My Vision Of India In 2020 AD - Essay

India with her varied incarnations is an old civilization and an extremely complex
society. Her glorious past, natural beauty, resources, vast size and above all her
unique geographical location has always given her the pride of place in the world.
With the ups and downs of history it has retained its vibrancy. My vision of India
2020AD is a visionary's agenda full of hopes and resolve to work towards it.

As understanding of the historical traditions is very important in order to form a

concrete futuristic vision of nation like India. India has a long history and as it is
understood presently, it has covered a span of five thousand years since the
period of its first known civilization. During all these times a long steam of
immigrants, representing different ethnic strains and linguistic families, have
merged into its population to contribute to its diversity, richness and vitality. India
is probably the only civilization in the world which shows a clear continuity of its
several traditions from the times of its earliest known civilization. Even today
several levels of social evolution coexist in India and its composite identity has
won her the of quoted cliché, unity in diversity.

A country of India's dimension is bound to have its share of problems and

failings. However, the vibrant nation sets about overcoming its shortcomings,
protecting its culture and enriching the material as well as cultural life of its
people. So, obviously I visualize an all around growth and development of India.

The Indian society of my vision will be different from the present one. Hopefully in
the 2020 AD, India will rid itself of the discriminating nature of its caste system.
There will be quality in all fields for everyone. There also will be not be some
unfortunate customs like dowry system, child labor as well as discrimination
against women or weaker sections of the society. I hope the society itself will
develop a mechanism to promote the well being of everyone without having the
need of an enforcement by law all the time.

In economic field, I hope India will make great progress. Agriculture will make a
rapid advance, generating enough surplus and providing food for everyone.
Certainly the industrial development will have a balanced look providing work for
everyone and at the same time bringing prosperity and sustained development
for our natural resources. And there will be no more rise of population. The most
important part of the human resource development is meaningful education for
all. I hope by that time India will develop an advanced and relevant education
system taking care of the needs of all the aspects of the society. I am sure India
by that time will be able to take care of the health needs of all its citizen.
Often our political leaders lack 'political will' and work in a petty and partisan
manner. Still I am hopeful, by that time democracy will be strengthened in India
and it will give rise to true statesmen who will further take ahead my vision of
India in AD 2020 and each aspect of the Directive Principles of our Constitution
will be fulfilled. Elections till be peaceful and every citizen will exercise his/her
franchise fearlessly. By that time no politician or political part will be allowed to
exploit caste, region, language or ethnicity to advance their petty political
ambitions.

For thousands of years India had to beat the burnt of foreign invasions. The
fortitude of the Indians has withstood successfully all the onslaughts. Yet it is
widely believed that there is no serious strategic thinking or planning in India. In
this matter, India is generally inward looking country and this tradition has been
shaped by our geography, history, culture and civilization. The otherwise humane
and noble pacific image of India is often taken for sheepishness. We do not look
ahead or plan ahead our strategic realities. We only not look ahead or plan
ahead our strategic realities. We only react to threats. A few of our unfriendly
countries have taken advantage of it by launching a protracted low intensity war
on several fronts. I hope that by 2020 India will develop long term defensive
strategies.

In some of the areas like software technology, genetic engineering and space,
although India has made rapid advances, we still have to be dependent on the
developed nations for several technologies. I have a vision that in coming times,
India will emerge as one of the world leaders in science and technology. our
development in this field will also take care of our real needs and will reach to the
common people. Our developed industrial and scientific base will also be able to
check brain-drain. It will also help in protecting our environment and sustaining
our resource base.

India's policy has always been one of brotherhood and co-existence. yet our
borders are surrounded by hostile war-hawks. Unless a nation is able to defend
its borders and integrity, all other developments are of no use. We do have
several proven instances of internal disturbances. be it Kashmir or the North-East
we have dangers all around. I am confident that by 2020 India will be able to
build an arsenal and strategy to remove all fears of external attack.

International relations are not only important for making friends but also
significant for trade, security and communication. India will look forward to
developing greater economic ties with Russia, South-East Asia, S. Africa, Latin
American countries and also in co-operation with China and geo-economic
matters. Our country will also hopefully achieve friendly ties with Pakistan.

Glory of a nation is not complete unless it does well in sports too. I am hopeful
that our country will make a great advance in sports winning a number of
Olympic medals and international laurels. Sports will be made popular at every
stage in India.
My vision of India in 2020 AD may sound life a dreamer's agenda but given the
glories posterity of India and its resilience, it can still come true. And in this task
we need the right kind of leaders and solemn commitment on the part of my
countrymen.

