India, been a developing country for quite some time now isn't it ?

I have been asking around a lot of people, entrepreneurs, teachers, CEO's, students and people of wisdom the same question, When is India going to be called a Developed country ? - I got a startling result. More than 75.54% ( it was a real calculation folks ) of people said, "NEVER".

It was a sunny morning, and the men of the town go to the site, the site of what would remain the tallest man made building for the oncoming 4000 years - the pyramid of Giza. Egypt was a mighty empire, one of the most developed civilizations of the world and they were showing off their prowess in civil engineering by building the gigantic monument. Little did they know that far across the globe, there are other such civilizations in India building temples and jumping leaps in literature. What were the Europeans doing then, probably trying to join two words together and form a language.

It's true that when the vedas were written, in most other races of the world there wasn't even a recognizable language, that when the Nalanda University was thriving, most of Europe was still making farming settlements. The Vimana Sastra, the earliest account of a flying machine, possibly the earliest published piece of work on aviation technology, is to this day a wonder to scientists. Some of the philosophy mentioned in the vedas are still not understood and there is a huge research going on, in neolithic and pre-neolithic Indian culture because many believe that scientists those who are working on stuff ranging from image processing to electricity to particle physics to astronomy are just rediscovering things that the Indians and Egyptians already knew. I can keep on providing evidence as to how mighty the two empires of India and Egypt were. What more, both the civilizations had a flourishing trade between them. Also, don't forget the Chera Chola and the Pandiyas of the Dravidian civilizations.

So what happened to the super-power that was once the "empire". Well, obviously Europe grew at the same time India fell, which was possibly due to either climatic changes or due to a failure of trade between India and Egypt and Mesopotamia. But what we do know happened was that Europe gained power both in land and in technology and they started colonizing the entire world. We all know how we fought for our freedom and how we achieved it. But did we really achieve it ?

True, America got it's independence in 1776 as compared to India in 1947, but Singapore got it's independence in 1965. How is it that they are far more developed country than India is ?

We all know how much the education in India sucks. Irrespective of what we think, what we are told by our parents, it is a fact that apart from some schools like the IIT's there aren't many schools that provide quality education. I am from Anna University, and I am telling the educatin there is simply poor. There is no other word for it. When I started doing my Graduate education here in ASU, I realize how much I should have learnt in my undergrad and how good the others are. It was a pain for me to realize, and that's when I started seeing the big picture.

Ok so the two universities that I have been under and I know, Anna University and Arizona State University, what is the difference, lets start there. Jerusalem College of Engineering has access only to IEEE, and that too the subscription ended in 1998. ASU has access to over 15000 research databases. If only students have interest in studying will they be able to develop technology for the country and only then will students develop.

Ok what do I want to say from all this ? I have been writing this blog for days now, trying to complete it in a proper way, not knowing how to convey my ideas delicately. I think I don't care much anymore. So here we go,

Indians are the modern idea of slaves. Earlier the slaves are people who are people of physical energy, because labour is what was required. Slaves were "outsourced" and made to work. The modern concept of slavery is Outsourcing. There are thousands of IT companies in India. What do they do ? They are a portal through which Indian minds are sold for corporates who makes us work on small areas of projects in small groups, so that we won't know what is fully going on. On a larger picture Indians are the modern version of slaves and brainwashing is the modern version of slavery. India is a fallen empire. An empire which will not grow back unless their people understand, that they are SLAVES.
