India, the world’s most populous country, is a major economic and political power in South Asia. Known for its vast linguistic, cultural, and geographic diversity, India has a rich history that spans thousands of years, with deep-rooted traditions in philosophy, science, art, and religion. Its large population and vast history mark its economic and cultural importance.
While India’s civilization can be traced to the Harrapan era, that is, 1400 BCE, its modern political boundaries were established in 1947 when it gained independence from British rule. It is now a federal parliamentary democracy with 28 states and 8 union territories, with New Delhi as its capital. India has a democratic system with a multiparty political landscape, with the Indian National Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party being the two dominant national parties.
As one of the fastest-growing major economies, India is a global hub for technology, manufacturing, and services, while also being an agrarian powerhouse. It is a nuclear-armed state and plays a key role in regional and global geopolitics, maintaining strategic partnerships with various nations.
India is one of the most ethnically and religiously diverse countries in the world, home to multiple religions, sects, castes, and tribes. It has more than ten-thousand languages and hundreds of regional dialects, with Hindi and English serving as the two of the 22 official languages. Despite economic progress, India faces challenges such as poverty, unemployment, and environmental concerns, alongside managing its complex social fabric and regional disparities.
Y is the Lutyens media hell bent on exonerating Nehru from the mistakes he committed in Kashmir
So Oppenheimer put the burden of saving the world from nuclear halocast on Nehru and Panditji thought he was solely responsible for this mission!! His sense of grandeur and the thought that he was responsible for world peace cost India it’s sovereign interests. We are struggling to extricate ourselves from those strategic errors even after 70 years at a great cost in terms of human life, communal tensions and military expenses, apart from loss of territory and allowing China an opportunity to meddle in J&K.
Unfortunately, more than 30 crore Indian believed few inexperienced individuals to negotiate with British Raj on the partition of India. British were in a hurry to abandon this territory after devastating effect of world war II when their economy was in doldrums and our inexperienced leaders were waiting for opportunity as if they know how to run the administration well. Ended up in a mess with moren 4 million people lost their home, many died on both side due to hatred incited by few people and resulted in poverty driven economy. Unfortunate but true. People may say that in hindsight we say many things, but even after that if we dont learn our lessons from history we are bound to suffer.
