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.

Essential for that is kind of India inspired by the amazing young woman's campaign for Humaneness-Honesty in Dreams of One Country (Amazon - Books): A 'New India' Novel,  India Rises!

 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.

Most certainly India has the resources and talents to become a truly modern, developed nation. What has held her back for 70 years? When will she wake up to see her true potential? Can drifting day to day on the whims of pettiness lift any country to the heights? The answer of course is: ' No!' What has held India back so far? First, divisiveness among the people - by language, region, caste, creed etc. And the tendency to celebrate imaginary success. And the inclination to take advantage of others for selfish benefit. To this day in parts of the country obsolete practices like child marriage continue. So does 'dowry' harassment, driving so many wives to suicide. Even the educated fail to question their attitudes, however illogical or harsh. The latest Walk Free Foundation report again underlines democracy's failure to progress in decades of freedom. India tops the report's Global Slavery Index. Of  a 2.2 billion population, 18.3 million citizens are subjected to varied kinds of exploitation and cruelty. Worst affected are children, women and low castes. No wonder the Human Development Index of UNDP ranks India 130th among 185 countries of the world.

Today those who have the means assume that malls, foreign cars, power motor-bikes, high-rises and mobiles have already elevated India to a high level of development. They are India's foremost non-official braggers - their priority pastime is showing off their big acquisitions, ignoring the many citizens whose daily concerns are food and survival. Bragging only helps India pretend she's developing. Think of the way Japan rose after WWII. Not a word of self-praise or propaganda. In just 10 years it was left to the world to realize how much Japan had achieved  The big 'talkers' are usually not 'doers.'

No amount of self-praise, sloganeering or propaganda will lift India to the heights. Real development requires a change of attitudes, expert planning and hard work. India will rise as a developed democracy if her people come together as equals, a country whose people feel and care for each other. It needs serious introspection. A great 'change of heart.' It's the only way.
That One Way will surely take India to a new dawn. To elite nationhood.
That way is a street called CARING HEART STREET.
