India -- The Road Ahead!!!
Whatever happens to you, don’t fall in despair. Even if all the doors are closed, a secret path will be there for you that no one knows. You can’t see it yet but so many paradises are at the end of this path. Be grateful. It is easy to thank after obtaining what you want, thank before having what you want
What Young India Wants is the question raised by eminent Indian author and famous youth icon Mr Chetan Bhagat, today this holds a very sharp edge on the minds of the world as this is the question everyone is asking.
What India really wants is to be Indian... We love pastas, pizzas for food. We love shopping at International Brand's Showrooms, We love hanging out till late, getting drunk, partying, having girlfriends and behave like a citizen of USA or Australia but at the end of the day... We all want a decent living, a stable job or business, good family values, a decent home, love, peace and prosperity!! Brotherhood and mutual respect and admiration.
Let us put forth a clear picture of a small town boy who travels to a big cosmopolitan city with the dream of making it big with lots of money, fame and fortunes.... Reminiscent of the times when we used to travel outside India a few decades ago (some of you NRI Readers will agree with this). Times are changing... We have grown from small country citizens travelling to bigger countries to a truly independent economy where we are free to explore the opportunities across different locations and work hard towards our future. We have defined our new mentality and state of development where we do not need to go to USA to employ with Major Corporations of the world like IBM, Microsoft, PepsiCo, Walmart or Ikea.... We have all of these biggies right in our country in our major cities. This is Growth!!!
We have grown from being recognized by Delhi and Mumbai alone... Today the world is aware of the small and not so small cities as well... The Tier II Indian cities and the Indian Middle class is the most happening market in the world. We have seen the immense development in the last decade and the best part of it is that this is purely due to the hard work and dedication of the Indians that we have achieved this. We don't owe our success to anyone what we have achieved in the last decade is purely our hard work and dedication. And the best is yet to come...
2008 was a year when the world economy was sinking under the waters of recession and India was one of the very few countries that not only faced it with grace but gave a stunning example of how the values of being less flamboyant with our incomes made our economies relatively stable even in the tough times. In spite of ineffective government administration, huge power grid failures, property mishaps and multi million dollar scams and what not... India still shines in its glory but is it the end?
The answer is NO! This is more of a rebooting process that the Indian economy is witnessing. With rise in the global up-scaling of business in India and development across segments the Indian youth truly wants to be ready for the future with their upgraded tools and ancient methodologies. The young India truly wants its identity as a separate type of a youth in comparison to the world youth where the progress and traditions go hand in hand and the values and Indians get recognition beyond being from the land of Tandoori Chicken and Slums.
The Indian context of the world is also changing slowly with the Indian culture getting to know the concept of Nuclear families and multi-city living with both the husband and wife going to work but Indian women have proved themselves to be better than the global standard working women as they balance the professional and personal ends of their lives with much more ease!
The Road ahead for India is highly progressive and requires a lot of hard work and dedication from our generation... The youth and this makes way for the day when our children will no longer read what we and our predecessor generation has grown up reading "India is a Developing country"
This is my wish for the future and this is also the wish of the millions of Young Indians who, as you read this are working hard to grow and define growth in the most unexpected ways!!!
Jai Hind :)
