Vision India from Freedom is not Free
by Shiv Khera
Close your eyes. Keep them closed for a minute. Dare to dream. Think of a
wonderful future in which India is a beautiful place. We are a compassionate
and caring society. We are the beacon of courage and integrity. We have
eradicated the scourge of poverty. Power cuts and poor governmental services
are unheard of. We lead the world in many areas of business and technology.
The air is unpolluted and our sleep, undisturbed. We command respect across
the world. We are a society, free from crime. People from all nations adhere
to the example set by our Nation and want to live in India.
We can achieve all of this and more, as other countries have done before us!
And why not? We have all the ingredients to create a recipe for success ?
talented people, natural resources, a functioning democracy and an appetite
for growth and development. However, have we arrived ? Not yet!
Have you ever wondered, why some societies are more conducive to honest and
progressive living than others? It is not a secret. They simply think and
act more effectively. They create a climate that rewards honesty and hard
work.
A road map?s purpose is to help people travel with confidence. The pages of
history are full of information on civilizations that were once technically
strong, but gradually vanished.
The ones that survived were those that refused to go with the flow and stood
firm, supported by the pillars of values and institutions.
A great management consultant once said, ?Any behaviour that gets rewarded,
gets repeated.? This is an universal principle. It cuts across countries,
religions and cultures. It is demonstrated in our homes, offices and
societies. When you reward positive behaviour, then that gets repeated too.
Values are principles that guide our actions. Positive values, such as
integrity, fairness and empathy, result in positive behaviour and build a
positive society. This in turn, is conducive to honest living, growth and
development. Negative values such as cheating, dishonesty, greed and
inferiority complex result in negative behaviour, generating a negative
society, which becomes conducive to dishonest living.
Commonly-practiced individual behaviours collectively form a social culture,
get labelled as either positive or negative and in turn, are reflected in
the quality of life that people lead. Positive culture is reflected as an
asset on the balance sheet of society.
