India - A Child's View


INDIA FOR A LONG TIME HAS BEEN A COUNTRY OF RICHES. RIGHT FROM THE TIME OF THE EMPERORS TILL THE TIME OF INDEPENDENCE FROM THE BRITISH,THESE RESOURCES HAVE BEEN LOOTED. 

SINCE 1947 WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TAP OUR NUMEROUS RESOURCES. INDIA BEING A HIGHLY POPULATED COUNTRY, IN THE VERY BEGINNING WE PAID ATTENTION TO OUR AGRICULTRE. THE FIVE YEAR PLANS PRACTICALLY DOUBLED OUR OUTPUT. THIS PROVES ALSO THAT THE LAND IN OUR COUNTRY IS VERY FERTILE. BUT WE SHOULD NOT BE UNSCRUPULOUS IN CUTTING DOWN OUR TREES IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE OUTPUT BECAUSE TREES HELP US BY GIVING US WOOD FOR FURNITURE AND BUILDING OUR HOUSES. THEY ALSO REDUCE THE POLLUTION BY REMOVING CARBON DI-OXIDE FROM OUR ATMOSPHERE AND  BRING US RAIN.INDIA IS ALSO RICH IN MANY MINERALS, FOR EXAMPLE INDIA IS THE LARGEST PRODUCER OF MICA IN THE WORLD. IN INDIA THERE ARE SO MANY RIVERS OUT OF WHICH A FEW ARE NAVIGABLE AND THE REST GIVE US POWER BY OUR BUILDING DAMS ACROSS THEM AS A RESULT WE ALSO HAVE THE GREATEST DAMS IN THE WORLD. INDIA ALSO HAS SOME OF THE GREATEST MINDS IN THE ENTIRE WORLD BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE INDIAN GOVERNMENT FAILS TO RECOGNISE THE TALENT IN OUR YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN. HENCE IT IS NATURAL FOR THEM TO GO ABROAD WHERE THIER TALENT IS RECOGNISED TO THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY. IN INDIA WE ALSO HAVE THE TECHCHNOLOGY TO BUILD WEAPONS. WE  HAVE EVEN BUILT OUR OWN SUPER COMPUTER AND OUR VERY OWN NUCLEAR MISSLES. BUT INSTEAD OF BUILDING MISSLES IF MORE NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS WERE SETUP THEN POWER FAILURE WOULD NOT BE A COMMON THING AS IT IS AT THE MOMENT.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO CONCLUDE WITH THIS NOTE :  “INDIA IS A COUNTRY FULL OF HERITAGE , RESOURCES , TECHNOLOGY , MAN POWER AND HAS  SOME OF THE BRIGHTEST PROPLE IN THE WORLD SO IF A LITTLE CARE IS  TAKEN INDIA COULD BECOME ONE OF THE LEADING  NATIONS IN THE WORLD. SO HELP  MAKE INDIA A BETTER PLACE FOR ALL OF US “
