Be it the goal of becoming a 30 trillion dollar economy or the hope of health, education, shelter for all... both the concept and resolution of a developed India by 2047 are huge. There will be obstacles and opposition in the path of this goal, whose solution will be possible only with the aim of 'Nation First'.
Resolve to develop India by 2047
It is difficult to get rid of the colonial mentality
Inclusion of Indianness in education is necessary
Pro. Sanjeev Kumar Sharma. When opposition to public welfare in the name of democracy becomes politics, then a similar scene is seen as was seen in and outside the Parliament of India this week. Instead of analyzing the merits and demerits of 'Developed India - Guarantee for Employment and Livelihood Mission', an ambitious bill presented to accelerate the progress and economy of rural India, the opposition kept comparing its short name and its earlier name as a fulfillment of its duty. The irony is that this happened in the name of Mahatma Gandhi, whose aim in life was to wipe the tears of the person standing at the lowest end of the society. This subtle difference of feeling and emotion makes this whole comparison 'Gandhi versus Gandhi' and one remembers those painful words of Bapu, 'Everyone is eager to garland my pictures and statues. No one really wants to follow me.’
Difficult circumstances could not frustrate
In the year 2047, India will complete 100 years of freedom from foreign slavery. India has seen many important milestones in the journey of 78 years of independence. In fact, after liberation from the slavery of British rule, the journey of India was difficult, difficult, inaccessible and difficult. But India's eternal, intact, continuous and eternal tradition and commendable will to live made the impossible possible. The sting of partition did not frustrate India's progressive talent. The entrepreneurship of Indians in the economic field produced unimaginable good results. Within a period of seven-eight decades, from a country that did not even make needles, we became one of the first five economic superpowers of the world. The Industrial Revolution touched even the remotest areas of India and India's participation in global exports is continuously moving towards remarkable progress. India's progress in the field of technology and technology has become respectable across the world. India's talented personalities are getting established in the scientific society. India has made unimaginable progress in the field of space science and we are sending satellites of countries around the world into space. After Moon and Mars, India is moving forward with strong steps towards its ultra-ambitious Aditya Mission. India is gaining prominence in world trade. India is at the top position in various sports. Moving towards self-reliance in the production and manufacturing of strategic weapons and equipment.
India's rise is a topic of global discussion
In the agricultural sector, India has achieved complete self-reliance for its own use and has adopted the path of donation, grant and sale. Small and cottage industries have received revival. In the aviation sector, India is competing with the so-called developed countries of the world. In the field of medicine, India is becoming the most favorite and safe place for many countries of the world. People combined with Indian talent and trained in Indian higher education institutions are becoming visible in leadership and top roles in multinational business establishments of many advanced countries of the world. Indian industrialists have established major manufacturing and production enterprises in many countries. India's voice has become very important in international organizations and forums. There has been an unprecedented increase in India's role and expectations from India in conflict prevention situations all over the world. India's leadership is gaining global recognition, respect, prestige and importance. This is actually the period of all-round rise of India. The story of Bharatodaya is the most prominent discussion in the world at present.
surrounded by obstacles from loved ones
There are many challenges present in the path of fulfilling the sacred resolution of a developed India in 2047, ignoring which it would be audacity. The mentality of colonial slavery and inferiority towards India is still prevalent in certain groups, individuals, institutions and organizations that are called and considered civilized, elite, citizens, educated, affluent and prestigious and the path to get rid of it is the most difficult. The feeling of neglect, ridicule and political distance towards India's cultural and intellectual tradition still exists strongly and competently in the centers of education, knowledge and learning. The superiority and imitability of the intellectuals and so-called moderns, who have considered modernity as synonymous with westernization, towards western culture, civilization, history, symbols, books, writers, ideas, festivals, festivals, costumes, diet, lifestyle etc. is continuously increasing. We have accepted the truth that every section and region of the Indian society is continuously trapped in this vicious cycle. It is not easy to overcome this. Many of our attempts at Indianisation unintentionally turn into foolish imitation of the Western vision and system and this too is a disturbing trend. Like always, internal dissenters are continuously active in India, who take their disagreement with any person, party, leader to the level of personal hatred and convert it into absence of loyalty towards the nation. Due to political ambitions, the evil trend of taking electoral benefits by distributing the nation's resources without labour, without purpose and without reason is also gaining public acceptance and easy recognition, which is a matter of utmost concern. To ensure that the thorns on the journey to developed India do not become painful thorns, holistic and concerted efforts are required from all directions.
journey from dream to reality
In the field of education, India is making efforts to break the chains of mental slavery of almost 200 years. The inclusion of Indianness is the most laudable starting point of the National Education Policy. The desire to get rid of the inferiority complex arising from colonial slavery is spreading everywhere. India is giving wings to the dream of becoming a world leader again in the next two decades. As India completes 100 years of independence, the dream of a strong, capable, prosperous and healthy India is going to turn into reality. India is coming out of its clutches and is eager to mark its meaningful, positive and influential presence in the world. India has to become a developed nation by 2047. It is no longer the subject of any government, any authority, any politician, any political party, any administrative agency or any group. Now this is a consolidated and collective resolution of entire India. This is a proclamation of India's renaissance on the world stage. This is the conch sound of Indian Sanatan culture which considers the welfare of all mankind as supreme. It is a global expression of the inherent will of all Indians. This is a strong presentation of the long-dormant desire of the people of India. This is the light that paves the way for the re-discovery of India.
