Time for resurgence

I recieved yet another wonderful article on India today. It portrayed the reality claiming that there is a section of India which is highly optimistic which dreams of building and acquiring the multi nationals and the other half mostly pessimistic with their own uncertainities. Those who are ready to lead and those who are waiting to be led!!

I am really amazed at the disparities of our Indian society. On one end there is so much pride on our shoulders when we hear about acquisitions like the Arcelor one and on the otherside we have so much pain when we see the poverty. It is not possible to easily get rid of the differences. I have friends in the west who think it is cruel for me to enjoy any luxury when my fellow citizens dont have even 3 times meals a day. But then i do not agree to this. I think i really need to experience what other nations are like. I need to know how far we are behind or what is better in my country as compared to the developed countries.

But i think it is this optimism that we need to shift ourselves to. We need to add quality to the quantity that we have. We have to develop a sense of vision to every little thing we do. It is time to resurge to bring back our old glory. To take a relook at ourselves and identify the rich cultural heritage from hollow meaningless rituals. Max Mueller once said that India existing today is a hollow skeleton of the glorious past that we had. And before we lose sight of our moorings trying to ape the sophosticated west it is time for us to resurge and reform ourselves.
