India now &then
in Daily Dose
Although modern images of India often show poverty and lack of development, India was the richest country on earth until the time of British invasion in the early 17th Century. Christopher Columbus was attracted by India's wealth. :)

    India was and is rich but the social justice has always been an issue!

    Also our tendency to rest on past laurels and not take efforts to preserve what we have in hand has led to increasing poverty! Once upon a time, we had scores of artisans who created masterpieces such as Konark Sun Chariot, Ajant Ellora caves etc. etc. and now it is difficult to get even a single artisan who would do a good job at creating something!

    Corruption certainly helped deterioration of our culture!

    You are absolutely correct,Kalyani! Glamorising our glorious past won't help our cause and what we have proved ourselves to be? Their unworthy successors!!

    Our history records the reigns of some kings who were more caring and conscientious than our presentday democratic rulers who at times behave like tin-pot despots!!!

    All invaders to India came due to the richness of India and all of them exploited it well.

    Our biggest problem is that we believe more on others than we do on ourselves. This has drowned India always.
