BHARAT VS INDIA A DIVIDED NATION

The title of the essay,” Bharat vs India a divided nation” has become quite evident as the problems we are facing are pushing us into a dark tunnel of a divided nation with a small lamp at the end of this throwing eternal light of hope, mutual trust and sense of confidence. The display of unity and solidarity during the great struggle of freedom from the yoke of British imperialism that we had before independence all appears to be fading away in this modern dynamics of globalization and the presence of occidentalism. But delving deep into this burning topic, Bharat vs India, is all about the different reasons which sound alarm to us as one nation. It may be Hindu vs Muslim, Urban vs Rural, or Hindi vs English as a national language.
In India there are people with two sets of ideologies, one which supports the concept of modern India and others which wants rural India to be developed. One supports the spending of 200 crores on a Bollywood movie, robust it's space agency while the other half wanting to take care of the basic needs of farmers so that they can grow and be a part of the economy, alleviating their suicide rate and providing fresh drinking water. Another major reason that makes us look divided is the riots between Hindu and Muslim, in the past 70 years, our government has always put this issue on the back burner and has done practically nothing to resolve this problem.
The issue of whether Hindi should be made a national language or not has made this cleavage even more wider. In my opinion we need to understand that India is a diverse nation, its taste of water changes after every 3 km and its language in 7 km. By making a particular language its national language, it will give advantage to some Sharma who is born with this as a mother tongue while causing disadvantage to one say Subramanian as it is completely different from its mother tongue.
Jawaharlal Nehru once said: ”Who lives if India dies, and who dies if India lives?”. We need to understand Bharat and India is distinct but interconnected, there cannot be an ideal India or Bharat. The beauty of our nation is the diversity that we inherited. We need to accept the flaws, celebrate our similarities and respect our differences. We need to build India with its Bharat as a major contributor. India is our dream and Bharat is our ideology.

What will be the impact of mobile phones becoming all-pervasive?

We often get confused between a smartphone and a mobile phone. A smartphone is a mini-computer which has its own operating software(OS) and is capable of performing intelligent tasks like gaming, Internet of things and calling with the help of an application, whereas mobile phones were made to perform a unique task of calling wirelessly. When Martin Cooper developed this technology in 1973, no one knew that it could be reiterated to such an extent and will affect all walks of life and become all-pervasive. The moot question here is that do smartphones or mobile phone have impacted human life. The stark reality is that whether we want it or not life is now incomplete without a smartphone. The amount of time an individual invests in a smartphone on various activities such as social media, gaming, and connecting with different people has made it an integral part of his life. It has become a Hamletian dilemma for humans to decide whether to give up the usage of a smartphone w...

Is India ready for smart cities?

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. If we can get things done by merely dreaming about it then India would have been a developed country long ago. But the thing with smart cities and bullet trains in India is that it is an overly hyped concept of political parties with no ground reality just to fulfil their political mileage at the time of elections. But the question of Is India ready for smart cities? It is the most important question asked at the time of elevating environmental problems and having 13 out of 25 most polluted cities in the world in India. Rather it is the need of the hour for the government to look into the concept of smart cities with pugnacious attitude and with a sense of clairvoyance for the development of future generations. It is a stark reality that India’s population will grow two folds till 2050. The only way to combat all of these problems is to take the concept of smart cities seriously. But the thing is that we cannot merely pluck the future of smart...
