Indian sloppiness

*       I always felt that we ( Indians ) have a mind of our own , I also regret that we don’t use it much .
*       We are intelligent , but we are also Lazy & Indisciplined … we use our intelligence to seek shortcuts &   shirk work . In a way Intelligence is both ; our biggest Advantage & our biggest Disadvantage  !
*       Wondering whether we Indians always had a slave mentality in that whether we always were required to be instructed / driven / controlled to deliver ; which mental disposition was then exploited by the British . Is it that it was always there – British only legitimized for the same
*       Or were the British the cause ( & not the beneficiary ) of our ‘ slave tendencies ‘ … is it that 150 years of being used as a slave / driven has created a genetic change in us to be working only with external pressure / fear and only if supervised ?

*       Are we conditioned to be Ruled by some one that we lost our way to Self -Management ?
THE ONLY PARADISE ON EARTH 

The auspicious occasion of our 69th birthday of ( & 70th ) independence day got me reflecting about what is that we as a Nation , as young as 69 years and with an envious parentage as of 7000 + years have achieved -- what is our most glorious accomplishment , I came up with amazing realisation .....

I was wondering if there is any race on planet Earth , which has not reached Indian soil in our history ... Greeks , Turks , Afgans , Mongols , , Hoons , Kushans , Shaks Persians , Arabs , Africans , British , Dutch , French , Spanish , Portughese.
This was a land of abundance from the times , we do not even know to count ... which became a land of aspiration for the World , with its unparalleled Wealth ... this was the land for the world to flourish. 

And what did with them  ? While no one from this land had a need or ' Niyat ' ( conscience ) to invade & plunder outside areas , we accommodated everyone . This was the land of assimilation and amalgamation . This Nation became the Grand Melting Pot , much before New York aimed claiming that title in recent times . We transformed & got transformed , we became one mass , even with who came here with intentions to Loot & Massacre 

Today when we look around for identity , can we make out what are our constituents ; which part of ours is Greek , which is Kushan , which is Aryan & which is Dravidian ... although we are not clones of each other & we look different , only distinct identity this mass of amalgamation has , is Indian ; with all prior , ' ancestral ' identities are hazy , if not dissolved ... I am talking about the pre historic identities we came from -- when we lost these traces long back , we had already become Indian - One Nation ... long before the British told us so  !

Isn't that , in itself , an amazing achievement ..... unparalleled in History & Geography .... Show me One country which has accommodated & transformed so much . Today when we attempt to reinvent dissenting identities , we often undervalue , if not ignore , such a beautiful accomplishment  !