India in 2020 – A Vision It has always been the dream of every citizen of an
economically backward and poor country, to see that the country developed with no
negative systems or ideas or beliefs. It is my dream also to see India as one of the most
developed nations. 2020 is a good deadline for seeing a developed India. One always
feels sad when we see someone begging on the streets or when we see dirty, broken roads
in shabby slums. One also feels jealous when we hear about the United States advancing
in every field. By 2020, India will be on the same platform on which America is now.
The first and foremost thing I see in India 2020 is 100 percent literacy rate. Every citizen
in the country will be able to read, write and understand any one language including the
farmers and slum-dwellers. India will not have any unemployment. The people will earn
their bread and there shall be none called ‘beggars’. The beggars will also be employed at
least as sweepers earning a small but a salary of their own. India in 2020 – A Vision It

INDIA VISION 2020 - ROLE OF YOUTH IN BUILDING STRONG

INDIAINTRODUCTION:VISION 2020 can be better described as Vision 20/20 (perfect
vision in American style). It is well known that India is home to a significant proportion
of the youth of the world today. All the imperialists of the world are eyeing India as the
source of technical manpower. They are looking at our girls and boys as the source of
talents at low cost for their future super-profits. If Indian youth make up their mind, and
work in close unity with the working class, they can foil the plans of imperialism and the
bourgeoisie. The plunder of India can be ended. With political power in their hands, the
workers, peasants, women and youth will be able to ensure that there is work for all.
They will ensure that what is produced is geared towards providing adequately for all
members of Indian society. TYPES OF VISION:That too is a realisable vision. Ø The
first disastrous vision will materialise if we let matters drift. Ø The second can be
realised only if (a) We dare to have such a vision and (b) Strive for it. Unfortunately, no
one -- intellectuals, engineers, bureaucrats or politicians -- is bothered to dream any such
vision. Martin Luther King said, ``I have a dream'', and the dream came largely true. If he
had not thought of that dream, he would have accomplished nothing. To climb high, one
has to dream of climbing the Everest. One may not go higher than 10,000 feet but even
that will not be attained if you have no better dream than going up to the top floor of your
office in a lift. Prosperity does not come when you wait passively for something to
happen, but when you strive actively to make good things happen. Kalam’s words: The
mission is: In transforming India into a developed nation by 2020, what can be the role of
every citizen in addition to the governmental initiatives of launching programmes for the
vision of a developed India. This type of dynamic environment with motivation will
indeed be a great foundation for our vision of transforming India into a 'developed' nation
by 2020. In recent years, the world has come to look at India with renewed respect,
recognizing a strong and prosperous global power in the making It is also a future when
the fabled richness of India’s culture, arts, intellectual exploration, and spiritual pursuit
will begin to show its full radiance, bringing much succor to the troubled spirit of the
modern man. Is this a dream? Yes. Is it an impossible dream? No, it is not. This can be
done by the youth of India. Youth is the spring of life. It is the age of discovery and
dreams. When they dream, they dream not only for a good future for themselves, but
also a good future for their Nation and the entire humanity. Their dreams take them to
stars and galaxies, to the far corners of the Unknown. And some of them, like our own
Kalpana Chawla, pursue their dream till they realise it and even die for it in the process.If
any section of society, in any country, is most impatient for change, it is the youth.
Patriotism comes naturally to young people. But they also easily respond to the call of
internationalism. HOPES OF YOUTH: Ø A world free of poverty, unemployment,
inequality and exploitation of man by man. Ø A world free of discrimination on the
grounds of race, colour, language and gender. Ø A world full of creative challenges
and opportunities to conquer them. These are not empty hopes. Modern science and
technology, and the increasing vistas of socio-economic cooperation among nations, have
brought these hopes within the reach of realisation. STRUGGLE AGAINST
TERRORISM: In recent times, terrorism has emerged as one of the gravest threats to
peace and a democratic policy. Youth are drawn between different acts of terrorism. In
some cases, it is not really terrorism, but a freedom struggle. This is how our neighbour
has been trying to justify its policy of cross-border terrorism in Jammu & Kashmir.
Youth organisations should carry out an awareness campaign to expose justification or
condoning of terrorism anywhere and under whatever pretext. ROLE OF YOUTH: Ø
The youth can play a vital role in the implementation of the elimination of terrorism.
If the energy, intelligence and resources of the youth of the country are properly utilised,
the country will prosper. If they are misused, the country will go to dogs. Ø They
have to compete, they like doing so with a sporting spirit. Just look at the spirit of
internationalism that today pervades the cricketing world, with the start of the World Cup
Tournament in South Africa. No matter which team wins, cricket will win. Youthfulness
will win. The spirit of oneness will win. Ø The youth would need to aspire for
entrepreneurship rather than conventional employment. Ø The hopes of the young
people can be fulfilled only in conditions of peace, only in a civilised and cooperative
world order. Ø Young people are full of vibrant ideas. When properly motivated and
sufficiently guided, they know what they want in life. Ø Young people have the
energy to try out things and the patience to learn from
