When one goes to some functions where Indian diplomats are around,
one hear the usual bragging..about NRI success stories and indirectly
hinting it is all due to the foresight and potential of Indian netas and babus.
I can say with absolute frankness, that these are plain lies. If India
today succeeded abroad, it is due to Indians in the private sector working
hard in their host nations and making a name for themselves.
If India's IT sector is a success story, it had nothing to do with the
stagnant irrelevant Planning Commission, which for over 50 years
have sat on their butts drawing theories and policies assuring the
fabled Hindu rate of growth : 3 % per annum.
These planners did nothing to nurture the IT sector in India. In fact they
never even saw the potential. In fact they were not even awake to see the
potential. Even today, they like to go around blaming all their failures not
on their incompetence but on 'democracy'.
Let credit be given where it is due.
To the hard working Indian NRI and others like him.
Let discredit be given where it is due.
To the Planning Commission, to the IAS, IFS babus and the fossil netas
who ran the country and made it what it is. Ran it down to the ground.
In the words of late IS Johar, the famous comedian of Indian movies.
" INDIA - a first class nation made second class by third class leaders"
