Hi friends,
Gandhiji advocated boycotting foreign goods to revitalize the Indian economy. But we are using many foreign items in our daily life which are produced with foreign technology. It looks as if we lack technology. This is the negative effect of liberalization. Instead of competing with foreign goods, people madly went for it.
In the US, in malls like IKEA, Walmart, etc. I find products from small countries like Cambodia, Vietnam, Africa, Thailand, etc. Only in shops run by Indians, home food products are sold and only Indians buy them. Indian products are not sold due to poor quality and high prices.
If our products are exported, we get foreign exchange. Our products should be competitive in quality and price. The quality of our product should be of high standards. Our products should be sold throughout the world. To achieve this, Our technology should improve through education.
In India, only IIT, IIM, NIT, and IISc are good in education. In the US, Stanford, Harvard, and many Universities are of a high standard. We should also improve and reach their level. There is no reservation in education in the US. Merit alone counts. Govt. schools are of a high standard and are free.
Life-style, education, research, technology, cleanliness, discipline, good roads, obeying traffic rules, respecting elders, minding one's business, privacy, women's empowerment, work ethics, hero-worshiping, gossip-mongering, dress code, obeying queue are the areas we have to learn from them.
Like our Aadhaar, they have a Social Security Number. It contains every detail of the citizen. There are grades and people try to reach better grades to get Govt. benefits. Even a small mistake in driving is entered in the SSN and the grade is affected. Our Aadhaar should also be designed on similar lines.
The present generation has 4 difficult tasks. 1. To own a house. 2. To educate their children 3. Medical expenses of four parents. 4. To invest towards their retired life. To provide for these expenses, one has to save about 5 crores in 25 years @ 20 lakhs per annum or 2 lakhs per month. One has to sacrifice a lot to go up in life.
I am 72. I read books. I wear cotton white dhoti, half shirt, and innerwear. I don't smoke or drink alcohol. I don't see TV or worship cinema heroes or talk gossip. I live for my children. I am a responsible father, husband, and citizen. Honesty, hard work, good education, better roads, thrift in spending, corruption less are the need of the hour. GOD BLESS THIS GREAT COUNTRY.
