The world is waiting for a change….India is at the forefront but no one is yet to find the solution. The world is expecting India to step in and find alternative solutions to close in the gap between the old world and the new world, between the old and new economic system. Nobody is stopping India from taking its position on the world stage specially having produced such stalwarts such as Amartya Sen and Muhammad Yunus.
In a democracy such as India we cannot leave everything on the shoulders of our political leaders and sit back to shame or blame when things move from dissonance to utter anarchy.
While it’s vital that India jumps over the fence and takes part in the world economy as set up by western capitalistic thinking (which has been prevalent for several hundred years now) it’s also extremely vital that India comes to the forefront and provides the world with an alternative economic system that will lift the vast majority from an old system to a system that is meaningful and tangible to the old system.
How long should we the common man/woman stand on the sidelines. When will the vested interests of the Ivory Towers be willing to come down and respectively pay heed to the common man’s cries?
Nobody mentions the Green Revolution brought about by late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. This forward step, however, was not followed through proper vision to bring about a sustainable and ongoing transformation for turning the future of this region.
Stagnation in every walk of life, stagnation of our minds and an inertia at creating self supportive substantive frameworks in social development is a malaise that still continues to persist.
The whole world depends on western research in almost every area of our lives and living. But these research findings have to be woven into the very fabric of our society. Every strata of society has its own needs. Every strata of society has a certain amount of wisdom. The problem is a lack of integration of these two vital aspects in order to make it meaningful for every citizen of India.
An ordinary citizen cannot continue to survive from one drama to the other. Where are our economists and change agents in the current situation prevailing in northern India? Without a vision, man will perish.
We have everything in our hands to solve this situation. We have the technology and all problem-solving tools on our hands. Yet we are not able to solve this problem as our minds are not yet FREE. Without a vision, man shall perish. Pride makes us blind and short-sighted. Woe to us if we are so.
What is holding us back? To whom much is given, much is required. If you have been given talents you must double it. You owe this to the Almighty.
