Will Lefty Handshakes Modernize India?

Will Lefty Handshakes Modernize India?

Go east, west, north, south. Anywhere in this country, in deals involving officialdom or their minions, the right hand makes the payment of actual dues. A lefty handshake passes on the lubricant money that is required to ensure the deals go through. Without those lefty handshakes (or shakedowns?) the deals get bogged down in unexpected complications and even, yes, your files may be lost forever. Can a country where such bribery is accepted a normal every day fact of life develop into a civilized modern democracy?

None to beat cricket, but two other all-too popular sports - though without the benefit of any organized high publicity competitions like the IPL - are Showing Off and Hoodwinking others for profit (or Swindling). Hope they start big money competitions like ISOL and IHL!!!

Will Divided Hearts Modernize India?

Will Divided Hearts Modernize India?

Can a country with hearts splintered by narrow-minded antagonisms - over language, region, sharing river water, religion, caste etc. - where the common attitude instead of 'One for All!' and 'All for One!' is 'None for All!' and 'All for None!' - develop into a truly modern nation?

Not a chance.

 The biggest -itis spread out across India today is hunter-itis, the search for opportunities to pick up assets, either financial or property, whether it belongs to the government or a 'friend.' An -itis of the grab what one can get away with mentality, it includes grabbing.by any means, including taking advantage of unsuspecting people and cheating. The  grabber congratulates himself on the cleverness that enabled him to succeed. Of course, such cleverness deserves a Masters or Doctorate in Lack of Morals. I have seen parts of pavement and sea beach taken over by grabbers for their own use, even public or private land and property. It doesn't matter where in India: such attitudes are the same 

No country that ignores principles and 'conscience' - where failing morals is a normal way of life - can hope to rise as a truly modern, developed nation.

India's Worthiest Citizens Today!

India's Worthiest Citizens Today!

No Indian who does not have a mobile phone, an all-purpose (though it's still not edible!) phone, to tap-tap on while walking around on the street is a worthy citizen of the country.
No Indian who has less cars than his neighbor is a worthy citizen of the country.
No Indian who has less high-breed dogs than his neighbor is a worthy citizen of the country.
No Indian who is not on Facebook is a worthy citizen of the country.
No Indian who doesn't have a new unbreakable-glass modern-day palace to live in is a worthy citizen of this country.

That makes it abundantly clear who are India's Worthiest Citizens Today! Right?

But what about all those people who have an ordinary mobile phone bought with money borrowed from a loan shark, who have no cars or breed dogs, who call a shanty-town hut their home...whose main worry is about their family's next meal?   
Oh, those! Totally unworthy...not worth wasting your time thinking about. Forget them! In fact, as far as all Worthy Indians are concerned, they don't exist!

India's Self-Geniused Executives!

A less public aspect of the craving to show-off or brag are India's self-geniused company executives. Young executives create an air of being geniuses by techniques like ill-treating or insulting subordinates and treating colleagues as nitwits. At the same they grab good ideas they hear from a colleague, run to senior officers and present the ideas as their own before the colleague gets a chance. I have already described an example of such genius cheats in Buffalo's Rumpanathan and Mr Sneeze.
It's very difficult for colleagues to have any discussions with these geniuses...who are so preoccupied with geniotic thinking that they tend to look through ordinary colleagues. These Indian-style cheats are also expert tale-carriers. Colleagues have to be careful what they say in their hearing because the geniuses will run to the senior officer and add some masala to make it seem the junior was insulting the boss. If the senior is from a developed country he does not understand what the Indian genius is up to, because such crookery does not happen in civilized countries and he assumes the genius airs put on by the junior are indeed signs of the young man's brilliance.

Another aspect of the aerial Indian executive is the founder/head of a successful company. As his company rises higher he himself rises into a more and more rarefied atmosphere, where he can be accessed only by other company heads... or the Hubble Telescope...or, maybe, the gods!
