What is India's main achievement since 1947. List only the good once<<
Is there much to crow about, apropos of India's successes, since it became independent in 1947? The answer is ------ a thumping yes.
Despite the existence of all possible fault-lines in terms of religion,ethnicity,linguistic and what have you,running deep into Indian society,she has remained a single unit.Isn't it extraordinary? Just about a year ago,I happened to read a commentary,by a Pakistani scholar titled " India still intact". I am paraphrasing from my memory.Any error will be entirely mine." Population 800 million Hindus,130 million Muslims,20 million Sikhs,25 millon Christians plus others.All these groups are further subdivided into number of communities.Inspite of all diversities, India,unlike Pakistan,is intact.Why? Because, India is democratic".
Of couse,there are few "separatist" groups, operating within the country--coutsey Muslim barbarians of J&K and Neo-Muslim hoodlums of Assam, led by Arif mia and Parveez mia ( formerly Aurobindo Rajkhowa and Paresh Barua respectivly).But their numbers are few and far between.I am sure, they will be put to sleep in due course of time.
India exports largest number of "human brains", known as "NRI".Here in US,they form a critcal mass,constituting the highest income ethnic group in this country.Having metastasized to whopping 1.7 million today,they have galvanized into a expansionist community,bankrolling US economy by involving themselves in tech-savvy industry,hotel chains,restaurant chains and petty retail stores,dotting USA.
They owe enormously to their motherland.Never mind,some NRIs have a terrible short fuse when it comes to India,being praised.
There are much more to say about India's achievements.I will save them for next time.
