india since independence....

India then and India now if we compare the two pictures it will be clear that the country has progressed in terms of growth and development in each and every sector. The country has undergone a major political, cultural and economic change since independence. If we go in details we will see that today's focus is mainly on creating India a strong, unified nation, and a dynamic economy. But all of which have been put into jeopardy in recent years by increased cross border terrorism inter-caste conflicts, and the worst communal massacres since Independence. For a nation like India, politically subjugated, for centuries by alien conquest, and socially unsettled by invasions, the idea of becoming a super power is no ordinary thought. Understandably, even after winning freedom, India never aspired seriously to become a super power, politically or economically.

After India achieved freedom it thought of becoming a global leader based on Indian values of universal tolerance, peace and brotherhood. But these high values had no reverence in a world which respected only power so India was swiftly marginalized. With the passage of time slowly and steadily India fought back its drawbacks and faults made in past and tried to recover the losses incurred. Since independence India has transformed a lot. It has improved in each and every sector be it economy, agriculture, education and technology. The Indian economy has made great strides since 1947. Notably in the past few years the cities in India have undergone tremendous infrastructure up gradation. Many predicted that India because of its diversities in culture, religion, casts, language, manners and identities will not be a united democratic country but it proved everyone wrong. Instead of having numerous internal and external problems it has survived as a nation with a single identity.
