TRAVELLER'S THOUGHTS

As I travel through developed democracies, a constant question in my mind is: What does India need to do to join these countries?

And observing routine life in those countries reinforces the idea that success in IT and BPO businesses alone cannot take us there. Nor can a flood of fashion shows and beauty contests. Nor can a sickening excess of song-and-dance in TV shows and Bollywood movies.

Indians need to be able to look at themselves self-critically. India needs a change in mindsets, a really progressive world view, to become a developed democracy.
