Nice thoughts all of you..
I would pin down Poverty as the number one issue, followed by Corruption, education, infrastructure and internal disturbances like Maoism and terrorism
Getting down to the 'Doing Part', here are my views on the top two..
1. Poverty- the root of all evil..this easily goes without saying. Created opportunity and a nice platform for Crime and corruption. Take care of this big daddy and we are already half way through the task.
2. Corruption- Lets be frank guys.. we all have been discussing corruption from like what Std. 8???..Trust me as far as i know..it has become a part of the value chain..to a point that it drives the economy in a way now. No matter what steps you take and what controls you put in place..that simply wont be enough..wanna know why??..ever wonder what is the means, ends and instrument for the 'C' word?
Power-is the means, Money- is the ends..and your INTEGRITY & VALUE SYSTEM is the Instrument!!.. We need to take care of the third one. How many of us here will pay a small tip to get our driving licenses faster or may be a 100 rupee mutual understanding agreement with the traffic police??
for example.
We need to make sure that a strong value system needs to be incorporated in our future generations for all of this to work but again..the word 'Value' will only remain a word if your stomachs are empty..right??...now this takes us right back to Poverty..
