Living in the past...

[jaiganes]

Simon says...
We invented zero so we are not backward.
We invented the pi. so we are not backward.
We had great stories and epics, so we are light years ahead of everybody else.

Robert says...
We invented sati, so we are backward and third world.
We have child labour so we are backward and we are third world.
We give only men the rights to do final rites, so we are backward.
We discriminate based on where and in which family one is born, so we are light years behind the world.

I say, We might have had a glorious past. However we had enough poison to spoil everything. Should we be proud of our ancient heritage or in our modern outlook where we run extra mile an extra hour everyday to catch up with the fast progressing modern world? Tell me friends where do you want to be? in ancient Bharath or modern India?
