No geographical neighbour has such large scale growth 
 China....................

china is going good, but so many of its neighbours are not doing this bad - japan, south korea, taiwan, mongolia, etc.

India is truly different

India is truly different- Grapevine

Whenever I read foreign media outlets, India is the new Asian Tiger that will outpace most emerging economies in growth. But Indian media and Indian people act like India is the worst place to be.

The dichotomy is extremely confusing. Why is it that foreign media coverage on our economy is more favourable than our own hopes and aspirations from this country?

PS: I am really big on Indian Exceptionalism, the belief that India's economic development and trajectory are unique or exceptional compared to other nations, driven by our large and diverse population, thriving middle class, our entrepreneurial spirit, and the emphasis on technology and innovation.

Why do Indians hate India?

Lack of opportunities, too much competition and no support from government (unless you know someone who knows someone) 
  
 It is just not India, you speak with natives of other countries they will not paint rosy pictures. Happiest country Finland has such gloom in population and they accept it

Incredible India!

I am in shock that the Canadian PM, in the Canadian Parliament no less has alleged that India has eliminated a khalistani on Canadian soil. 
I still remember the days, when the single greatest attack on the soul of the country took place in Mumbai on 26/11, all we could do was establish backchannel diplomacy with the likes of the US to get Pakistan to 'calm down'. Not a single bullet was fired in return in a nation that perceived our weak national security as par for the course, getting the Congress led UPA that presided over this moment of unparalleled humiliation, a thumping verdict in 2009. That was an India where we would lament the lack of credible retaliation options including Covert Ops. It was often stated that IK Gujral rolled back R&AW operations outside the country as an excuse for our lack. Although, no action was taken to initiate the operations again. NONE. But excuses were ready should failures occur again.

That India of my childhood, seems like a distant past. When URI and Balakot happened, we crossed the LoC and launched Spl Ops to impose rising costs upon Pakistani aggression. Khalistani or old thoroughbred battle hardened Islamic Jihad commanders in Pakistan or PoK are being neutralized, further raising costs to threatening Indian interests. 

This is not the India I grew up in. 2004-14, when we ought to have taken off, came a pauper after the initial global liquidity fuelled growth from 04-07. Congress went on a far left loony socialistic binge, with massive amounts of debt given to Crony Industrialist friends leading to an NPA crisis which led to Private investment paralysis, plummeting growth further, and inflation hitting the skies. 

But now, we are poised for a decade or two of rapid, high quality, solid economic growth. All of these factors combine to bolster our Gross National Power like never before. 

We were supposed to be poor, timid and helpless. We pursued sympathy over strength. But I guess, this is no longer the India we knew of.

This is NOT the India I grew up in

This is not the India I grew up, where there was some trust left between religious communities and people were mostly tolerant of each other. Indian cricket team had a Muslim captain, and now an Indian Muslim fastbowler is facing Internet trolls.  
  
 This is not the India I grew up in where hate mongering was not mainstream and was frowned upon.  
  
  
 This is not the India I grew up in. Democratic institutions were fairly independent and there was no Supreme leader worship among the masses.

This is reality in India too

You don't need to spoil kids with the best possible education, day care and shit they don't even need. 
  
 Today's parents are too much. Our generation didn't even have half the stuff that today's kids do, we still did alright.  
  
 Homeschooling is a great and realistic option that most people don't even consider. They just want to justify breaking their backs without even asking their own family if they need all that extra money and privileges.

I came across a reel on Youtube and then cross checked it. Some facts are just mind blowing.There is a temple in Maharashtra known as 'Kailasa Temple'.

1. It was carved out from the top. Just imagine a 3 floor building with elaborate carvings carved out of rock from the top with over 100's of stone images, pillars and other craft.

2. They removed over 2M tons of rock in the process.

3. It took them more than 135 years to finish this job. Just imagine 4,5 generations sticking to the same plan with no blueprint without any technology and with just hammer and chisel, not from the front or bottom but from the top.

It is the most incredible piece of engineering that human beings have done on this Planet.

India is truly a land of wonder but we are the worst marketers.

MIND-BLOWING FACT 🤯

Machine Learning Engineer

Although India is a country with great culture and food,but it seems due to lack of unity, selfishness and a tendency to pull down others,
India would take light years to be a developed country.

Also this has been a major root cause of being attacked by so many invaders over the centuries.

Someone who has resources in abundance, would not take any interest to help others in need. Not just basic,but any other thing also.

Infact to say,we get easily influenced by anything. We don't have our own identity just like the French.

Shoot your comments....

Are Indians the most selfish race and have a tendency to pull down others?

So, I have heard multiple people that 20s is about exploring. Explore different jobs, work style, people etc , you name it!
   I believe with that, you cannot think of earning as exploration into different roles results in being at the same level across roles.
   1. What would you do or are currently doing about this? 
   2. Do you agree that 20s is about exploring?
   3. Did you explore in your 20s or did you try to climb the corporate ladder? 
   4. Would you do things differently if you had the chance?

People in/were in your 20s, what would/did you do?

Drop the western view of fun - Clubbing,partying,getting high/laid anyone can do. You don’t need any hard skills for it.  
  
 You have to change your perception of fun - I am a strong believer that 20s are for building your self. 
  
 Get Up Early - Explore your religion/spirituality - Work Hard - Don’t burn yourself out but ya the seeds you sow with hard work will pay on later in life.  
 Go Workout - Go for a Run- Go to the Gym it’s gonna help you live longer. 
  
 Eat healthy - Quit Smoking  
  
 Own Your life - Set Goals - Figure out your 2-5-10 Year Goals.  
  
 And When you have started this journey feel free to out with your friends create movie worthy stories and find the love of your life.

TIL Bharti (owner of airtel) is also in FMCG. 

Del Monte Foods Private Limited is a 50:50 joint venture between Bharti Enterprises and Del Monte Pacific Limited

2010 - Bharti unveils FieldFresh in joint venture with Del Monte

2021 - FieldsFresh Foods  renames itself ‘Del Monte Foods Private Limited’

This revenue diversification and risk mitigation strategy of Airtel makes even more sense in 2023 after how Jio, backed by Reliance's financial strength, came from nothing in 2016, exercised the ‘Power of Free’ market penetration strategy, and basically captured the telecom market.

Bharti Airtel is also in FMCG

I just can't, day by day the things I experience in this place makes me hate this country more.
On average, Indians are terrible people.

Trying really hard to love this country

When you look at history of the United States, the notion of American Exceptionalism has been at the forefront of their critical identity. It is deeply rooted in the belief that America is inherently unique, blessed with a divine providence that sets it apart from the rest of the world. 

It is important for us to know that it is not merely the notion of exceptionalism itself that has been the driving force behind America's success, but rather the dynamism it has instilled within its people. It is the unyielding spirit of innovation, resilience, and relentless pursuit of progress.

We are now witnessing the dawn of a new era, where the rise of India is inevitable. Like America before us, we too possess a unique spirit. It is one shaped by a millenia of civilization; the innovation and resilience. It is a spirit that has endured through centuries of adversity, emerging stronger and more vibrant with each passing generation.

What sets us apart is not just our culture but even our unwavering belief in the power of Indians to shape their own destiny. From the smallest of towns in rural India to the tech scene in Bangalore, we are a nation brimming with energy, creativity, and ambition. We are a nation on the cusp of greatness, poised to unleash its full potential upon the world stage.

Already, we see glimpses of India's greatness to come. But perhaps most importantly, I see it in the eyes of our youth. It is a generation brimming with hope, optimism, and a hunger for success.
