieved.  An India, which is a leader not only in making new discoveries/inventions but also spiritual leaders, an India which is clean with an excellent net work of roads and bridges connecting even the remotest parts. An India, where sustainable growth and development go hand in hand.  Every person plants and cares for a minimum of 10 to 20 trees in his life time where wild life is safe from poachers, where man lives in harmony with nature, where no one is afraid of speaking the truth and where there is no corruption.  Women are respected and people from all religions co-exist and where every Indian is proud of being an Indian.  Where people are not afraid of leaving their houses open and there is no crime in the country, everyone is satisfied. 

This is the India of my dream- this is the India in which I want to live. I dream of an India where farmers are respected as much as any other professional, where people are not superstitious, an India which is not only superior in science and technology but also in sports, where we are able to win maximum medals in Olympics and other international games.  This is my India, a great country dominating the international scene, a land of peace, prosperity and plenty.

I am reminded of Rabindranath Tagore Poetry:

“Where the Head is held high

Where the mind is without fear

Into that Heaven of freedom

“O Lord” let my country awake”
