Happy Independence Day
Nagaraju
“India is a Nation -
where Pizza reaches home faster than Ambulance and Police!
where you get Car Loan @ 6% but Education Loan @ 12%!
where Rice is Rs.4 but Sim card is Rs.10!
Where a millionaire can buy a cricket team instead of donating the money to any charity,Where the footwear, we wear ,are sold in AC showrooms, but vegetables, that we eat, are sold on the footpath,
Where everybody wants to be famous but nobody wants to follow the path to be famous,
Where we make lemon juices with artificial flavours and dish wash liquids with real lemon.
A nation where people standing at a tea stall
reading an article in a newspaper about child labour can be heard saying
"Yaar, bacchho se kaam karwane walo ko to faansi pe chadha dena
chaahiye" (People who use child labour should be hanged) and then they
shout "Oye, CHHOTU 3 chai la!"
This really sums up the pragmatic and entrepreneurial spirit of India that is being celebrated world over. Several books have been dedicated to it by business schools in the US.
What makes the point perhaps even more forcefully are the two news snippets below -
According to the World Economic Forum’s Business Competitiveness Report 2010-11 India has dropped two places to rank 59 because of lack of education, health and infrastructure. At the same time, China has overtaken two countries to rise to number 27 in the rankings. In stark contrast to its poor competitiveness, India is seen as an attractive destination for FDI. It is second only to China in terms of top destinations for foreign capital. Listen to any fund manager selling his unique product with a pick of diverse Indian companies; they make equities in India sound safer than my FDs in the RBI.
