Rise and rise of India

Since NDA, under the leadership of BJP took reign at the Center, with dynamic, patriotic PM Modi at the helm, India has made tremendous progress, especially turning India’s economy from the rural agricultural base to a mixture of agriculture, industry and service. With freely available, highly educated and dedicated workforce, Western conglomerates are bending backward to open “Call Center” in India.

I am sure most readers would have experienced talking to a polite operator, mostly young, articulate girls based in Delhi, Bangalore or in Mumbai, the financial Capital of India, as well as the heart of Bollywood.

Our service industry is taking fair advantage of this cheap, highly skilled labour market that provides well paid white collar jobs, especially to young graduates.

Now India is destined to replace Britain as the fifth biggest economy, based on national GDP. With the success of Modi’s “Made in India” policy still to blossom and India taking giant step to become the third most visited nation on tourist front within a decade with medical tourism playing an important role, creating some tem million jobs, there is no stopping. No wonder many young Indians who come here for studies and used to stay on, are going back in droves, many finding good jobs, being recruited from here.

India being such a vast and varied nation with population rising fast, unemployment will always be a problem, lingering on the horizon for the unscrupulous politicians to take advantage of. Indian politics is dynamic, on roller coaster and politicians are prepared to go to any length to win but election is fair, as “Election Commissioner” enjoys enormous power and uses it wisely.
