Mr Sarkar,
How many of your relatives live near border?
Any?
My parents are living within 6 miles of
India-Bangladesh border. In my childhood, I have
hardly seen a day, that has not gone without a robbery
in greater Karimpur area. There are band of robbers in
border area who have ration cards from both the
countries. Armed with latest automatic weapons, they
will rob in one country and then vanish into another.
We all had to patrol in night to make our area safe.
Fencing was demand from the community like ours to
make our living safe. Thanks to fencing, boarder
towns are much safe now.
So stop your theocratic bullshitting. Like every
animal, we are just trying to survive and live.
You can always criticize your own country to make
it better, but yours is a proven case that you hate
India. India will not exist if we all start hating our
motherland just because we do not like Indian Govt.
However it does not matter. I have high faith on
young Indians who are very positive in their attitude
and in their dreamrun to establish India's global
position in science and technology. Confidence is
high.
Behind this, there is a large landscape of poverty
but I have seen in last two decades, except in Bihar
and Orissa, all the states have improved. States that
have been able to support investment friendly
environment, have been highly successful in
eradicating poverty.
I was in Pune and Bangalore in Jan for visiting some
of the local industries. Both the towns are better
than most of the average Europian towns in terms of
standard of living.
Don't forget the richest man in your favored land
(UK) is an Indian--Lakshmi Mittal. He is proud of his
Indian citizenship. Rightnow, hightech industries in
USA, starting from Microsoft, Cisco, Lucents, Nortel,
Motorola, Oracle, Intels...are dominated by Indians.
All the top technical officials including 30-40%
employees in these famous industries who are changing
the way we live and think ---- are INDIAN. They are
all product of Indian school system which has beaten
any schooling system in world in producing high
standard technocrats as admitted by none other than
Bill Gates. You want to know more? Most of the
accomplished Indians in USA, do not accept US
citizenship because they are proud to be born and
recognized as Indian- a great culture. Indians have
the poorest rate in converting green card to
citizenship.
So Mr Sarkar, I am sorry. Todays India does not have
place for old and negative people like you--it is all
about new people who are running high in confidence to
build a new India in twenty first century--which will
have only two countries ahead by 2020-- China and USA!
