• Yes, it is confirmed malaria. Another night of harrowing convulsive experience. Developed India: A Reality in Twenty Years Our man at the helm, holding a broom, has succeeded in his contagious drive for good. Must swatch Bharat thus programmed, be limited to holding brooms (for most of our sick minded Indians it is first time experience), in a country where every second person lives as an islander, vainglorious, conceited. Only when each able Indian takes up as a duty and concern and contributes his services to his neighbourhood, are things really likely to improve. And may I spell out, or list the activities in order of priority:1 Apart from sweeping, never allow water to stagnate at least in your immediate surroundings, where it is not possible to drain the sewage, as temporary measure throw some kerosene or mud-to implement this the Government will have to announce a policy of reward and punishment. Trivial as it may seem, this is of utmost importance.2.The present dispensation has rightly launched the provision of lavatories. Concurrently, it must make provisions for underground sewage drains, and upgrade the lines where the density of the population has seen an exponential rise, a phenomenon common through-out the country. Rural India and neglected urban districts like ghettoes, slum and wide stretches of suburbs have been grossly neglected-gentrification is the crying need. Every village and town, without qualification, must be provided with underground sewage system, to realizing which, we may have to spend as much as we do on our idle military-why? To what end. We must yoke them to social productive work as the Chinese do, taking an occasional call to natural calamity will not do. The military must serve a dual purpose of providing security at the borders, and contributing their might to Nation Building’. India has to rethink, exploit the military machine that it spends billions to maintain. Much of the border security can be taken care of by quasi-military bands comprising the local youth. This way we should be able to save substantially. Rich countries spending 5%-10% of their budget military is a crime, we cannot afford to spend 25%, and more of our meager budget on a lousy force (would tantamount to sin) that is ineffective, unethical, unproductive at best.3.We better stop spending millions on paper and TV advertisement let every penny from the tax payers pocket be well spent. The dire need of the hour is more and more sewage treatment plants, small power plants based on waste treatment and management, etcetera.4The high trajectory of growth that we perceive and so ardently seek to realize must be boosted by inclusive growth. Every able bodied Indian must be gainfully employed; we are yet to tap the potential of our youth, have ignored them only to the countrys detriment. The problem of our youth’s susceptibility to drug, scourge of terrorism, rioting, heinous rape crimes, accidents and other social evils must automatically solve on their own, provided we ensure quality scientific and value based standard English medium education with mother tongue as the first language (two language formula or have a third optional Sanskrit, Arabic, French or German if we must-not every child may have the necessary aptitude to learn second language, let alone a third language. Nowhere in the world one is forced to learn three languages, by doing so you leave the kids exercised, and end up neglecting science and mathematics that are much necessary for their job worthiness. Moreover every Hindu, particularly the ‘lower castes,’ who any way are treated as out castes, may not prefer Sanskrit. If the RSS is so desirous of spreading, and reviving Sanskrit then let it then first do away with caste system at least before the end of the third Millennium. You very well know that the Dalits are not Hindus; you only tag them with you to show your majority, and get their votes. The Supreme Court has not shown wisdom in this regard. While Sanskrit is a mother language to Indo-European languages it is not the mother of all the languages. You have Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, etc, as distinct group with a single common root. Again there is Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, Mongolian, etc in a third I am not a linguist to comment beyond this, but this I will say for sure that that English will remain the lingua franca for all times to come in spite of the vitriolic attacks by the Hindi speaking chauvinists. Indian Hindus must really be proud of the fact that there revered language of the Vedas is the mother of Indo-European languages that includes all the Turkic languages, which again are infused with Arabic. Now the Holy Koran says, ‘all languages are good,’ all the accomplishments, and failures of mankind are a common legacy that every world citizen must feel proud, or ashamed of.) education, provision of nutritious food prepared in state of the art food processing plants, (strangely when we must allocate more, the ill advised government is unabashedly slashing measly health budget) gainful employment to every able bodied citizen by launching mega construction projects, apart from intensive modern farming to double food production in ten years, cold storage, grain storing facilities at market yards. Manufacture of sophisticated farm machinery; distribution of land to the land less Dalits. Andput in place all necessary measures to ensuring good remuneration for the impoverished farmers. Last but not the least our country must become a mosquito free land, will real progress manifest.5.Every Indian with an aptitude to teach, must ensure that every child in his neighborhood receives basic education. The super rich, the corporate houses need to take cognizance and chip in their might, this alone must serve as a true test of their (every Indians) commitment and patriotism. All the afore-mentioned suggestions are important prerequisite to making India a developed country. These suggestions must prove helpful to all the developing countries. 0
