Har ghar tiranga? Wanted har ghar naukri: right time to introspect what went wrong

By Syed Ahmed Ali* 

Seventy five years of Independence is the right time to introspect and should take the social impact report of the present government, and how people are feeling about their own country and their future.
We are proud that India has its largest ever adolescent and youth population in the world. According to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) projections, India will continue to have one of the youngest populations in the world till 2030. But it’s very shocking after knowing that more than nine lakh Indians have given up their Indian citizenship since 2014 and more than six lakhs in the last five years. Is the data not a reflection that even after 75 years since we gained our independence from the British, we have been unable to build a country that is strong and stable enough for Indians to return and settle back after their professional or business stints abroad?
Youths are assets of the nation. They are educated, technologically skilled, and highly competent and yet, they are leaving India. This is a matter of great concern. The increased number of Indians becoming citizens of other countries since 2014, also shows the lack of confidence in them the future of their children and the direction of the nation in terms of securing basic rights for all its citizens and upholding certain principles for governing the country, and it is important for the government to deliver on the question of providing jobs to our youth. The government should provide at least one house for every family and provide a job for each family head so that everyone can live a life with respect.
The government, however, did not seem to be serious about this and was raising only emotional issues to side-track the real issues.
Youth is the backbone of the country and they are the future of the country. Sadly, many of our young minds are leaving the country just because they don’t find a bright future in the country.
If this situation continues then how can we become “Vishva Guru”?
Time to ponder and plan for the best.

When nostalgia becomes a memory we never lived: The 80s AI trend

Swami Vivekananda's views on caste and sexuality were 'painfully' regressive

By Bhaskar Sur* Swami Vivekananda now belongs more to the modern Hindu mythology than reality. It makes a daunting job to discover the real human being who knew unemployment, humiliation of losing a teaching job for 'incompetence', longed in vain for the bliss of a happy conjugal life only to suffer the consequent frustration.
