In the last 70 years, have we achieved much? or we fall short of what we could have done?
I am not proud of India, or of Indians.
But there are things that Indians have done well - Space programme and software come to mind. We are considered a military power and the permanent membership of security council is often talked about.
Who should we compare ourselves with?
African countries still reeling in poverty, or China which has grown by leaps and bounds?
Is this democracy a success? We have done well when compared to Pakistan, or Myanmar.
Or would we have been better off by being a political economy like that of China or Singapore?
I don't feel proud or inferior.
I'm just curious.
