India completes its Shasti-Abtha-poorthi

Normally we talk about our parents reaching their 60th birth anniversary and we perform rituals called the Shasti-Abtha-poorthi which actually means celebrating the 61st birthday termed a very auspicious occasion.. Now it time for India to perform the rituals .. India from the day it had got its independence has been living in a world of secularist democracy , with multi lingual , multi caste and under the rule of bureaucracy's .. She has gone through a glorious transformation from the day where the then PM Jawaharlal Nehru gave the famous "tryst with destiny" and the day when current PM assures the country to enrich people with knowledge , to bring in the concept of "aam admi" , to extricate corruption and extremism in the form of terrorism ..

India has turned 60 and has got a senior citizen status where other countries will look forward to india on providing resources and knowledge power.. India has moved up the ladder in the past decade or 2 to see her competing alongside China in the global economy. India @60 has seen the tranformation from colonial rule into a modern, industrialising, knowledge-based economy within the framework of a liberal and secular democracy. "In the past 60 years, people moved to where work was available; in the next 60 years, work must move to where people live."

SO guys/ gals just give few points on "Why you love being in India" also on the contrary give "Why you hate being in India" .. "Or reforms needs to be done from Now ??"

dude, seems u read the supplement provided by Hindu yesterday, me too was tempted to write an article like d one u wrote..! Enna panrathu nammaku dhan time illaye! ;)
Newyas, there are lotta changes in these 6 decades, d latter 20 yrs have made a real influence on the growth of India..There was a sit in 1991 to contact
IMF, the monetary fund in case the economy is in a distorted position. Slowly after the IT revolution, the GDP has gone up and hence the economy. Thanks to ppl like Narayan Murthy, the pioneer in the IT revoultion in India. The various turpitudes in our Mother country hurts me the most.!

The 1991 proposal to remove the so called Panchayat "RAJ" and to provide license and to open the doors for MNC's to make market in India ...

This is during the time of PV Narasimha Rao at the helm and then the current PM as the Finance Minister .. Till now India has developed , developing and making a huge mark in the global market with teh like of Tata's, Mittal , TCS , Infy ,Birla to name a few ...

My brother's friends in Canada were surprised that people from the same country don't understand one another's language!Thats India for you. :) We shouldn't rest on our laurels.Better to think on terms of "What we are yet to achieve??".The achievements can be our morale boosters for India 2020.

Hey Srihari thought provoking article.Keep up the good work.And Hindu's supplement on 15th is a collector's piece.

Am proud being an Indian...And there is any reason why anybody is not, I would support the person, as FACT is a FACT and it is true that people lack self-discipine starting from traffic rules to simple measures to keep places clean.
Still India is great,if u wanna realize that go watch "chak De India"...
