Incredible India!India is a vast country. It is seventh largest in the world. Its population is set to become the largest in the world by 2025. It is a developing country and its economy is one of the fastest growing in the world.People of all religions and communities live together in harmony and it is a perfect example of ‘Unity in Diversity’.We have achieved great successes in the fields of literature, science, technology, sports, music and arts, space and so on.

But like every good thing, it also has many negative aspects also.So the question really is – “Is India Really Shining?”

Let us see some of the positive as well as negative aspects

In the following fields :

Politics Culture Sports

Secularity

Healthcare

Education

CULTUREPeople speak hundreds of languages and thousands of dialects. They practice all different kinds of music, dance and arts. India is famous for a large variety of clothing that can be bought from here. Different kinds of foods are also popular among tourists.But, there is a high level of gender and caste discrimination. Women are not given equal rights or facilities as men.

SECULARITY

All religions like Hindus, Christians, Muslims, Sikhs and many others can be seen in India. However there is disunity amongst some of them. Hindus and Muslims have a traditional rivalry.There is also a lot of regional inequality. Some people are discriminated against if they belong to certain areas.

POLITICSIndia follows all the ideals of democracy such as free and fair elections, Universal Adult Franchise, Multi-party elections, etc.But as we know, Indian politics is full of corruption. Politicians do not know the best interest of the people. They are only concerned with their own welfare.SPORTS

India has achieved many successes in sporting fields like Cricket, Tennis, shooting, Boxing, Wrestling etc.But some of the sports persons are dishonest and take performance enhancing drugs. The sporting bodies are also corrupt. Back to Men

EDUCATIONOver the past few years the government has launched many programmes to promote education such as Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan.However, people in rural areas still don’t send their daughters to school. Compared to Foreign schools, India also has a long way to go.HEALTHCARE

Healthcare facilities in India have really advanced in the past few decades. The diagnostic techniques have become state-of-the-art.But, Healthcare in India is very expensive compared to the wages of the rural people which leads to overcrowding of the comparatively cheaper government hospitals due to our large population.

CONCLUSIONTherefore, we can say that India has progressed immensely in the past few decades in all the fields. We are the largest democracy in the world. WE are the fifth country to send an Orbiter to Mars. We have one of the largest armed force in the world.We have Mountains in the North, Deserts in the West, Coastal Plains in the South and Dense Forests in the North-East. We have diversity in relief features like no other country. India, with its varied heritage and culture, is truly a sight to behold!

However, the negative aspects such as corruption, illiteracy, very high population and lack of basic amenities and development have marred our progress.
