I think this is not the forum to write such things. However, since the matter has come up, it is better to add our weight behind it. One can not disagree less that all the unnecessary and uncalled for utterances must be stopped. What a great wastage of opportunity. People will never forgive, if the God given opportunity is lost. Instead give ideas for development, which is the plank of the present government. This initiative of asking feedback from people itself is an extraordinary idea. The common man if Hindu, is no less Hindu and also knows about the great Indian cultural heritage, Ramayan, Mahabharat, their value systems etc, but just talking about it without practicing its principles will not feed us now or help in any way. Our neighboring countries are overtaking us even in service industries. It is going to be turbulent times - the environment - air, water, soil ... is getting polluted, there is crisis for energy, severe health problems - stress, pollution and food adulteration related, poor roads, cities are congested, erosion in value system so on and so forth. The unnecessary deviations sometimes makes common man to believe with Mr. Katju's one of the famous statements (former supreme court chief justice). Just 3 days back I visited a local factory in Karnataka and found that some machineries were imported from Vietnam, whereas 25 years back(1989) when I had attended a FAO conference in China, one of the senior participants was so much thankful to India for the help offered by India to them during their troubled times. Looking back, this made me to think, how far then Vietnam has moved ahead in last 25 years?. India wake up. It is the time of competitiveness. Make or break. That is why our PM has the slogan "Make in India". It has been also reported that if we don't make in India, within 10 years India's electronics import bill (foreign exchange) will cross the bill on oil import(That is why an electronic manufacturing corridor has been developed, it is learnt). Also we will lose competitive edge. We are boasting of our youth population, where will be the jobs for them? Hence, work as a team - India will succeed, it will be a superpower, no doubt. The best example is the precise launch to Mars in first attempt. Indian Engineers when given challenge of working on advanced technology they have been successful. Sorry for deviating from the instructions, however, expressing individual worries as I am worried for the future.
