Ingenious India
Ingenious India
Hesitating to act because the whole vision might not be achieved, or because others do not share it yet, is an attitude that only hinders progress.
-Mahatma Gandhi.
India - a country of more than a billion heartbeats, emotions, adventures, deities but most importantly- a country with more than a billion problems. Everyone has some problem. It may be a leaking roof, no roof, rising prices of food and fuel, limited access to even the most basic technology, limited access to knowledge, inadvertent power cuts, lack of hygiene, or lack of medical facilities. What we put up with everyday is not what we deserve. The India of the 21st century deserves better and demands better. With so many problems facing us, what should we do? We solve them. Let us keep in mind that it is not a task that we have to undertake. We should look at it as an opportunity to solve our problems and as a chance to find out potential leaders who can guide our society to its destiny. But how do we achieve this goal? The answer lies in ingeniousness.
Ingenious means having or showing cleverness or creativity in solving the problems. We have problems at the lowest level. We can’t approach NASA or blame ISRO for them. They are our problems and we have to solve them. We have to find new ways to tackle our problems. There is no point in blaming the government for being unable to solve our problems. If we are to be on the world stage we must not be bothered about difficulties at the grass root level. And the only way out is not having these difficulties.
Necessity is the mother of invention. Where there is a problem there has to be solution.
“India lives in its villages.” said Gandhiji. He was right. The most important problems are the problems of our villages. Yes, they are our problems indeed. If the villages can sustain themselves socially and economically and can provide for good life of the villagers, it would automatically stop the influx of the rural folk to the urban areas. It would in turn give a lifeline to the cities improving the living conditions there. With limited resources and an ever-increasing population, it becomes difficult to channel the energy of the public into nation building. When surviving the day becomes the objective, it is difficult to expect any contribution to the cause of the nation.
Whatever the difficulties in our way we must not deter from our path.
