Yes, my dear friends you haven't read it wrong. And neither my intentions are to put a false statement in front of you all.
If only being rich means making more money and keeping more money, India is of course on a downward curve of that graph. But the good thing is being Rich is that money is not the only criteria that describes being rich or being poor. It is about many others things that habitancy with cash filled pockets ignore so often that being rich is about so much more. It's about heritage, internal peace, satisfaction, harmony, love with each other and power of sharing.
News From India
Lets start by some questions for you to answer:
1. Do you pay your neighbor to baby sit your kids?
2. Do you feel alone even if you are surrounded by habitancy all over the place and no body bothering to ask you - what's your problem, may I help you?
3. Does it happen that after being in love for years you get married to explore that No - this is not perfect relationship?
4. How many times you get together with your neighbors / parents / relatives in a year?
To answer in modesty we Indians never ever think of charging for keeping a close watch or baby-sit any kid. I guess if we could start doing that it could turn out to be multi million dollar business in just few weeks (thanks to our ever increasing population)
Whenever you are sad and no matter where you are in India - if it is showing on your face even the stranger (irrespective of his social or religious caste) would sit down and discuss your qoute with you - You don't need counselors to just free your daily pent up emotions. You can do it with habitancy who are full of empathy and just not listing because it is their job to listen.
We Indians don't wait too long to fall in love as love can happen in a occasion what matters is to keep it going, accepting other human as human and accepting each other positives and negatives together. That is what dispose marriage means and that's admittedly the reason why Indian Marriages are thought about to be for "seven births" and not seven days/months/years alone.
Sharing without a motive of profit, that keeps us together with all our neighbors, relatives and parents all the year round. We sing, we dance we celebrate all festivals, seasons, and when a tragedy occurs we even grief together.
Many habitancy nearby the world and mostly from the advanced nations have cultivated a studying level that stops them to take consideration that every society is differently Rich, some by money, some by resources, some by intellectual skills, some in human resource, some by its heritage.. So there is No one parameter to label anyone as rich because she has more dollars in her pocket then the co-passenger. You cannot neglect the fact that even Queen wears a brilliant in her crown that is from India.
The fact remains that India is lacking in many areas, and so to say many crucial area like infrastructure, education, medicine but so did many nations though the problems may differ, but the point is even the nations like Us, Germany, England or Japan have their set of issues to handle. All of us as a society have some positives and negatives- but the thing is to open up and explore what's others have to offer to you - and what You can offer back to them.
Come and explore India, it has gorgeous people, places, foods, exotica and many hidden treasures for you to discover, that will make you relish and enjoy life to it's fullest. Tour India that is the only way to look at the real India.
