Indian Growth is Resilient

The recent economic crisis proved the resilience of the Indian economy. The growth pattern of India is resilient. It sustained the worst of times and is also leading the recovery out of recession. The country which is relatively new to the open markets has shown great understanding and resilience in the difficult times for the world economy. The reasons that attribute to the already proven resilience as well as a sustainable economy for the future, are many.

The Indian regulator, The Reserve Bank of India, has shown in these tough times that it's a responsible regulator and is shrewd in decidion making. The cautious approach of control and restrain which was earlier criticised by the free economies of the world, is now being applauded. The mix of control with freedom allowed India to be resilient and the effects from the other parts of the world were reduced.

The Indian democracy is also an asset for the countries growth. The fact that it doesn't depend on one individual, means that no one individual could bring about a collapse. Autocracy with all it's advantages in implementations, could ruin everything if it falls in the wrong hands.

The Domestic Consumption driven growth is also responsible for the resilience. The large population and the growing middle class makes for the consumption of goods within the country. So even when the exports are suffering, a market is there for the produce. It mitigates the effects of the financial turmoil in other parts of the world to some extent.

The Indian Youth, which provides the largest pool of qualified engineers at relatively lower prices as compared to the already developed nations means that even in the future, India will always be providing quality service at lower prices. At a time when the world is aging, India has a greater number of youth in it's population.

All this means that the 8.5% GDP growth projected for the year looks good to be achieved and be sustained for the XII five year plan as well. The future looks bright for INDIA. It's India Shining.

He who knows how to be Poor knows Everything

In today's materialistic world, being poor is the worst thing that can happen to you. Being educated, being moralistic and being principled amount to almost nothing if you are poor. There are no opportunities to come out of that quagmire. Someone who has been through this and has somehow overcome the mountain of difficulties, would possess incredible amounts of determination, will and belief in his ability. Such talent is rare but often results in producing the greats. Being poor teaches you time management, how to make the most of your time to survive. It teaches you adaptability, how to adjust to the extremes of living conditions. It pushes you to extend your boundries and grow farther. It makes you emotionally and mentally strong. Someone who has been facing defeat after defeat but still gets up everytime to face adds so many facets to his personality. You learn only from your mistakes. If you have never faced defeat, it would be hard to survive. To relate to my own l

Belief in Virtue is more important than Virtue itself

Just pause for a second from your daily life. The life that you are so desperately trying to organise, to make worthy, to make grand. The future plans that you are putting together, the aspiration and the fantasies; put them aside and think about this- "We spend a lot of time trying to organize the world, we build clocks and calendars and we try to predict the weather but what part of our life is truly under our control. What if we choose to exist purely in our reality of our own making, does that render us insane. If that does, isn't that better than a life of despair?" Rationality and irrationality is purely subjective. Also what's better is only a matter of how deeply you apply your thoughts to it. If being happy and content is all that you want in life, then isn't living an insane life in a world of your own, the perfect thing for you. The problem with us is that we don't know what we actually want, and when we do, we hate to accept them and instead

India has the largest pool of talented manpower but very few innovations and patented products.

Ancient India was the hub of learning and innovation. India had scholars like Aryabhatta, Charak, Chanakya, and many others. But, with time, that zeal for innovation has faded away due to the constant lack of encouragement from the whole system. Ancient India gave zero to the world, invented chess, developed ayurveda but today not many discoveries take place in India. This lack of innovation is the result of the systemic failure of our society. From school to college to workplace, we are taught and tamed into following the set rules. We are taught to be followers and any attempt to think freely is viewed as dissent. Our society has closed itself to any criticism or corrective evolution. This was quite evident when we saw the introduction of Genetically Modified seeds in India. Every technology has its pros and cons, and we need to encourage the spirit of research and innovation to increase the pros and limit the cons but an outright opposition to anything new will be a hindrance
