In Praise of the Nehruvian Era
I am a senior manager from India who has met the challenges and commitments in a so-called non-enterprising Indian environment from the 1960s. I am retired and settled in the US and am trying to be active in the new economy by learning new things.

I wish the idea and the project of V.S. Arunachalam (the Sankhya Vahini) success. We need it even though we are probably late. As Arunachalam rightly points out, the seeds of our glory today were sown in the Nehru era to which I belong. Our generation might have made mistakes and created slower growth but we still built the infrastructure. Nuclear science, space research, establishment of top-class IITs and engineering and medical colleges were all done in that era. The fruits are visible now.

Growth, technology and a nation's priorities are functions of time and need. One has to view a country's progress in the light of these to understand why India adopted a slower growth model and not any other.

I am aggrieved that the achievement of the country in the past 50 years is not being conveyed to the people here. After all, we can't forget the past to grow now.
