"India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech,

the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother of tradition.

Our most valuable and most artistic materials in the history of man

are treasured up in India only!"

- Mark Twain

Someoe once asked me , " What exactly does your dream India look like ?" I immediately answered , " I dream of strong , self reliant , developed and truly equipped India . India of my dreams will not just be a nation but a dream come true for millions of indian souls aspiring to live in a nation vibrant with dreams of youth and conducive for all round growth of individual . "
But at this point is only dreaming really sufficient ?! It's high time we take this seriously and take actions towards achieving goal of developed India . There are several issues we need to tackle which currently serve as threat for Indian Democracry and it's development . Some of them include rate tapism , corruption , burreaucracy , illiteracy , terrorism , female harrasment , etc .

For this first and foremost we need to ensure 100 % literacy . Education causes awakening , awareness , kindles aspirations , puts an end to various bizzare malpractices , and enables the youth to empower themselves . This increases employment and gives every individual a sense of security .

To curb corruption , we need to make government fuctioning transparent . We need to remove politics out of four walls of drawing rooms' intellect . We need to provide more opportunities in different fields like research , inventions , space research and software development which can severely reduce brain drain rate . The adressal of female harassment and women empowerment shouldn't just be a part of motivational speeches , debates or poetry . Actual steps need to be taken to ensure her safety especially at work places . One of the most important steps is teaching sons right from childhood to treat girls equally and being a little more sensitive towards them because toay's small kids are tomorrow's future . We also need to create more awarness about female menstrual hygiene and put an end to all taboos associated with it .

Indians right from beginning have proven to have higher intellectual grasp and development . Right from invention of zero by Aryabhatt to Mars orbital Mission India has proven the above statement . So all that we need to do today is give equal opportunities to everyone purely based on talent .

"We haven't inherited this earth by our forefathers but it's our duty to owe a clean , green Earth to our children ." For this pollution control measures need to adopted at earliest like ecofriendly fuel consumption , increase in green spaces , trating chemicals before releasing in environment , consumption of suistable and non polluting products .

With all these meassures wisely implimented we can surely create INDIA OF OUR DREAMS ... where dreams meet reality .

To quote and unquote the words of Rabindranath Tagore :
" Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake. "

Come lets together realise vision INDIA OF MY DREAMS !!!
