Our country used to be the fastest growing developing country in the world. Our culture. Our legislation. Our history. Our achievements. But talk about present. Is India really going to host Common Wealth games ?????? People got a chance to fill their pockets and they have already done so. So they don't really bother if we really host the games. Has any body though how much embarresment would we have to face. Kashmir issue is now in the guiness book of world's record for longest going controversy with most casualties. Marathi and bhaiya controversy. All the MPs with the criminal records in UP and Bihar. The literacy rate. The killing of female baby in the Womb. I really love the country and I am truly proud to be Indian but now our own system makes me feel sorry. I have a 2 yr old kid and am worried about him, what future would he have if I don't earn money to bribe schools. I really used to be proud of being Indian.

People got a chance to fill their pockets and they have already done so. So they don’t really bother if we really host the games. Has any body though how much embarresment would we have to face.

Kashmir issue is now in the guiness book of world’s record for longest going controversy with most casualties.

Marathi and bhaiya controversy.

All the MPs with the criminal records in UP and Bihar.

The literacy rate.

The killing of female baby in the Womb.

I really love the country and I am truly proud to be Indian but now our own system makes me feel sorry.

I have a 2 yr old kid and am worried about him, what future would he have if I don’t earn money to bribe schools.

Despite the jokes about the lack of toilets in India, mohenjo daro had more civic infrastructure than to be seen for another 3000 year anywhere else in the world. 2. Zero, India's contribution to the world of mathematics. It may not hit you, but it is the number you have to be creative to understand. 3. Efficiency of ISRO. 4. Functioning chaos that our political systems is, but it is still better than most others in the world. 5. What a treat it was to have Dr Manmohan Singh as PM and Dr. A. P. J. Kalam as the president. You will be hardpressed to find so well educated top politicians elsewhere. 6. Despite the history and attitude, still 130 million muslims live in rather peace in this country. 7. Despite very strong regional identities we all have a very strong belonging to the country. Witness a cricket match if your don't believe. For even more real stuff go back 10 years to Kargil war. 8. Education is valued so very much and it can change your life. Cracking a decent entrance exam is your best and easiest ticket to good life. Unlike being a footballer or an Idol or something. 9. Although we are not in the league of developed nations, but we are not afraid of them. For examples watch WTO summit or the way India negotiated on the nuclear deal etc. 10. Google is not censored. There is no rotting corner of our system that we want to hide. I guess I will make my own list

There are 3.22 million Indians in the US. I do not think that there is anything to be proud of in this statement. On second thoughts, I wonder who compiled this list. A chauvinistic teenager waiting for his US visa. A country should be proud of its achievements. Going abroad and prostituting your education is okay, but nothing to be proud of. 27.

It is not prohibited to think and question. Considering we got independence just half a century ago, I think we have come a long way and the hunger to go further seem insatiable. We don't mind taking what is good from other culturs. And for the last, because my heart says so. Just some of the reasons are,
