“What do you think , is the biggest problem of India?”
“Terrorism”
And then the explanation followed. It was the question asked to one of the 5 contestants in a beauty contest which i was watching several days ago. This is a very common question and the common answers for this include corruption, education, politician, poverty, population and etc. But if some one asks me, I have a very different take on this which most of Indians would not like. For me India’s biggest problem are Indians only or in better words lack of moral values in we Indians.
India, a home to problems.We have problems which we are carrying since ages and have become eternal part of our lives, still everyday we are generating new problems. We have problems but still we love India. We love India because we are Indians, because we are obliged by taking birth this land. If you think that this is the reason, i bet you are absolutely wrong. There is something more which can not be contained in words. Not only we Indians but foreigners too can feel this. Hundred of the times we have heard illogical reasons (in fact Dillogical reason as in new Lays chips add), given by we Indians in favor our craziness for country. “What is India?”…….A beautiful and Dillogical explanation by Elena Borghi, an Italian writer
“What can I say? India is India.”
“Those who love India know it: you don’t know exactly why you love it. It is
dirty, it is poor, it is infected; sometimes it is a thief and a liar, it is often
stinky, corrupted, pitiless and indifferent. Still, once you’ve met it, you can’t
do without it. You suffer when you’re away from it. But this is the way love
is: instinctive, unexplainable, unselfish.
When we are in love, we don’t listen to reason; we fear nothing; we are
prepared to anything. When we are in love, we are heady with freedom; we
feel we could hug the entire world and it seems to us that the entire world is
hugging us. India, unless you hate at first sight, soon leads to this
excitement.
[…] India remains itself, and this is somehow reassuring.”
Thanks Elena Borghi!!!…… you give words to our love as most of the times, we Indians are not good at this.
