What About Alexanders of Wealth!!?

Since time immemorial individuals like the ancient Alexander have sought Fame and Fortune, by spreading destruction over vast tracts of land and populations.

Likewise, those who acquired wealth (by any means) have sought Fame and Fortune by proving they can get away with anything, including undoing a country's Ideals - which make that nation GREAT!

Who's Greater than Alexander?

Who's Greater Than Alexander?

Through times immemorial individuals have sought fame and fortune, often by spreading havoc over vast areas. Take Alexander of Greece in ancient times. On becoming a king in his teens, he decided to achieve greatness by spreading death and destruction in vast lands - sundering the lives of families in country after country. From India he finally turned back - of course, feeling tremendously great! Somewhere in India's north-west, possibly the Khyber Pass, he got malaria. From mosquito-bites. And he succumbed to it.

So the big question is: Who indeed is the greater? Alexander? Or the mosquito? No, you don't have to toss a coin to decide.

Rumpanathan: Or How to Succeed by Cheating!

Rumpanathan: Or How to Succeed by Cheating!

Here's the true story of an India-style achiever I knew long ago.
I was 27, going through the pain of losing a beloved father in tragic circumstances. With a family to look after and no income, I needed a steady income for some years. So, rather than take the risk of starting a medical practice, I joined a British pharma company in old Bombay. I opted for Sales Promotion. My senior partner there turned out to be a fellow who had risen from Medical Rep. And at first sight I nicknamed him mentally as Rumpanathan or the Buffalo's Rump. That's what he looked like. The other lead character in this story is the Englishman who was our Sales Director. I nicknamed him John Sneeze because he had a nose like Punch in the Punch and Judy show. Other colleagues warned me not to air new ideas in front of Rumpanathan as he was sure to run to the SD and present them as his own. They also told me to avoid criticizing the Director in front of Rumpo. A toady and backbiter, he would add his own masala to get you in trouble with the SD. 

  
At my first sales promotion meeting I presented a product promotion idea. 'Excellent!' said Sneeze and then asked, 'Whose idea is it?' Sitting next to me, with no hesitation at all, Rumpanathan pointed at his own head. The SD looked at me and said pointedly: 'I thought so.' Strangely, I didn't react. At that moment or later, if I had challenged Rumpanathan to tell the truth, his career would have ended. Instead, all I did was decide that if a colleague could lie so brazenly and the SD would believe him, I did not want to stay more than a year or two in the company. John Sneeze was stupid to trust and encourage Rumpo; but in his own country he may never have met a Cheating Champ without scruples or shame like Rumpanathan. Two years later I opted out of the company and started my own medical practice.

Years later I learned the Indian Cheating Champ had become an international director of that British pharma company. Surely, on Rumpanathan's international success route many others, like his colleagues in Bombay, would have seen exactly what he was...and spread the message that Indians were dishonest. That they were cheats!
Rumpanathan rose by Undoing India!

*

India surely has the talent-potential to rise among nations.
But can the achievements of Cheating Champs contribute to India's progress or make her truly modern? No! Not a whisper of hope!
It was Lee Kuan Yew's foresight and emphasis on Order, Honesty, Humane Values etc., enabling Chinese, Malays, Indians and people of differing ethnicity to live in peace and unitedly strive for progress, that turned the city-state of Singapore into the 4th most developed place in the world - just a spot behind New Zealand and one ahead of the United States. In development India, on the other hand, still languishes at around 138th among 180 countries.

Tomorrow's Modernized India!

Tomorrow's Modernized India!

In the dramatic 'Rising India' Novel, Dreams of One Country (Amazon - Books), an audacious young woman's campaign for Humane Values unites and inspires youth to achieve India's long-delayed world class modernization!

Can tomorrow's India achieve world-class modernization? Like Singapore?
Certainly! India has the necessary talents and resources. But it requires a real change of mindsets. It requires the attitudes of sharing and caring for one another that unites a truly modernized country!
According to UNDP Singapore is the fourth best developed place in the world...just ahead of the U.S...as a result of Lee Kuan Yew's wisdom and foresight that brought together Malays, Chinese, Indians and others in a united, truly modernized city-state.
