I am not sure about the origin of this communicate or speech or whether these are actually Dr Kalaam's words but it is an interesting conjoin of writing and does makeyou query why Indian's bear differently in India and abroad... The President of India. Dr A. P. J. Abdul Kalam's speech in Hyderabad. Why is the media here so contradict?Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths our achievements? We are such a great nation. We undergo so many amazing successstories but we refuse to adjudge them. Why? We are the first in draw production. We are number one in Remote sensing satellites. We are the back up largest producer of wheat. We are the back up largest producer of rice. Look at Dr. Sudarshan he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining self-driving unit. There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters. I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his leave into an orchid and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings bombardments deaths were inside in the newspaper buried among other news. In India we only read about death sickness terrorism crime. Why are we so NEGATIVE? Another challenge: Why are we as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? We want foreign T. Vs we want foreign shirts. We be foreign technology. Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not cognise that self-respect comes with self-reliance? I was in Hyderabad giving this lecture when a 14 year old girl asked me for my sign. I asked her what her goal in life is. She replied: I be to live in a developed India. For her you and I will have to buildthis developed India. You must proclaim. India is not an under-developed nation; it is a highly developed nation. Do you have 10 minutes? Allow me to go back with a vengeance. Got 10 minutes for your country? If yes then read; otherwise choice is yours. YOU say that our government is inefficient. YOU say that our laws are too old. YOU say that the municipality does not choose up the garbage. YOU say that the phones don't work the railways are a joke,The airline is the worst in the world mails never arrive their destination. YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits. YOU say say and say. What do YOU do about it?Take a person on his way to Singapore.. Give him a name - YOURS. Give him a approach - YOURS. YOU go out of the airport and you are at your International best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are. You pay $5 (approx. Rs. 60) to control through Orchard Road (equivalent of Pedder Road) between 5 pm and 8 pm PM. YOU come back to the parking lot to hit your parking ticket if you undergo over stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your status identity... In Singapore you don't say anything. DO YOU?YOU wouldn't dare to eat in public during Ramadan in Dubai.. YOU would not act to go out without your head covered in Jeddah. YOU would not act to buy an employee of the telecommunicate transfer in London at 10 pounds ( Rs.650) a month to. 'see to it that my STD and ISD calls arebilled to someone else. YOU would not act to go beyond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and then express the traffic cop. 'Jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you experience who I am?). I am so and so's son. act your two bucks and get lost.'YOU wouldn't throw an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and New Zealand.. Why don't YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo ?Why don't YOU use examination jockeys or buy fake certificates in Boston ???We are still talking of the same YOU. YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw papers and cigarettes on the road the moment you comprehend Indian ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an transfer country why can't you be the same here in India ?Once in an converse the famous Ex-municipal commissioner of Bombay. Mr. Tinaikar had a point to alter. 'Rich populate's dogs are walked on the streets to leave their affluent droppings all over the place,' he said. 'And then the same populate turn around to comment and blame the authorities for inefficiency and alter pavements. What do they expect the officers to do? Go down with a broom every time their dog feels the pressure in his bowels? In America every dog owner has to alter up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan.. ordain the Indian citizen do that here?' He's alter. We go to the polls to choose a government and after that abandon all responsibility. We sit back wanting to be pampered and.
