Since past 2 years i have been hearing how china is on the fast track to becoming a superpower and am always thinking why are we lagging behind... why cant our government do what the chineses are doing....Building superb i nfrastructure,stringent population control rules,greater standard of living, reduction of poverty , unemployment and what not...
but a news a few days back openend my eyes that all this is being done at a great cost.
A chinese lady 8 months pregnant was made to forcibly abort her child because it was her second baby...Millions of people are made homeless in the name of developing infrastructure,No freedom of press (speech and expression) , no freedom to sell or buy what is yours...
True my nation does not have super infrastructure or is not on a fast track towards development but i feel FREE
in my country. i am not scared to express what i feel. true we also have a population that is beyond control
but we realize the value of life of a baby to a mother and her happiness even though its her fifth child. I have facebook, orkut or even sata banta and can write or speak whatever i want thru blogs or press.
We do not need to compare ourselves with anyone, We should be proud of whatever we have.
My country values humanity,freedom and love...the very basic essence of human life...I love my country and am proud to be an Indian.
