But seriously...
I would also like to bring your attention to these shocking facts about india too...
-- Only 5% of Indian households enjoy 24-hour electricity.
-- Only 9% of Indian households have access to telephones.
-- 60% Indian households have no gas connections
-- 85% of Indian households do not have access to clean water
-- 70% children in India are severely malnourished
-- Only 51% Indians are literate. A person is termed as literate if he/she can read as well as write his/her name. The educational qualifications play no role to prove his/her literacy.

Now its been almost 58 yrs since india gained independence.... and yet we are far far away from providing these basic amenities to all Indians....till how many more future 5 year plans will the "Education for all" continue to be... it was supposed to be have done in 1970s itself....
Why do we want to bask in glory of our historic past... lets face the present reality !!

 

I would assume most people who have 1-2 hour power cuts are not included (thats a massive number)

Whats "clean water"? If its drinkable water out of one's taps, then i guess 15% of the people do have it

When i was 12, they did call me severely malnourished. That was because i was about 175 cm and 40 kg. I was as normal physically as you could get. In India (like other tropical areas), you dont need much nourishment to stay alive and "be normal". In colder climates, you do need much more, and because all these standards are set up there, you cant apply that to india. Sure, some percentage of children (aswell as adults) are malnourished but nothing close to THAT much i'd say.

As far as i remember, that statistic is from either 1991 or 95. Either way its pretty old.

And whats the past glory when all they talk about is kings and treasures and all that? Why dont we talk about Lalloo Prasad Yadav's might and glory now? :

 

Hmm,
just shows that we Indians have been complacent and non-agressive for centuries.

Damn, its in our blood: to be servants.

 

That's not as bad a thing as you make it out to be.

 

He he..too true. I remember this insane guy in my college who could play the Sweet Child of Mine solo behind his back.
BTW I'm from Assam as well..at least my village is there even though my parents speak Bengali.
Just one question (not trying to get into a fight)- Through my three years in Delhi Univ, I tried to make friends with a lot of people from the North-East and find out more about them, but they invariably preferred to stay only among themselves and were extremely aloof. I understand a lot of it could be because they've faced so many bad experiences and treated as outsiders in Delhi/Mumbai/any other city, but if someone tries to reach out? Are there solutions?

 

The greatest creation since the Mona Lisa :shock:

 

Ill tell u an Interesting story when we meet the next time


India has the world's largest railway platform in Kharagpur city :grin:
