Let me be optimistic

I was just browsing through my blog page and the first impression that i got of myself was of being a very pessimistic person. Which may not be entirely wrong. But as others i also do hope for better future for me for everyone around me, for my country and for everyone else.

I have found a lot of people criticizing indian policymakers and what they have done and as a result of that what india has achieved over last 58 years of indepence. Constructive criticizm is good and i would use a cliched DOHA

Nindak niyre rakhiye, AAngan kuti chabaya !
Bin saabon pani bina, nirmal kare subhaye !!

This is one of the famous dohas of most probably kabir. Which in essence means that you should critics around you who will tell you what you is correct or not.

Nice idea actually, but how many of us actually are able to take the criticizm in right sprits, i know a lot of people who shun away criticizm as politicians like govt. does to opposition.

Getting back to indian policymakers and what we have achieved. As i said in earlier post that the best idea is to see what you have achieved and to where have you progresses rather than comparing with others.

• Dont we have enough to eat today may be excess
  
• Our literacy % has risen to well above 60
• We are starting to make forays into world of Mnc's with a lot many indian companies doing great job.
• Success stories of IT companies is not unknown to anyone
  
• We are the outsourcing hub of the world and are being seen as the country of 21st century.

(Actually i dont remember too much of data to substantiate but if look from the perspective of such high population we have made considerable progress despite impediments like being one of the more corrupt societies, most uneducated politicians and lesser developed infrastructure.)

So what is the point!!!
The point is that we have made significant progress and it took USA 90 years to become a developed country, so give india atleast that many years. You will find the differnce.
I may seem to have contacted the current emotion of booming economy but what i want to talk about is raw facts and things we have done with huge population which 10 years ago was seen as burden has started to be seen as assest not in india but also in the world. And i am one of the elite of this lot. That is why i am more excited.
