What a superb , well thought, balances and truthfully analytic portrayal of ourselves. People across the whole Political, Social and Cultural spectrum of Indian society ought to read this and draw inspiration from the pearls of wisdom which are thrown here as a challenge to Indians one and all to look deeply into ourselves and instead of basking in false glory of what we consider to be our superiority, consider our folly instead and act now to reverse the trend. We should venture out seeking innovations in Science, Medicine, Engineering and all other fields applying them to better our lives, ridding ourselves of antiquated customs and superstitions which are constantly pushing us down and embrace modern Western ideas if we are ever to emerge as a World Power. China is Growing faster than ever and will soon be a dominant force in world affairs. The Chinese are already looking forward towards an even more sustained and prosperous future by investing in energy, and commodities not only internally but internationally with a view to guaranteeing their future growth, while we in India continue destruction of our environment and exporting our Iron Ore and other commodities to China. Why cannot we utilize these ourselves and ensure our own Growth. Selfishness Corruption and Greed are consuming us wholesale and this will lead to the destruction of India and may lead in future to the invasion of India by China who will see no obstacles in their way. Our Indian Army cannot even get enough recruits to fulfill its current commitments do you think that if we continue on this current course, we will have enough to defend ourselves in the future?
