Posted by admin on August 25th, 2010
As we move towards an increasingly interconnected society, our interactions with people from within India & with those of different cultures across the world is rising. While buzzwords such as global village & knowledge society are constantly used in advertising, we are hardly open to a respectful acceptance of our differences. Alarmingly there is a rise in xenophobic attitudes and favoritism towards certain sections of society, based either on race, skin color or caste. There are quite a few shameful instances where Indians have exhibited racism. Racial slurs are used quite openly towards people of different regions & religions. When we are on the receiving end, we denounce racism and rightfully so, but, aren’t we guilty of a double standard when there is manifest racism in our own country? India has long been a melting pot of cultures, languages, ethnicities and that has been her proudest tradition. How do we transcend above petty racism to embrace all humanity as one with ourselves?

Posted by admin on August 25th, 2010
Everyone continues to be amazed at how Indians survive & flourish, despite obstacles like corruption, brain-drain, poverty, inflation and religious and lingual diversity. There is something very unique about us ‘Indians’ and our social tolerance levels. What is that ‘INDIAN’ factor that keeps us motivated? Could it be something we inherited? Could it be something handed down to us over the ages? Is it something that we ‘happened’ to retain in us, despite several invasions? Perhaps, the key to India’s ‘fast-track’ progress lies in the discovery of this hidden ‘Indian’ factor within us! Your answers could inspire and motivate the Indian youth to nurture, nourish and ‘flourish’!
