IN HYDERABAD

A must read for every person.



"I have three visions for India. In 3000 years of our history, people from all over the world have come and invaded us, captured our lands, conquered our minds. From Alexander onwards. The Greeks, the Turks, the Moguls, the Portuguese, the British, the French, the Dutch, all of them came and looted us, took over what was ours. Yet we have not done this to any other nation. We have not conquered anyone. We have not grabbed their land, their culture, their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them. Why? Because we respect the freedom of others. That is why my first vision is that of FREEDOM. I believe that India got its first vision of this in 1857, when we started the war of independence. It is this freedom that we must protect and nurture and build on. If we are not free, no one will respect us.



My second vision for India is DEVELOPMENT. For fifty years we have been a developing nation. It is time we see ourselves as a developed nation. We are among top 5 nations of the world in terms of GDP. We have 10 percent growth rate in most areas. Our poverty levels are falling. Our achievements are being globally recognized today. Yet we lack the self-confidence to see ourselves as a developed nation, self- reliant and self-assured. Isn't this incorrect?



I have a THIRD vision. India must stand up to the world. Because I believe that, unless India stands up to the world, no one will respect us. Only strength respects strength. We must be strong not only as a military power but also as an economic power. Both must go hand-in-hand. My good fortune was to have worked with three great minds. Dr. Vikram Sarabhai of the Dept. of space, Professor Satish Dhawan, who succeeded him and Dr.Brahm Prakash, father of nuclear material. I was lucky to have worked with all three of them closely and consider this the great opportunity of my life.



I see four milestones in my career:



Twenty years I spent in ISRO. I was given the opportunity to be the project director for India's first satellite launch vehicle, SLV3. The one that launched Rohini. These years played a very important role in my life of Scientist. After my ISRO years, I joined DRDO and got a chance to be the part of India's guided missile program. It was my second bliss when Agni met its mission requirements in 1994. The Dept. of Atomic Energy and DRDO had this tremendous partnership in the recent nuclear tests, on May 11 and 13. This was the third bliss. The joy of participating with my team in these nuclear tests and proving to the world that India can make it, that we are no longer a developing nation but one of them. It made me feel very proud as an Indian. The fact that we have now developed for Agni a re-entry structure, for which we have developed this new material. A Very light material called carbon-carbon. One day an orthopedic surgeon from Nizam Institute of Medical Sciences visited my laboratory. He lifted the material and found it so light that he took me to his hospital and showed me his patients.



There were these little girls and boys with heavy metallic calipers weighing over three Kg. each, dragging their feet around. He said to me: Please remove the pain of my patients. In three weeks, we made these floor reaction Orthosis 300-gram calipers and took them to the orthopedic center. The children didn't believe their eyes. From dragging around a three kg. Load on their legs, they could now move around! Their parents had tears in their eyes. That was my fourth bliss! Why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them.



Why?



· We are the first in milk production.

· We are number one in Remote sensing satellites.

· We are the second largest producer of wheat.

· We are the second largest producer of rice.



Look at Dr. Sudarshan; he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining, self driving unit. There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters.



I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert land into an orchid and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings, bombardments, deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried among other news. In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime. Why are we so NEGATIVE?



Another question: Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things?

We want foreign TVs, we want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology. Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not realize that self-respect comes with selfreliance?



I was in Hyderabad giving this lecture, when a 14 year old girl asked me for my autograph. I asked her what her goal in life is. She replied: I want to live in a developed India. For her, you and I will have to build this developed India. You must proclaim. India is not an under-developed nation; it is a highly developed nation. Do you have 10 minutes? Allow me to come back with a vengeance. Got 10 minutes for your country? If yes, then read;



Otherwise, choice is yours.



YOU say that our government is inefficient.

YOU say that our laws are too old.

YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.

YOU say that the phones don't work; the railways are a joke, The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination.

YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.

YOU say, say and say.

What do YOU do about it? Take a person on his way to Singapore.Give him a name - YOURS. Give him a face - YOURS. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground Links as they are. You pay $5 (approx. Rs.60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Peddler Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM.

YOU comeback to the parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your status identity. In Singapore you don't say anything,

DO YOU?

YOU wouldn't dare to eat in public during Ramadan, in Dubai.

YOU would not dare to go out without your head covered in Jeddah.

YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange in London at 10 pounds (Rs.650) a month to, "see to it that my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else."

YOU would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop, "Jaanta hai sala main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am?). I am so and so's son. Take your two bucks and get lost."

YOU wouldn't chuck an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and New Zealand.

Why don't YOU spit paan on the streets of Tokyo?

Why don't YOU use examination jockeys or buy fake certificates in Boston?

We are still talking of the same YOU.

YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw papers and cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you be the same here in India?



Once in an interview, the famous Ex-municipal commissioner of Bombay, Mr.Tinaikar, had a point to make. "Rich people's dogs are walked on the streets to leave their affluent droppings all over the place," he said. "And then the same people turn around to criticize and blame the authorities for inefficiency and dirty pavements. What do they expect the officers to do? Go down with a broom every time their dog feels the pressure in his bowels?



