Politics over Map of India

We all are very passionate Indians. The State of Jammu & Kashmir has always been a sensitive issue on us. We get very much frowned and angry when some foreign country or news channel start showing some part of State, as not part of India. So where is the problem, with us or with them ? A passionate answer "Of course, its them". But is it ?

Throughout our school ciricullum we are showed and taught a full Jammu and Kashmir state map. Personally, I got a shocker when I came to know that we do not have full control over Kashmir. Leave about the PoK, even the whole state is administered differently than rest of India. I was like "What....!!!". So, the questions become why we have not been calling a spade a spade since childhood.

We have to get our facts straights. The funny thing is that leaders who taught us that we got our freedom based on non-violence and truthfulness, did hide the real truth from us. If we have to solve problems, we have to first understand the problem and stop manipulating the school books to glorify only some elite section of peace loving freedom fighters.

Congratulations Mr. @NarendraModi

May 26 saw #NarendraModi being sworn as 15th Prime Minister of India. So the huge expectations got elected as the leader of the one and quarter growing population.

Gujrat has already seen the growth but the new growth demand is multiple fold with many external factors. People are sceptic but hopeful. The fear is that if Narendra Modi fails, the condition of Indian politics and people will be very worrisome in this competitive environment. If this government fails, India will miss seeing full mandate government for some long time.

But on brighter side, if he is successful, India and Indians will be a force to reckon with. A business based relationship with neighbors and trade flourishing the region can boost the economy in the region, solving many problems like poverty, terrorism,  etc. Lots of country's energy is wasted in solving these neighbor problem.

An ever increasing population can be an asset and can be a problem. If population is trained to become professionals, it boost the cycle. If a problem, it will lead to negativities like Maoism and inner strifes.

A positive outlook gives positive energy. The band of ministers who are going to support Modi should understand the responsibilities and seriousness of the job. The old slackly work attitude will backfire for BJP and to the country. They should understand the world is getting more connected and the criticism comes faster. So, they have to run with a faster pace than their critics.

In end, Best of Luck to the Team. Indians and many non-Indians have huge expectations for you all. Please raise the bar for generations to come.
