Congratulations on 79th Indian Independence Day Celebrations

 

Time To Reflect :- 

Today we celebrate79th Indian Independence day as the world's largest democracy. Lets look back and review  what we have achieved as independent Bharat and the challenges that lie ahead of us. We have come a long way as a nation. Looking back in time it is important to note

that  Indian civilization has a rich history replete with lessons to be remembered by the citizens. What we have achieved in quantitative terms includes accelerated adoption of technology, improved financial inclusion and enhanced pace of infrastructure development. As we march towards improving the quality of agriculture produce, self reliance in meeting defense requirements , tapping into renewable energy resources and burgeoning middle class. With a deep and progressive focus on development initiatives, to name a few such as Viksit Bharat, Make In India, Startup India, Atmanirbhar Bharat, Swacch Bharat Mission, Digital India, Ayushman Bharat, Crop Insurance Scheme, e-Courts and Khelo India, we are just beginning to realize our true potential as a nation. All these and many more factors fueling domestic consumption and international trade catapulting rapid economic growth.

Major Challenges That Lie Ahead

At this stage the major challenges that lie ahead are working towards awakening the national patriotic conscience at scale, imbibing respect for the rights of fellow citizens and zero tolerance for narratives that tend to jeopardize national integrity, security, sovereignty and unity . This would mean that there needs to be a systemic approach towards developing discerning capabilities of citizens to be able to sense the motives behind their own actions as well as the actions of leaders and influencers before getting swayed to extreme positions that are not conducive to nation's wellbeing. This would mean a true democratic representation of people's voice in public offices , where the public is trained to take informed decision on what is good for the nation.

Factors Having Potential To Turn The Wheel

Such a systemic approach would be possible only when the rouge elements are dealt with firmly and decisively. Need of the hour is to have very strict law enforcement system and those attempting to directly or indirectly sabotage interests of the nation must be dealt with relentlessly. All this will call for strong political will. The political will can be implemented effectively only when the citizens in responsible positions practice impeccable integrity. All this in-fact leads to an interdependent cyclical chain of factors having the potential to turn the wheel of justice, equality, economic prosperity , development and growth for accomplishing the vision of Viksit Bharat @ 2047.

Upgrade Your Behavior for Personal Growth & Prosperity

                        When interacting with others, most of us have this approach of taking others for granted. We generally are too obsessed with our own liking, disliking, goals, aspirations, plans, dreams and the list has no end. But this approach can only take us down the hill and pretty fast. It might seem that being self centered is in our long term interest but this is like viewing distorted reality.                        Anything that we feel is only for us , and under the influence of such thoughts if we go on antagonizing others around us, we are surely inviting trouble for ourselves. When that problem is going to surface?, this  is just a matter of time but it certainly would.                            The social approach of being considerate & kind , as well as adhering to th...
