Development in India is a hot burning issue, what with India hosting the CWG this year.
However, I don't think India will ever be classified as developed for the simple reason that the attitude of the people is absolutely hopeless. They care for nothing other than themselves and their families. They don't care tuppence for the country or the people.
You can hear people loudly abusing the politicians and the local leaders. They abuse the public facilities and the government and they abuse the country. "The whole system has to change," they complain loudly. Who will?
You.... Who else? It is only if every "you" out there takes up the responsibility to "change the system," that it will change. You should think twice before throwing paper on the road. You should stop spitting on the road. You should use the powers you get in a democracy to change things.
Don't like the people who rule your country? Go rule it yourself. Stand for elections, become a social worker, start an NGO or do something like that. Don't say the system and the politicians are not all right.
It is all about "YOU" n "YOU" n"YOU". No one else. You can't sit at home and complain loudly about the condition of the road. You can't let your dog shit everywhere and then expect the Corporation to clean it up. You can't tell that the city has no traffic sense when you skip a signal in the middle of the night. You can't blame the police when you left your backdoor open through the night. YOU CAN'T.
If you want to change everything, you must take the initiative. Don't ever say only one man can't do anything. There are individuals who have changed the world. At least the world around them, if not the whole world.
NEVER SAY NEVER
NEVER SAY I CAN'T
NEVER SAY THE SYSTEM HAS TO CHANGE
IT IS YOU WHO HAS TO CHANGE WITH THE SYSTEM, NOT THE SYSTEM WITH YOU.
