[24 October 2018] I see some posts here and there about how India is a poor country or how unorganized we are. While I agree with them, I only agree partially. I also see this negativity being used by communists to try and prevail their ideas of economy over the country.
To bust these communist agendas, I want to take you all to a picture painted by my grandfather about the times we, as Indians came from. Juxtapose that picture which he described (below) to your India today....
This was India then, a poor country left without even food to eat! Its not a question of who is responsible, though we know the Mughals and the British plundered the country. The real point is that we have pulled many people out of poverty. In fact the slow pace of progress is a result of Nehru Parivar's lack of vision. A lack of dictatorship/draconian communism has let the people progress. No matter what we think of Nehru, he was better than any communist leader. Same applies to any congress of the old times. To think that Congress under Sonia G and Rahul G has joined hands with communists, makes me laugh at those that call themselves congressmen. I mean wasn't congress opposed to communism and hence, a democracy established in India? How can they forget that in their blind hatred for Hindus and Hindu practices?
The motivation for the post was to break the myth prevalent among some of us that nothing can be done of India. We progressed despite many corrupt, inefficient political leaders post independence, we progressed despite the overpopulation issues, despite the deep scar of partition and subsequent terrorism from the neighbor. We are getting off of our debt. Democracy is working for us, just need to give power to the right people.
I think Mr. Modi is the best leader for India in the foreseeable future but that's an opinion. The above though, was/is a fact.

Me: What were you doing on August 15th, 1947? How do you think India has changed since then.
Grandfather: "(pauses a bit) I was travelling in a train from Rajahmundry to Visakhapatnam. The midnight before that dawn, it was announced india was independent. I was a teenager travelling to see my family in visakhapatnam. Everyone was happy that we achieved independence. In this part of the country, all laurels were thrown at congress party(he admires gandhi's personal characteristics).
Tuni is an important town in coastal andhrapradesh. Our train was going through that town. Just before the train stopped, on either side of the track, there were about 10000 people asking for food in the hope that people in the train, supposedly richer, would throw some food. Remember, the madras presidency had seen famine for the past 2-3 years by then. Tears kept rolling down my cheeks. Helplessness.
If you ask me has India changed, I would say, yes. Definitely yes. Its been slow but there has been progress. However, I feel people have grown more cunning and are duping others these days even more."
