There seems a systematic effort at creating disorder to please or protect vested interests and hence, there is a dire need to reflect on the present state of this nation and present an objective picture about the age and times we are living in. Beyond the hype, hypocrisy and hysteria, Bharat needs to be understood and presented as a proud and rich civilization.

A global economic power just in last 250 years lost the glory, how and why?  The emergence of India as an economic giant has been ratified by global Countries and Corporations, resulting in a significant shift in the Economic profile. However, has this growth and attention been inclusive and relevant to the diverse stake holders and demographic plethora of Bharat?  Is this evolution more of an imposition of a hybrid ideology or can it leads to a stable and equitable development to the benefit of the Nation. A prospective review of the largest democracy in the world, blessed with Demographic dividend which is set to realize its true potential in transforming the agricultural, industrial and service sector to become a global economic power.  The nature and objective of Economic policies have shifted increasingly to reflect a capitalistic perspective with greater freedom for the strong to survive and prosper with restrained resources for the needs of the poor and provision of welfare initiatives.  As Bharat surges forward as the leader of developing nations, has the focus shifted away from the needs of the predominantly rural and real Bharat? Are we on the path of being the engine of growth of a Global economy or is it an Illusion of our misplaced patriotism?
