The blurred line between fun and depravation

Moving into the new millennium India was considered as the emerging super power comparable with US, Japan and China. A key factor for this prediction was the burgeoning growth of youth as a percentage of the total population. Come 2012, China is already witnessing some effects similar to the developed countries of the Western Hemisphere where the percentage of aged population is superseding the percentage of working population (youth). India is not yet expected to touch this threshold in the next two decades. But for India to realize this "advantage of youth" its youth need to understand the significance of the expectations resting on their shoulders and work for taking it to fruition. This brings us to the topic of fun and depravation; the blurred line that many youth fail to perceive!

The Second Freedom Movement of India

India, a few centuries ago, had nearly 20% of the entire known world’s wealth and it was this enormous wealth which attracted the innumerable plunderers and colonists from ancient times. The recent treasures discovered in the cellars of a South Indian temple are testimony to the incalculable treasures stolen from our country. The repeated onslaughts by the various cultures and countries left the majority of the population bereft of wealth and basic comforts. But finally, Indians managed to throw away the yoke of colonialism and fight their way through to complete freedom. Er... did I say “complete” freedom?
