Hi Guys Frankly speaking,at the first instance,I was impressed by Madhu's article.After going through it twice and thrice,I find Madhu,more or less,a 'masala' writer'.She is more inclined for giving,tit for tat.Infact the views by some of our batchmates seem to be more mature,realistic and practical.The real picture of any country (and particularly India),can never be judged by such mundane examples and references,you need a broader canvas. On one hand India is said to be having a dynamic and vibrant economy,on the other hand it has got max. no people living below the poverty line. India is a country,where people of all religions,faiths,languages,have been living together from centuries,but we also witness communal riots,in some or the other part of the country daily,on regular basis. Indian brains are shaking the whole world and we still have low literacy rate. Though we claim to be self-sufficient in food grains,but still thousands die cos of hunger and starvation. India is considered as a land of oppertunities,and we have highest no. of unemployed youth in the world. Though we boast a lot about our medical facilities,but we also have a very high infant mortality rate. India is seen as a strong emerging nation at the sporting arena too,but we still have a long way to go. We talk a lot about women empowerment,but are unable to control the dowry-deaths and the female/male ratio. I think Shelly rightly pointed that there are so many India's,co-existing. It is certainly not India-bashing,to know you weaknesses and short comings,and then honestly focus your self in eliminating them.

This was not an article Madhu wrote about the US but was responding to a letter she received. I think she was right in what she did.. Gone are those Gandian days when if someone slaps you, you put the other cheek forward. GOD bless India !!!!!

The reality lies in the fact that there are many India's now. Pointing out what ails each society does not make the other better, does it. Pretty immature reply by Madhu Trehan , I think. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "EX,GHPS,1988,V.V" group.
