We were fcked by socialism , licence raj , bureaucratic misgovernance , caste politics etc . And excess population in non costal states like UP , Bihar dint help . Central india got fckd due to communist violence . NE already has a rough geography and add conflict to that . Same with respect to kashmir and panjab .
India started living after 1990 only . Liberalization though half hearted is all that was needed to ignite that spirit of people . But still old school left wing politics , foreign supported interest groups , judicial delay , political vested interest delay many developmental projects .
But why are we discussing history . Dont we already knw all these stuff . This thread shd be used for updates nt for mourning on backwardness .. Its nt going to go away by mourning .
Unfortunately India's learning model has been make mistake,supplant it with even biggest mistake and end up with a massive cesspit.The question now is,Is India doing anything to ensure that no further mistakes are being made ?
You cannot become the next China simply by wishful thinking and building industries or infrastructure projects here and there.It has to be backed by a strong educated and a healthy workforce.
Unfortunately there is a huge variance between India's dreams and ground reality.
Most of India is mentally still in 18th century with their archaic living standards,customs and beliefs.
An average Indian does not think beyond religion,has no critical thinking,analytical skills or logical reasoning ability and is fit for no other work than manual labour.It is very difficult to turn them into skilled workforce,A thing that i witnessed in the 8 years that i worked in companies that i worked in.
We need nothing less than a Great Leap Forward at least in our Culture and Education system.
