Now as the new millenium commences, a different form of world is uploaded.This enhanced world starts from the silicon chip smaller than an ant to the myths of the ever-expanding universe.And as the scope for development increase, India has made its mark... politically, powerfully, intellectually and spiritually !
Back in 1947, when India won independence, it had merely become a free country. It had no great asset, in fact, it was like some backward African country, totally looted of wealth, with lack of resources, wide social and economic gaps which seemd impossible to be bridged, as also with a status as good as 'bankrupt' from thw World Bank. But not even a century has passed, that India has regained her former status of a golden sparrow. She is now firm in all the fields of power, politics and resources. She has made a witty use of her unually excess population. By increasing industries and encouraging entrepreneurs, she also gave the daily bread to crores of jobless youth. More work led to higher prosperity. Thus, slowly but steadily gaining power, today India stands tall in the world, with global eyes focussed on her and her strategies. The most successful democracy as she is, India now stands as the first country to successfully face the countries of the world, considering all of them as her friends. Even in times of calamities like the tsunamis, India politely rejected international help and proved its newly gained competency and self-sufficience.
India is gaining a powerful stand in the main economic sector too. The sensex has quadrupled in just a matter if 5 years, which undoubtedly is amazing for a country's development. If such continues the development, it is estimated that India would take over the USA by 2020.!! The main share goes to the emerging IT sector. India also plays the proud motherland of the 26 of the world's 729 billionaires !
India has always, and so also is currently been playing the role of a giver. Not only in terms of humanity, but also for spirituality, unity and morality. Though the external lifestyle of Indians has adapted to the changing globe, their genes have not. Indians still value feelings. They do not count their living only fot money or fame but mainly for their own loved ones, their society who made them, the national personalities who inspired them, their country for whom their blood urges and also for their respect for one another. The rich Indin culture is the root of their mental strength. Indians have made it possible for India, the honourable postion, from the earlier one that of a helpless shackled prisoner; and this has been attained only through untiring efforts.
At the golden hour of India's independence, ie, on 15th August 1947, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had quoted, "Long years ago, we made a tryst with destiny. And now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge; not wholly or in full measure, but substantially... At this hour, when the world sleeps, India awakes to life and freedom !!"
And so did India, by the virtue of her thousand glorious sons ! Now we pledge to carry on the above promise, to redeem it to full measure... to bring India to high lights, to create an aura of her culture, to create a majesty of her existence, and to create the India-of your-and-my dreams !
So, as our motherland creates a place in history, and takes charge of the new millenium, let us all come together and dream high, strive hard, aim great...!
When something high is aimed, a percent of it is gained...
And afterall, low aim is a crime, right?
Jai Hind !

You are absolutely right about pointing out to the invaluable wealth that India has and has given to the world time and time again, the gift of Spirituality! Swami Vivekananda used to say - "In order of importance giving spiritual knowledge to someone is the highest, then comes giving secular knowledge, then comes feeding a hungry person ..." While it may sound great that we have made the mark in the new millennium, but I think it would be just to say that we have seen the potential and there is a lot of work to do. Last several hundreds of years have put us in a situation where we forgot about this wealth, but as you say, it is flowing in our blood and time is NOW that we are waking up, we HAVE TO wake up and first drink this potion ourselves, build ourselves strong both spiritually and materially and then alone can we do some good to the world!
Rightly said. India is playing a vital role in changing the way others are looking at Asian country for business prospect. The landscape of Indian business is evolving at the speed of light. The ideologies and principles of the younger generation are more refined and businesses are going beyond the usual mapping defined a decade ago. Foreign investors are looking at India as a potential market for growing their business. Many young entrepreneurs like Ritesh agarwal, Varun Manian if Radiance realty are taking their business to new geographies and are also attracting foreign investments