In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan. Will the Indian citizen do that here?" He's right. We go to the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility. We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do everything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms.



We want Indian Airlines and Air India to provide the best of food and toiletries but we are not going to stop pilfering at the least opportunity. This applies even to the staff who is known not to pass on the service to the public. When it comes to burning social issues Like those related to women, dowry, girl child and others, we make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse? "It's the whole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone forego my sons' rights to a dowry." So Who's going to change the system?



What does a system consist of? Very conveniently for us it consists of our neighbors, other households, other cities, other communities and the government. But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr. Clean to come along & work miracles for us with a majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away. Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run to England. When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and brought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rape the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is mortgaged to money. Dear Indians, The article is highly thought inductive, calls for a great deal of introspection and pricks one's conscience too....I am echoing J.F.Kennedy's words to his fellow Americans to relate to Indians.....



"ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR INDIA AND DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE INDIA WHAT AMERICA AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE TODAY"



Let's do what India needs from us. Forward this mail to each Indian For a change instead of sending Jokes or junk mails.



Thank you



Dr. A P J Abdul Kalaam

Honorable President of INDIA

I think Samsara has written many articles which are Bible type and taught at many great schools of thoughts from J to A. He clarifies and proves by his BS, HAHA,FYI etc!!! He Didn't even pay attention what others have said about 80-20, how/why can't it be some other figure?

Whatever His English be but he cannot prove 80-20 a common universal truth from Lusanne University. He uses English for BS and not proving a simple. May be he's experienced fellow at some big companies but I don't give a SHIT to Samsara!!! He's illogical in his answer.

Catchangel, Please prove it, I want to know???

e samsara bhai, gali sali chai naggardai ramro , ki kaso?
manche like lekhna deu na, you sabai ko sajha ho ke. personally gali garna chai aali maja aaye na kya
i am posting one more time:

what an article,
i say it was an opportunity for lots or us to open our eyes and listen what he says.
surely, "its not a must read for every person" but for persons who got interest to read it.

lots of us are here just to blindfold our eyes and entertain others by critisizing "dhotis"?
i doubt how many of us really do know the meaning of "dhoti". i understand number of indians are too buzy spreading "gandhagi" in our beloved country but its everywhere, itsnt it?
any big country likes to bully smallers ones, America does it, Russian do it, french, brits they all do it. But we dont care, We simply choose these country for better life and take their shit when we land in these countries.
Dr kalaam is so right. We need to learn from what he says. Do we except same words from Girija or Makune or even prachande? I bet they cant even write half of it and it would be just full of crap. Ask prachende what is satelite? you will see him runnin for his gun or something, thinking its somesort of weapon.

from other dear sajhausers, Its not india whos is bullying us, its some corrupted dhotis and their foreign policy. Its politics.
We need to bring up our country to a certain level, where we dont need to knock their doors everyday asking for ideas on how to run a country. Instead, we need to equally force our laws and policies to bring it to a certain tier.
Development is a key issue, but before we even start dreaming of "develpoing Nepal" or "developed Nepal< do i see it soon?", we gotta get our shit together. we need to root out all the dirt frorm Singhadarbar.we need some educated mofos instead of someone whos been in jain for 20 yrs and they deserve the post.
learn from it
We dont want to see USA/Mexicco,
i prefer USA/Canada

"unknown guy" chora, gali sali diye ko chuinna...tyo lato le bhujdaina bhane ke garne?? You say, "manche like lekhna deu na, you sabai ko sajha ho ke", and look what I did. I first posted that "A must read for all azzholes...Total Bullshit". What is the problem in that statement?? I felt this didn't apply to me or Nepal so I felt it was BS...Why da hell should I conform to someone else's beliefs and agree that this article is the bomb when I know that it DOESN'T APPLY TO ME AT ALL, WHICH THEREFORE PROVES THAT, FOR ME ITS TOTAL BS???

BTW, lato still cannot comprehend that the 80-20 rule is just an average assumption in statistics! hahahhahah He wants an answer as to why this came about! hahaha Ask the person who posted it...I'VE BEEN SAYING IT WASN'T ME AS PER MY PREVIOUS 4 POSTS. DON'T YOU GET IT??? HAHHAHAHAHAHHA YOU CRACK ME UP WITH YOUR UNINTELLIGENCE!!!

"BTW, lato still cannot comprehend that the 80-20 rule is just an average assumption in statistics! hahahhahah He wants an answer as to why this came about!"

Not as to why this came about, I want from a very long time, how you could deduce it in the context of Nepal and what are the variables, they have taken- EVEN IF THIS IS NOT YOUR POINT.

Unknown guy lai "UNINTELLIGENT" bhanna ali laz lagos babu timilai!!!! Aru lai evaluate garne timro kaam hoina baaaaaa!!!!

Im ok if u say Lato to me but not to any others. You may have experience or a Manager doesn't mean you are a Good Human.
