Face Of India and Yo Man!!

The values portrayed in movie today surprises me, is this Indian value system or Hindi version of English value system??.where are we heading as India?? well I feel copying the culture of other country makes one Clown not Hero because the problem with the rat race even if you win you are still a rat and unfortunately we judge progress of India by switching TV and watching picture perfect situation all sun n shine of entertainment industry ; the real face of India is something different,all talks of mp3, wifi,mobile gadgets is crap when the basic problem in India remains unsolved.How many villages in country have proper supply of water,electricity,health care and basic education; there is ugly face of poverty and many people still sleep on roads, there big problem of child labor, just watch a small boy selling umbrellas or match box in scorching heat or bone chilling cold just for few coins or so, I sometimes feel the great movie of Bimal roy, Do Biga Zameen can be still recreated as reality in many part of India where people are saving every coin just for very very basic needs, we are far deatttached from this reality, we can only have symphaty but we need real emphatic Attitude and look the world from their point of view.
The key to modernization is to be what we are and accept our culture and be proud about it and not choose to be second version of someone else.Off course competition is healthy but only we we use it as measuring scale for progress against ourselves .
What we need is a great vision, we need to work on our existing resources, we need to emulate our thinking pattern based on great visionaries India ever produced otherwise we will end up as Circus where everyone will be just a clown.
