New Post (57: What’s holding India back ?
Indian society suffers from multiple fractures.
1. Caste is neither a strength nor a weakness.
BUT voting for a candidate based on their caste affiliation is a weakness.
2. Religion is neither a strength nor a weakness.
BUT deciding who to hate and who to like based on their religious affiliation is a weakness.
3. Language (& community) is neither a strength nor a weakness.
BUT making decisions based on who is welcome and who is not based on their language (& community) affiliation is a weakness.
So, what’s holding India back ? (from it’s great promise)
NOT India’s diversity. It’s how Indian’s themselves interpret this diversity …and what they choose to do with this diversity...
Tragically, what is India's greatest strength has been "actively" morphed into it's worst weakness !
The youth of India can stem this rot. “Only” they can. One generation can make all the difference. Will they ? I remain an incurable optimist.
