next month, in November, India will see at least 2 great, global forums.
A Taste of India is the TEDIndia conference in Mysore.
And world economic forum is having his summit in New Delhi:
Indias Next Generation of Growth
The greatest English speaking democracy of the world has moved forewards in large steps since the days of independence via Gandhi and others. The community of expats and intelligent great people outside this country is making history worldwide too.
This culture, full of ancient wisdom, beeing the origin of the worlds greates spiritual teachings and figures, is on the way into modernity. Within the next 50 years India will be without doubt one of the global superpowers. its location on the IIndian subcontinent has geocultural realtions to the Mideast a well as to Asia.
And as part of former British commonwealth India is well connected for a long time already to the English speaking universe.
It has some Bollywoods and lots of Nigerias.As Fareed Zakrai said. And, as Nandan Nilekani in imaginingindia.com says there are parts living in the 17th century, the 18th century as much as ones living in 20th century and 21st century. So to speak time zones measured in degrees of devlopmental dynamics.
My congratulations to all Indian friends here on Gaia and those who live in neigbourhood to India and were born there.
Namaste!
The Great Inidian Novel goes into a new big round and a new chapter:):)
