…and that’s why INDIA is the best!

To comment and complain on the innumerable problems around you is one thing. To actually go to other countries and see the reason for their development and then compare the facts with our home country is an eye opener indeed.

Yes I have been to a few places around the world. Recent most a one month trip to US. No doubt US is a wonderful country indeed, but if you see the history and geography and other factors, it is but obvious. In the complete history of United States, not a single war has been fought on their land. They have neighbours like Canada who don’t even drink water without asking US…well not literally but they are very friendly neighbors indeed. US is a humongous country and the population density is not much, only of fraction of what it is in India. Also the fact that it is surrounded by water on 3 sides makes it abundant in water and other natural resources. Yes if you take all this into account it is but obvious that US will develop like it has!

Here’s something you might not know. US is actually like Australia when it comes to native citizens. The original inhabitants of US were called the ‘Red Indians’.Sailors from Europe traveled to America while exploring new lands. All the native Red Indians were killed and the people of US have their great great ancestors, actually from Europe. Read more here if you want. Even we were ruled by the Portuguese and the British, but we fought for our freedom and have achieved Independence. We are the natives of this soil….all our great great grandfathers have been born in this great country.

I am not criticizing US for anything, people who took over the continent have built and developed it like anything. Even India developed under British if you recollect, they have done lots of good for India in terms of technological advancements. But the fact the we have fought for our country is a remarkable achievement….something which may be we don’t  realize and may be don’t value much today!

All the other thing about our great country we all know. We are the best of minds in the world. To give a reference to this, there are mentions of the subatomic particles such as protons, electrons and neutrons in our Vedas which are like thousands of years old. People from India travel west for a better life and people from west come to India to do research on Indian culture.  I met an American guy in my flight, he said he is doing research on Indian culture since over 30 years. He has written several books on it and even his daughter is studying the same in Pune University here. A classic example to exemplify that the world is round indeed….we are going westwards and the west is following the east more and more….many other such things like the yoga which is of Indian origin are very popular there.

If you know me, I am not much of a political nor a religious person.  I always think global…I think myself on more of a broader spectrum of mankind, along with being a very proud Indian. The fact that India has developed so much considering all the constraints like the unbelievable population density….hostile neighbors on all sides…so many wars and terrorist attacks on our country…we still survive…we still stand up and rise…we show the world that the Indian spirit is like no other…that INDIA holds the glory, the culture and the strong fundamentals laid by our great ancestors... and that’s why INDIA is the best!
