The Decade that India defined

The title might have looked absurd but
we are at the gate of the dream project
India 2020 .... So how good was the
decade ... Actually this was the decade
that defined India and - India
defined.. ...To have a picture of it lets
have a quick flashback.. ..
I have compiled last ten years below
High tensions with pakistan amidst
kargil war and then parliament. ... .India
looked aggressive but never
acted ... .leave it to yell. ... Pakistan will
always be a problem for India .. .
India becoming a economical
outsourcing hub for American
companies ... .west came to know
where India lied on map. ...India to be
foreseen as a superpower .. .The world
woke up to the crucial role that India
play as the largest Democracy and a
dynamic economy... ..
And then there was shameful and
uneventful Godhra communal riots
which shook the nation ...nevertheless
we evolved out of those incidents very
remorsed and regretful. ... .we faced
natural calamities like earthquakes, first
in Gujarat and then in northern India
and the tsunami ... ..but we faced it all
with great zeal... .. and there on the
good side, we got our first female
president.. ...a very subtle electoral at
the centre. ... ..we shone as a sporting
power at the wotld stage this decade
with our best performances at various
international sporting events and
hosting commonwealth games .... .we
showed the world the real moon with
our lunar mission chandrayaan... ..we
brought oscars after a very long
time, thanks to A R Rehman and Rusool
puttukutty. ... Sensex reached the point
never before thought of
reach... ... .Indian women no longer
stacked up in kitchens and went up to
become Indra Nooyi,Pratibha
patil,Sania Mirza ... ... .revolutionary
mandate education act was
paased ... ... The once said ' weakest
prime minister of India ' rose to
become the most intellect and
respected leader in world
community.. .... ..
And the dark side is too like a flip of a
coin.. ..we heard of satyam
scam ... ..then came the telgi stamp
paper fraud which shook the stock
market ... ..the year 2010 in particular
can be called India 's national year of
scams. .... from 2G to CWG ... ..we heard
of city bank fraud too .... .
India landmarked its ' War on Terror'
after many blows terrorism razed on its
breast. ..26/ 11 was unforgettable. ..But
we still stand tough and rock hard. ....
And we still have the strongest talent of
them all and that is to have hope ... ..we
are ranked at top to be the most
hopeful country for the upcoming
decade and we ain 't fluke ... ..we are on
a rise but hurdles are there to
cross ... ... miles to go before i sleep . ...It ' ll
be hard to fight dead with the demons
like corruption ,unemployment and
their relatives but we'll rise above all
and it is this hope that keeps us to
believe that the dream of India 2020
seen by Sir Kalam will come true at the
end of this decade .. .... .
fairwell
