Emergence of India

We as a nation are at a critical juncture and is a make or break scenario. We have achieved much in this decade. But there are many critical roadblocks for the next level. the biggest challenge is the Political establishment which is not prepared to lead the nation. Even today our class of politicians support corrupt and strong people, are more associated with self benefits. They have no vision for future or plans to fight other critical issues like enviornment, proverty, upliftment etc. We need the educated class to be associated in politics. The step taken by Gujarat to make voting compulsory is a right step. The Educated people need to be involved in democratic processes and institutions. Only when there is a mass involvement of the educated class will there be right people be elected. Last few elections in India have seen a steady decline in the number of people who have actually voted.

As a nation we are lucky that we have democracy surviving in a country where there are so many divergences . People in India have a faith in domocracy and that needs to be understood by the intelligia. They have to be involved in democratic processes.

The other key challenge for the country is in the adoption of technology. We need to have innovation in technology which is cost effective, green and also productive. We cannot have a scenario where there is no water in our river to support the billions. Our Civilization has been built on rivers and global warming is impacting the glaciers. The Industrial growth in India has to be supported by care for enviornment. we need to give back more than what we take from earth. There should be a massive effort in terms of reforestation, reducing carbon footprint and partnering with other countries to innovate for green technologies.

Survival of India

The latest Shot by the Indian Politicians have opened Pandora's Box for the survival of the nation. We do not need fight for states. We need education and growth, prosperity of our people. What Congress Government has done is open up a whole new issue for seperatist movements, a ripe welcome for Dammed Politicians to hide behind for all their inefficiencies. Creating new states does not solve problems. There are lot of issues which the central government can worry about like environment, growth, education, infrastructure and so on. It should have taken some other strategy to kill the agitation of TRS rather than declaring a new state formation. This fire would not douze so easily.

Technology for "BHARAT"

As a nation, we must use Technology. I strongly believe that the National Unique ID project can be leweraged to a far extended purpose than the use it is being till now. The same must be used in all IT returns, all the government dealing, be it at state level or at the Central Levels, all Legals issues, all subsidies and for all investements and subsidies and anywhere there is a Database. It should be used in railway reservation and for opening of bank accounts, taking loans etc. This way, the Authorities can track the movements of individuals, flow of money and then target various welfare to the deserving people. Only people with lessser income and below proverty line should be given benefits of all types of reservations in educational institutes and in government jobs till a specified time frame. The tracking of people movement though the national id would allow the government to plan for civic and economic activities in area, which require developments. It would also help in national security, as the government would know, where the people are moving and also help in a little way in tracking criminals and absconding people. The national identity project should be made multi dimensional and should be used by government also to generate additional revenue by selling certain portion of data to advertisers. This would enable the companies to target coonsumers in a better way and for the government to recover the cost of the project.

Swine Flu Scenario in India

It is rather very pathetic of the Government of India not to have the necessary infrastructure in Place to handle Swine Flu. The government has to involve the private players (specially the organized one) to counter the disease. The policy of not taking head on problems like this has been plaguing this country for such a long time. be it Kashmir or the Economy. Why the government takes a passive strategy rather than a proactive strategy.

Technology in National Integration

Technology can play a big role in National Integration. The Government of India should allow full connectivity in India in Communication and Railway Infrastructure. The Government should allow free flow of people from one part of the country to another and set up technology centers in the backward areas like Bihar, Orrisa and Rajasthan. Education should be made compulsory for everyone with use of Information Technology. This way People would be more concerned on Development and Prosperity rather than trivial issues.

Security Scenario in India

The succesive Governments in India have not done any thing to tackle the menance of terrorism and to tackle the security scenario of India. China i surrounding us all big time in the Indian Ocean. Our governments and media just brag about out dated technologies to defend the nation. Which decent country in the world leashes its armoury and we go gung hoo about a technology which is still in the nascent technology. The latest induction of INS Arhiant is a case in point.

The Goevrnment of India, specially, Prime Minsister Singh should take concrete steps for stabilizing the nation. The Intelligence network should be beefed up and out borders should be secured with the latest technology. We must involve the private sector to a much greater extent in the sector and not barp about test technology. Pakistan and the nations must be told in the clear terms not to mess with us.

We must learn from US, which after 9/11 used all means to secure the borders. The nation is at such a point, where the time is ripe to become a great nation. We must be secure, than only money will flow into country and economy will become better creating jobs for millions. Attention should be paid by government to counter fake notes, terrorists and improving intelligence. We cannot and should allow another 26/11 at any cost.
