In all its developments and the global limelight hogging India, there can be no argument to the fact that India is almost 5 years behind by the least compared to the western nations or even some of our neighbours. In a country of billion people, where India once stood for invention and innovation, somewhere lost to the western world in this space and just remained another developing nation.
Yes India did have to face a lot of setbacks and turmoil’s in its last 1000 years of existence, but that doesn’t discount the fact that even in the last two decades we could hardly capitalize. Barring the IT industry we could showcase little to the world and even that also is slowly fizzling out with BPO remaining only the face of the once leaping IT sector.
Somewhere our dis-inclination to change is costing us a lot more than we can really feel. We have got used to a way of life with technologies far behind time. India for all its glory is becoming a dump yard of out-dated technologies and we catch on to that gleefully. Even in such a giant and thriving market like India, global giants are not showcasing their latest offerings here. Apple Incorporation is a case in point.
From telecom, aviation, military, nuclear, railways to hardware technologies, India is lagging in all the fronts. And interestingly the one’s shining in developing new technologies in the developed world are mostly Indians, who far one may have received the highly subsidised education in India but were forced to move out to work in challenging conditions. Indian research and development demands a lot more.
In all our self-pride it’s time we wake up from this slumber and embrace the world where today Speed is the last word and they live by it.
