Politics, Population, Low Literacy Not Responsible For India Still Undeveloped

Following is excerpt from thread "When will India become a developed country" from Crazy Engineers

It doesn't matter how much corruption is there, it doesn't matter how much population we are having and even this doesn't matter that we don't have above 60% literacy. Even after having these drawbacks a country can develop, because a country develops just because of minds of people and not by above things.

A mind of person decides how he want to progress in same manner if all people in country will think and act for progress then only country can progress, one man is not going to change anything that happens only in movies.

India is place of people, who start pulling legs of people who really strive for progress. Feels bad but true. There are several examples.

1.In India we make movies only on Love stories no other story in movie you will get and no matter what the movie name suggests finally movie turns to love matter and we hear only love songs. But the reality is that Love Marriage is still the biggest taboo in India. When someone elope for marriage we call them by bad names even though we know constitution of India provides complete right to any girl above 18 years to select a man for him and same right is also valid for man when he becomes 21 years old. We abandon them from our families and if they are really very orthodox family on name of honor they tear down all cloths of girls and take a nude rally in area and then kill her mercilessly, they even forgot that the shameless act they are doing on a person is their own child. Every week we can see news like this on television, in all more than 600 such occurrence news we hear on news, original number is still a mystery. A group of social workers tried to aware people not to do such this and even they were killed.

2.We elect our ministers so that they can bring progress to us but we never vote for a person who starts using money as soon as he sits on seat, we vote for a person who do something just before election. It's quite observable that the things that were built 1 years before people forget and the most recent is known. It is quite acceptable that money once spent will not return. The person who does nothing for four years just eats money from people and shows his work just before elections and we vote him. When someone tries to explain this even he gets killed by party members whole city knows but no one ever objects.

3.In India we don't care for idea, innovation and a good person what we care about is caste, religion, region, state and language. We even vote them everywhere may be in election or reality shows. People never vote for a Dalit in a region full of upper caste even though he is most liable one to get votes. Same thing happens in reality shows we mean to keep person from our region on top than the talented ones, the most recent example is Indian Idol 5 Naushad, Swaroop and Vikas were among the people every music mestro said deserves top 4 positions but we voted people who were from their own locality.

4.India is a place more than 60% population is youth but 90% political seats are taken by persons with age of Grand pa's. It is not fault of youth it is fault of our civil rules, no major seat is ever given to a person less than age of 35, explicitly mentioned in Indian political rules even legal age for becoming President or PM of India is 40. Means only a old person will get a seat of award even though is fire is fully blown down at that age. A young generation is full of fire, power, activity, ideas and innovation for implementation for new age so as the time takes, idea fades and when he gets chance to have a sit all innovations he was to implement remains of no use due to arrival of other new problems. And till now not even a single minister ever objected to change the rule just because they waited for years to get that place and now changing rules may lead their ass without leading chair.

5.We as a child always respect our elders but same thing really never happens with our elders, they love us but they don't respect us nor our views. As a child they buy us chocolates, toys, cloths and goodies we love that time. But when time comes for a child to select his carrier they force them to become doctors, engineers, or govt officers just because they dreamed their child become that, no one bothers what he wants to become. Same even applies to marriage they just go select a boy or girl then just as tradition boy goes to see girl, as as stated by parents boy have to yes and girl have to say yes even though they don't like each other. As a child we love and respect them and sacrifice our dreams for them and if we are not ready to do that we become most shameful name in family. This fear always makes us stay behind to do right thing for ourselves. This condition is true for more than 80% youths of India. Try to stand up against your beloved ones when you know you are right.

In India only 20% people live and act with new ideas of time and hence they are living a rich and quality life, rest 80% just use new equipments and are still primitive, this applies to whole country. No population, no corruption, no brain drains and nothing else than minds of people of India are responsible for India not progressing. And we don't want to blame ourselves so we blame rich people, politicians, corruption and brain drains. We are modern just by gadgets and equipments not by ideas and we will not develop unless and until we modernize our ideas to live our lives.

