India in 2050 and beyond

India in 2050 and beyond

Do you know , what is the hot topic among the emerging economies ? It is, which country will have highest GDP in year 2050 and who will be the controlling the world at that time.
Many Speculate it will be either China or India. But others think US will retain its current position. Nobody is quite sure how it is going to be like in year 2050. As i am Indian , i would love India to be at number one position as quickly as possible and let the growth rates grow from current 8% to 9 , 10 and more. If at all this happens, I was just imagining and drawing parallels between US states and cities to Indian states and cities. The reason behind this would be because of my limited knowledge about other countries and also because of personal experience in being and knowing the both US and India fairly very well.

So how would India look in 2050 when it is at the helm , super power , etc.

1. Delhi should look like Washington DC and all the cities around Delhi must be as current DC area like McLean , Reston , Herndon etc...

2. Mumbai , Pune should become like New york , New Jersey with super fast train facility

3. Chennai must look like Huston Texas , IIT Madras as Texas Austin University

4. Bangalore must be a hub like Atlanta, Georgia

5. Gujarat state must progress like California State. And Ahmadabad,Kutch, etc must look like the Bay Area

6. Kerala should be just like Florida state , and Thiruvanthapurum like Miami. Kanyakumari should look exactly like Key west.

7. Hyderabad and Andhrapradesh state should be similar to Denver and Colorado with lots of business activities.

8.Calcutta should be like Seattle Washington

9. Bihar , Orrisa , Assam states should be like Massachusetts , Connecticut and Patna should be like Boston

10. Madhya Prashesh should be like Pennsylvania state or like states in Central America.

11. Rajasthan state should be like Arizon and Nevada states and Jaipur should look like Las Vegas

12. IIT Delhi , Bombay , Kanpur and Khargpur should be huge universities like Stanford , Harvard , Berkley and MIT

In this way i can keep going. Bottom line is people should start seeing these kind of development, infrastructure and access to become number one country in world. I am sure India will eventually become super power. Even though i am not optimistic about it, but i would like to end this blog on a positive note, if not in 2050 India will eventually become a super power one day we just do not know when it is going to happen.

Happy New Year

I wish all my blog readers a very Happy New Year, Let the year 2007 bring in all the success and happiness to you all. This year I felt the New Year celebration in Bangalore was more colorful and I could see more people on streets compared to last year. I received many SMS, with messages saying that the network will be jammed on 31st December. But in fact our service providers were all set for more traffic for 31st December. They could manage it. I guess Airtel, BSNL, HTUCH, Spice, Reliance, TATA & other mobile/Telephone service providers made good money on this New Year occasion. It is estimated around 1 Billion rupees!!!. This reminds me the Hutchison-Essar deal; it is estimated to be around 17 to 18 billion dollars. So if you make right calculations, 10 such New Year occasions will make the company go past break even and make more profits.

India needs Revolution.

Have you ever renovated your house while staying in it. Believe me it is a mess. In early 90s, my father was did a small renovation of our house and we stayed in the house while extending a part of kitchen, bathroom and dining hall. I was not comfortable during those 30 days of renovation. There was no privacy coz, workers were every where doing the job. The entire place was full of dust. The small tiny particles of sand and cement were there in all the places. My mom used to clean the house all day long to keep it clean. Once the renovation completed, there was sense of relief and I particularly was happy because of no dust. I am telling you this story because this exactly fits the current Indian system. Be it the Nair Radia tapes, Telecom Scandal, common wealth scandal,political parties, etc. By seeing India from a distance, as i am currently outside India, i feel India is still in process of renovation, there is corruption every where. Everybody know all political parties and bure...

Nostalgic about food.

Have you ever experienced in your life a certain addiction to a particular food with particular flavor and taste.No matter you eat that food any where in the world you will never ever get satisfied and you constantly miss that taste.And sometime you regret that you could not eat as often as you could, simply because we could not afford it. It was way back in late eighties when i used to live in beautiful Bangalore. Unlike today Bangalore was so peace full and a calm place my brother and me used to ride a bicycle and go to a mobile shop(i.e a small shop on wheels) and eat "Masala poori" and "Pani poori" which used to cost us just Rs 1.50 a plate, together we both would spend utmost 6 rupees. we used to go some where around 7:30 and 8 PM in the night relish the great stuff.  I agree it was not the most hygienic food. After seeing the way food is prepared and eaten across the world i don...
