India to INDIA: The Pokhran way
11 May 1998 the historic day when India
held first Nuclear Missile Test. And again on 13 May 1998 2 more tests held. These tests made every
Indian proud. Now India
is a Nuclear Super Power. Now we are secured that no country in the world that
has nuclear missile will attack India.
Every Indian was happy. But at the same world fraternity was aghast by thinking
that even India
has nuclear missile. US and European nations have condemned these tests as
their authority of developing Nuclear weapons broke. They broke relationships
with India. We
were in a fizzy condition as we have started developing in the same 1990's and
in few years such a big problem arises. All economists have predicted that India
will not sustain their growth and economy started loosing. Every coin has two
sides and this was one side of the coin, the other side was as shining as the
Sun.
In the year 1947 India
got its Independence and then we
started a new chapter towards prosperity. But during those early years Indian
economy was not doing well as India
being a Secular nation having communist thinking. We have never thought that
globalization will help India
to earn a respect economically. In early 1990's we opened our economy and
stepped towards Globalization. But after 1998 when the powerful countries
restricted their business with India Indian economy has started to look beyond
these countries. India
developed very good bilateral relations with China.
Currently China
is India's
second largest Business Partner. India
helped African nations and developed and maintained good relations with them.
Because of the restriction in business from powerful countries, India
looked beyond them and earned a lot of respect from these countries in business
and foreign policies. This made India Independent in economy from these
powerful countries. India
showed way to other small countries that if big and powerful nations are not
taking your note look for alternatives, make your economy strong by encouraging
students for further studies, encourage researchers, encourage Entrepreneurs
and take your country on a next level.
World noticed India's
progress. India
encouraged their entrepreneurs and they started manufacturing products which
were very rarely manufactured in India.
And then came the IT revolution. Information Technology brought India
on a world map of developing nations. Today India
is an IT hub. Bangalore became a
big IT Hub. Even oxford had taken a note of Bangalore
and added a word as 'BANGLORED' in their next Dictionary edition. This is a
great achievement. During these years World has taken a note of India
not as a country but as a developing Super power. This is not because of the IT
revolution or population or bull market but because of its strength to believe
in his ability as a country, its people and their thinking foresight ness to
look beyond something. And this all happened because of Pokhran Nuclear Test.
That day India
was proud and the next day world condemned nuclear test which we tested for our
own security. And then India
started its Run and we feel proud that we are in this country where you get
chance to think big.
1857 is in base for Indian Independence and the same way we can say nuclear tests are in the base of India's Economic independence. These tests helped us to find our strength and opportunity on which we can work. JAI HIND.
