Celebrating the completion of 75 years of India's independence from the British rule

 Namaskar Readers, Happy Independence day, we are celebrating the completion of 75 years of India's independence from the British rules, The below are few observations and suggestion as a citizen needs to follow.

From the past 5 days everyday morning in my news paper readings I am observing an advertisement covering the full front page, stating that celebrate this independence day with iPhone and all the prices are more than 60,000 and up to 1Lakh. I find this is a big joke, I am not against iPhone or any other brand and in fact there are many other foreign companies who are posting advertisement treating Independence day as event or festival making many exciting offers for their sales.

India is importing all the electronic, plastic & other goods from china, USA and other countries, We are importing 80% of electronics only from china, I believe we have got too much freedom to access or import too much information & gadgets so quickly ignoring the countries economic impact. In todays worlds India is looked as a major market for selling their products and we are still not self sustainable right from building a small lithium-ion battery to big rocket. 

We see foreign brands entering into Indian markets fundamentally wrong, as we look them as a they were generating employment opportunity, but in real they are making our country poor. Just look into the Amazon or other ecommerce web businesses in India, the products are ours and we are the sellers/merchants and we are the buyers and I still don't understand why they are labeling us with their brand, Flipkart is our Indian brand with foreign investment, paytm is another major brand of those sorts.

These software webapps is just the digital illusion which tempts customers to buy throwing into debts with attractive options of emis, offers etc., Again am not against the digital evolution and technological advancements but, I wanted all to be inhouse build, owned & managed. As current situation is we are handed over all the user information via social media, eCommerce, etc, and AI & ML knows us better than us what we wanted to buy and they manipulate our minds using appropriate advertisements.

Being second largest of population we are still struggling for getting 1 or 2 medals from Olympics, we are just representing our past history as heritage, The common mans FMCG and petrol prices are striking to sky and its out of our control. 

We have approx. 65% of youth and younger generation who has to run the country is busy with / into the smart phone virtual world and our politicians who has to direct the country are busy in making money and power play or making debits for their schemes, Media and Bollywood are doing the same job of entertaining us for their views and ratings.

I would like to suggest and conclude with only three things which hopefully makes our country great as in history, 1. We should schedule our political elections only on independence day, as we every Indian will feel responsible and parotic from inside today. 2. Everyone especially youth should wakeup 4AM early in the morning and do or learn whatever they like or passionate with. 3. Everyday learn something new to improve the skillset.

 

Jai Hind.
