Thinking over India : Lack of innovation


News after news I sallow so much of dark moral through my eyes every day that it become so common to ignore a pity corrupt incident happening in my conscious vicinity. A youngster is like a boiling pot of water with so less space to express and blow out its building pressure. In country like ours the motivations are highly skewed and the race to stand at the same place is to fast that innovation don't get enough oxygen to fill their lungs. Money is just an booster to any cause to take place but the diversity in the motivations is a great requirement. Surely following is not a bad option but trying out new things is also a need of hour in our country.

Recently a bill has been passed to boost the economy of India by foreign investment, hitting the news with a name of FDI. People are shouting and fighting so much over the the economical consequences of the decisions but a small significance is given to the reason that why do we reached to this situation at all? After the independence we survived for 44 years without any foreign investment shouting the slogans of Swadeshi mentality. However after opening our markets to foreign world till some extent we can't even survive for 20 years. This decision has a good probability, and evidences as well for the desperate measure of ruling party for its short term goal. As a citizen I think this was a bad mentality and will have deleterious effect on our economy in long run.

However the question remains the same that why reached this point. I believe that lack of motivation followed by lack of innovation always make the economy to end-up this way. Our country's investment in education, research and health care is too less that it didn't left a great scar from a very long time. The lack of respect and support for an emerging innovation has led us to a situation where a youngster with a degree always look for a company or government to create employment for them which result to a desperate situation. The feeling of self sufficiency never arise through the knowledge it has gained in that course of time.
