Ash to Ash..Dust to Dust

Is India really underdeveloped?

Or are we pretending...and playing dumb...so that we can beat the rest of the world in the actual race??

My theory is based on a few thoughts which came to me...here goes...

We consume very less power. We are among the least in the world in the per capita power consumption. We consume less resources as well. Be it food...we dont have enough of it...even land is kinda less for us...and we arent really thinking of reclaiming huge amounts of land from the sea or anything like dat. Technology wise also we are lagging. We are a really huge nation. So these things are counted as some of the factors that is keeping us in the developed country range and not letting us move on to a better place in the world.

But there is this one truth we are all forgetting while measuring the GDPs and the like..

Dint we all come from nature and dont we all go back to nature?

Yes we do. So its a cycle. All of life is a cycle. The whole earth is a circle too.

We are actually operating on the principle of 'Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust'..and face it people, we are no pheonix going to rise out of it.

Everything is to go back into nature and if u really think about it, we have not really gone very far from nature. Our economy is even today heavily dependent on agriculture. We have not really moved away from the sand and dust part have we...

So, isnt it safe to say that India is one of the few way ahead on this road. Finally not meeting the standard of being underdeveloped is paying off someplace..

It is not that we want to be ash first, but it always makes sense to work with nature than against it. Global Warming is a blaring reality of what the earth can do to us, or rather what we can make the earth do to us. India, Even today in many ways as a nation is very close to the primitive man who has just bitten into the apple. She seems to want to go the technology way and go ahead int he world, but is that not at a huge cost of destroying the world, destroying a lot of what is pure within the nation??

We need to understand and respect Mother Nature and the good things she has given to us rather than trying to get ahead in a race which a century down the line will be the reason for our non existence.

So..I can end with the metallica song...

Ash to ash..dust to dust...fede to black and the memory remains!!!