India:As The World Can See It

I have habit to surf YOUTUBE for some interesting videos, a week before I came across a video “Pakistan's message to India”. And I saw some person is making fun of India and Indians in front of News camera. He was mocking Indians are most coward people in world, one day we'll go inside and kill everyone of them if they will not accept India as a part of Pakistan. After having look on it, I searched some similar results and also pointed out their uploads dates and I was shocked to see they are uploaded in intervals of every month and some are in intervals of weeks. Dusk time is a time when I usually have talk with my friends, I was sitting beside my friend Shashikant and I told him what I saw on YOUTUBE. He told me Ajinkya once told him that Japan also commented something controversial on India, so was China. So we decided to find out what really other countries really think about India, those points which are never portrayed on Indian Television and rather than boasting we are right, we'll try to have a look on their point of view. Following are our findings,

Pakistan:- Indian is a nation of inferior people. Indians are most cunning in the world. Men are so cowards that they don't deserve to be called as men, they are black spot on name of being men. In spite of it's big army and Intelligence service we always succeed in penetrating their security. So its security is junk and intelligence is as much foolish as intelligence sounds brilliant. A day will come when we'll penetrate inside and kill every Indian if they'll not accept India as part of Pakistan.
Our say:- Pakistan indeed is a small country but have guts to open its mouth quite big. This is just because we have given them right by never replying to their such comments, our politicians sit like nothing happened and our people are more interested in movies and TV soaps of in laws than having their eye on this type of comments made by them. Let Gandhigiri on one side but if we'll not reply to their such comments, a day will come when whole world will laugh on us, just because if we are not replying them on their such comments, it means we are accepting they are right. Stand up it's time, otherwise it'll be too late.

China:-India is next to us in population and they think we have nothing to do other than practicing Kung-Fu, every time when India tries to get big picture we steal their lime light. India always complaints about we sell them cheap goods, but they forget cheap things comes for a cheap price, if you have so much problems with our cheap goods, why you purchase them, just don't and we can open our options to any other country, we only sell cheap goods but Indians are with cheap minds. India have intellectual resources that never becomes source of income or high living index just because of their orthodox and traditional way of thinking. The biggest example of this is 5 to 10 years before we hardly knew anything about English but as world moved ahead we started learning it. At that time we are zero in English as compared to India but today we are biggest nation in the world which can understand English and India is still at the same place where we both started.
Our Say:-We are actually happy that China accepts it tries to steal our limelight and other things that they complain about, we don't raise any doubt.

Japan:-World knows us as a country with high knowledge in field of Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Digital Electronics, India is no difference. We gained our place in world map just because we believe in guidance that Gautam Buddha taught us. In contrast to it, Indians only believe in praying stone idols. Even after accepting Buddha ideology they don't believe it, instead they even built temples of lord Buddha and now pray it as any other Indian god.
Our Say:-It's hard to comment anything on this, since I am sheer believer of science and anyhow anyway I don't believe there's any existence of God in any form, so I don't want to comment.

USA:-India is really big country and have highly intellectual beings. Our country actually have nearly 25% intellectual resources from India. We can never deny as a developed nation we are very thankful to India. But several times we hear Indians saying, our English language is inferior to theirs, we are superior to USA just because they have culture, and they are proud because Indians are working in US. Okay, we have a polite answer to that, of course a language is not inferior or superior, a language becomes great just because of people who make it great, if the people who use English like them, then that's not actually our problem. Next thing you say superiority because of culture. For your kind information every country have its own rich culture and every culture so far teaches only, how to live in harmony, nothing else, so stop believing wrong thing that will only lead you nowhere. Last thing you feel proud just because most of the Indian Intellectuals work in USA, then we'll like to put some light that they are now citizens of USA, that means they already declined their citizenship to India, they are no more Indians they are Americans, we gave them jobs, homes, food, shelter, of course protection, and better living index, practically you don't deserve to feel proud of them.
Our Say:-I have nothing to reply on, just because the thing USA states above was actually what I stated in my article “Truth Beyond Reality”. And of course I 100% agree, there's no reason we should feel proud for those working in USA.

Australia:-Whenever we hear Indians talking about us, they only term us racist. This is just because we hate them in our country. We don't think it is if we like only true Australians, everyone loves their country in spite of anything, that doesn't really make us racist. The people who racist are, are Indians themselves, and we don't need anything to explain about it, whole world know this, India is a place with highest number of killings on name of caste, religion, god and fake honor. They say they are have unity in diversity, they are only diverse, the unity is just a showoff.
Our Say:-Racist, Caste, Religion, I really hate those words. What I know is every human being inside skin have nearly same sets of organs, same color of blood and same set of feelings. And as a human being I think this is sufficient to know we are quite similar so I don't need any caste, religion or god to believe on.
