Why India is Still a Developing Country?

Inferiority Complex

Though lots of people from India are in high positions and ranks all over the world, the average Indians living in abroad are still having Inferiority complex. They tend to jump to the other culture of the country, where they are residing, to show their sincerity to the living country. I don’t say it is wrong. Learning new cultures and traditions are good. But the problem here is, they give up their root value. They forget their Indian culture. When I met some Indians here in Switzerland, I eagerly spoke to them. But shocked when few said, “I’m Indian, but I left India 30 years before. So I don’t have any touch with it anymore”. They even try to hide their identity as Indians, by changing their dressings and all life styles. They are yet to come out of their slavery mode. The British rule for 200 years taught them to obey and think low of them at all times.

Population & Bribes

India’s population is a non-stop, growing one. There was an old story. Once a king of a large kingdom got complaints that people were not getting the benefits fully, of any development plans announced by him. So he asked his minister the reason behind that. The minister brought an ice cream and gave it in the hands of king and asked to pass it to the person sitting next to him, until it reaches the person at the corner of the building. When the ice cream reached the last person, it was almost over. The reason behind is, there were lots of people in that building and before it reached the last person, it got melted and enjoyed by others in between.

In Switzerland, the government gives aid to those who are disabled, aged and jobless. Also it gives fund for children. Since the population is less, it is easy for this government to implement these types of helps. Indian population is too high for any benefits to reach them fully. Part of the money to support the plan will be shared by the politicians involved and rest will be swallowed by the authorities who need to implement the plans. What else will be left to do for the people?

Stolen Wealth

200 years of rule by British left India empty at the end. Everything was looted and stolen. There is nothing left out. If you wish to know more about the money, gold and diamonds stolen, read the article “The Stolen Wealth of India during British Rule”.

Education System

The base of the education system still followed in India was created during the British rule. During the slave life, India was introduced with the education system to create more slaves as clerks and assistants. It lacks thinking and creativity. I read a story somewhere. A teacher taught the kinder garden students “A – Apple, B – Ball, etc…” The next day, she conducted test. She asked the first student “A for?” and the student replied “Apple”. She gave an apple as gift to that kid. She asked the next student “B for?” That baby too wanted apple. So that kid replied “Big Apple”. What a great creativity? But you know what the teacher said? “Wrong. B is for Ball. Can’t you remember?” and didn’t appreciate the student’s creativity and different thinking. So, what that child will do from next class onwards. It will stop its own thinking and will just follow what the teacher taught and mug it up.

Dependency

Though Indians are shining in all fields, most of the companies where they are shining belong to western countries. So, any problems and issues faced by those countries will first affect India. The first people to lose job due to recessions will be Indians, who are spread all over the world working for various Multi National Companies (MNC).

Since I told all the negatives faced by India, doesn’t mean India lacks true Indians. We have great Indian souls, working for India, and will surely turn India into a developed country, soon in nearest future. I’ll do my level best as an Indian, to do something for my “Mother India”. If we compare the growth chart of India, in the past 50+ years after Independence, no other country was able to make it. We will reach our goal soon, besides whatever the negatives run behind us to stop us.
