India of My Dreams
And dealing with these challenges effectively would be the ideal India for a vast majority of the Indian population.
History and Culture
The Indian Civilization is one of the oldest civilizations of the world. It originates from the Indus Valley Civilization. It was a very prosperous civilization that developed the roots for many streams of civilized life including architecture, social behaviour, science, pottery, tool-making, geography, agriculture, etc. The early Indian culture has been the birth-place of many discovering and inventions in the fields of Medicine [Ayurveda], Yoga, Astronomy, Politics [Chanakya-Neeti], Philosophy, Spirituality [Upanishads], etc. India has a rich history and culture in every aspect.
All Indians are proud of their prosperous, rich and intellectually advanced history and culture. It would be great to see this history and culture represented positively in the India of today. The rich Indian culture has many elements that can have solutions to today’s problems in the Indian and the Global society.
It would make every Indian proud to see the values and learning from its culture and history spread positively across the world. Whereby, the world recognizes and looks upon proudly on all aspects of Indian heritage.
Basic needs for all
There are still vast sections of the Indian population who do not have access to basic needs of clean water, good food, healthy housing and sanitation. The ‘India of my dreams’ will have prioritized correcting this factor above all other factors of development. Happiness for every human being begins with the basic needs being met. A happy country consists of a happy population.
An ideal India would have excellent facilities and reserve plans in place so that the entire Indian population, in all corners of the country has complete and secured access to clean drinking water, good food resources, hygiene facilities, medical care, comfortable housing and sanitation. The Indian administration should be prioritizing these factors above all else and ensuring that they are consolidated in all sections of society.
Infrastructure and Quality of Life
One of the main reasons that the Indian society fails in competing on the global scene today is the lack of international level infrastructure facilities. There is great potential for intellectual growth in the Indian population. It requires commitment from the Indian administration to support its population with confident and reliable infrastructure.
An ideal India will have a world-class network of means of transportation, reliable public transport and reliable supply of power, water, internet, etc. There will be reliable public transport facilities of trains and buses across all parts of the country. Affordable waterways travel and air travel will be available and accessible to the vast majority of the Indian population: both urban and rural. Reliable electric power and other energy resources will be available in all cities and villages of India.
The infrastructure for all professions including for businesses, agriculture and modern professions will be affordable and available to the entire Indian population. So that all citizens can achieve their full potential in terms of work satisfaction and career or business growth.
India will be an example to the world in terms of business, financial growth and economic development.
International Role, Strategy and Positioning
Today the ‘Indian’ brand is looked down upon in various parts of the globalized world. The strategic international relationships of India as a country are fractured and immature in various parts of the world.
It will be a leader for representing values of global co-operation, global peace and harmony. India will be strategically positioned as peaceful negotiator in all global conflicts. India will be a leader that exhibits the value of Economic Growth for one and all, based on the principles of Global Collaboration and International Unity of Purpose.
Spirituality and Meditation
Traditionally, India is a land of Spiritual Growth and Understanding. But the application of this rich history is lacking in today’s Indian Society.
In an ideal India, the rich Spiritual Practices and Meditation techniques will be implemented in the daily lives of the entire Indian population. The population will be proud to use and implement these in their daily lives. While the rest of the world looks upon India as a Spiritual guide, India will stand-up to this role and ‘Walk the Talk’ of Spiritual Growth in its entire population.
An Indian will exhibit and teach the values of Meditation and Spiritual Practices.
Being an Indian will mean being a uniquely ‘happy and prosperous individual’ in a wholesome way.
Conclusion
The ‘India of my dreams’ for every Indian represents a harmonious representation of its rich culture, values of global peace, global leadership, economic development and spiritual vision on the global scene.
