We, the Indians (Part-1)

I have not been to many places, neither have i met people belonging to different cultures & countries.. But i think there is something wrong with us. We, the indians, just don't have an atitude to make our life & lifestyle better. Now a days, going foreign for a vacation is not a big deal & all those indians who go out on vacations will not throw away the wrappers/empty Coke-cans on roads while out of india (After all some countries are so clean, one doesn't even think of throwing things here & there.) But as soon as they are back to homeland, they slide the car window down & throw away the remains of fruits/empty water bottles etc. I do not intend to highlight this particular habbit alone. I want to take up a larger issue.

I was coming back from delhi yesterday & i kept on discussing this issue with my brother that indians have closed minds & they just don't want to try or learn something new. Undoubtedly our car driver was listening to this stuff whole day but he jumped red light. I asked him not to do it again. some 15 minutes later, he pushed the accelerator down to jump another traffic light when we all knew it was impossible to cross it in time. As a result he had to stop in the middle of the road & then reverse the car. I scolded him for being such a deaf. While i am saying that people of this country must realize that, only they can make it better.. he is at time also behaving like just another indian. Same evening, he opened the window & threw some papers out. For god's sake please someone tell me how can i make him see that i am keeping an empty pepsi bottle, two used disposable glasses & some toffee wrappers in the car so i will throw them when i will find appropriate bin. If it is so difficult to change one indian, i can well imagine that the country will never change.

Eating a pizza with a fork & knife, wearing clean clothes, speaking english doens't make anyone of you educated or civilized. A civilized person is one who knows his social responsibilities & takes care of them, who knows how to behave in public places.

INDIA will never become a developed nation if Indians wouldn't learn to work. Do you know why India is unable to compete with China in manufacturing or export business. We need 5 to 8 people to complete a job in india, which is done by 1-2 Chinese labour Men. Further, those 5-8 indians will take atleast 3 breaks in an eight hour shift apart from Watering their mouth & visiting the washrooms (& that too in groups). Our efficiency is not even 25% when compared to a chinese. We are atleast 200 times more corrupt than 90% of developed/developing nations.

Why don't we want to change ourselves. I wrote in my last post that one shall think with an open mind. All indians must try to change themselsves, Atleast those who read this post
