60^th year of Indian independence – trying to reflect back

 India being a country more than 5000 years of culture and tradition filled with natural resources for years to come in, this is one question, which stayed in my mind for years and of-course left unanswered.

 What have we achieved in the last 60 years, are we really free and are we heading to the right direction. 

Few highlights which more or less give one a fairly answers  Our growth in information technology, telecom, retail business, aviation, automobile for instance u name it and India is there.

 We are the 4^th largest economy in the world and just next to USA, China, and Japan. Thanks to all NRI who are pumping so much of foreign exchange that we are now the fifth largest foreign exchange reserves in the world.

 Though we have so much of foreign investment we still have a relatively poor infrastructure.

  The gap between the richer and the poorer have still been increasing.

 With all the natural resources that we have and self sufficient for food, our farmers still commit suicide for unable to pay their debts.

 Increase number of foreign investment and technology in the country the crime rates have substantially increased.

  By saying this I hope to put in a serious thought in the readers mind to help and contribute which helps every one to get our country move one step ahead.

 Vande Mataram.

There is this good story, which I read some time back about “what money can do”.

The story goes this way.

There is this priest who comes running to the road from the bushes of a dense forest shouting “DEATH DEATH” . Three brothers who were passing by happen to check with the priest as to what happened and the priest points his finger towards the thick bush and runs away.

Out of curiosity the three brothers get inside the bush and to there surprise finds a bag full of gold coins. The three brothers were delighted and thinks that how stupid the priest could be. They manage to carry the bag of gold coins to their residence, on there way back since they were hungry they ask one of the brothers to get some food to eat while the other two take care of bag.

The two brothers who were taking care of the bag decides to kill the third one so that they can enjoy his share of gold coins too. The third brother comes with some fruits for the other two and the two brothers kills the third one as per the plan. They eat the fruit, which the brother had brought so that they can continue their journey back home. But the third brother had put some poison in the fruit that he had brought and had planned to kill both of his brothers so that he can enjoy the bag of gold coins.

Finally, all the three brothers died with out being able enjoy even a single gold coin.

As the title says what money can do, think about it!
