Applying "Theory of others" how India can become superpower?

India is dreaming of being a superpower in the next 10 years. The dream seems great, as it always is. Everybody will love it if it really happens so. On the doorsteps of the new decade, I wondered if this dream practical or just a hype? The last decade has been of scams of extreme scales. If there is so much so money with the corporate to bribe up Ministers to the level unthinkable, one can conclude India really is loaded with wealth to acquire greater wealth. And it seems to be a fact though the wealth is limited to certain groups. The thirst unquenchable is still thriving in the greedy leaders those are originally hailing from the communities those were deprived of wealth in the past. Or to put this up in a different way, their imagination of wealth was limited to the extent that had lesser driving force to cross the limitations of social/ethical barriers. But now we have a different picture that shows ethics/morals have been reduced to the petty level so that each and one can easily trample them, to boast of their supremacy over people in general.

However, the effect of these happenings, in the present decade we have entered into, could be far severe…irreparable that can plunge entire Indian society into an unfathomable crevasse from where even popping up will be impossible.

I am not trying here to be pessimistic. I just want to discuss why we should become a superpower and how and why we cannot become the superpower and how?

To begin with, let us discuss how we cannot become a superpower?

The few points I think important are listed below:

1. There is no decentralized economic development plan. Most of the regions, though having the ability to develop in agriculture/industry/new technologies, have been neglected. The effect is people are migrating from one to other places where they can find scope to their skills…this creating unnecessary strife between people. Most of the social evils have been popping up frequently because of over-populated and over-industrialized cities. 

2. This has given rise to the theory of “Outsiders”…To explain this in a simple way (psychology) the person who already has occupied a seat on the train and the person who just has been jumped into the train…and the looks they exchange…and those just could not embark on the train…what they do think…people coming into the town (Or even in any org.) from other area are despised thus creating another kind of psycho-social divide, which converts into a complex that affects the original creativity.

3. Every society needs the leaders those follow at-least basic morals, no matter even if they are in the context of present reality, India hardly have such leaders.

4. Indians mostly are (including intellectuals) drowned in the sentiment of nostalgia…and this has created another trouble. The politics of caste and creed is influencing this sentiment. Everybody is an attempt to prove how their forefathers were great in the past and how the history told is wrong…vis a vis the theory of age-old oppression is being used to counter this supremacist theory in this attempt to have another divide and is being nourished, which is harmful to the further progress.

5. When the theory of “Otherness…” is so much so prominent in India, it makes cohesive progress almost impossible. Because of fallacies of the past, it is going to be almost impossible to have a united vision that makes a country “Country”.

6. India boast of technological progress…but still it is dependent on other countries for sophisticated modern weapons, planes, submarines, and even on software platforms. If India today is good at intellectual labor, it is not taking much into the consideration the possible/emerging threats from other countries.

7. Because of the population, this seems to be a positive point for a limited period; Indians are helping other capitalist countries to grow, becoming just a market for them. We need to become manufacturing hub with greater efforts so that the over a certain span of the time, as Indian subcontinent becomes overflowed with the local quality goods/consumables in the forthcoming period. This will give an opportunity to become an exporter of the surplus goods at cheaper prices. But presently India is being used as a marketplace and not manufacturing base. This is harmful for Indian economy in longer period.


8. India, as a country, has lost its ground on the basis of religious sentiment, though few segments are in an attempt to revive it in a suitable manner.


I have quoted very a few points as above. Now I would like to propose how India can become a superpower:

1. We need to have another agriculture revolution that is and will be all the time lifeline of the humane being.

2. We need to unite, irrespective of caste and creed, irrespective of what stories of our ancient past are being told.

3. We need to replace the theory of others with the Theory of Oneness irrespective of socio-cultural differences. In fact, we need the theory of “One-ness” on every ground…including religious/racial/social/political. However, I do agree that this is almost impossible as supremacist elements have become so-much-so prominent. We need to have a social plan to fight against such elements.

5. We need to have decentralized economic policies. If Bihar till present CM, was not on verge of progress, it does means that Central Government is lacking in applying real force.

6. We need industrialization in J & K,   North-Eastern states so that the employment is created at a larger level, no matter whether Government has to suffer loss…(BETTER TO SPEND 1 BILLION EVERY YEAR ON INDUSTRIALIZATION THAN SPENDING 4 BILLION ON ARMY.)

7. We need to promote our own techniques, may it be in intellectual properties, food technology or all that has got market…but we have failed in marketing.

8. As a society, in general, we need to change our aptitude and have to become progressive, industrious and innovative in every field.

I have reasoned on how and how we cannot become a superpower. I request all of you earnestly to think over this and discuss seriously.

Thanks.
