Deuteronomy 28:15
But
it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments
and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee.
These are some paradoxes that India needs victory over:
#Booming economy, yet deep poverty
India is the world's
5th largest economy. Yet it has 600 million people living in deep poverty and 300 million live below the bread line. Its annual
income is $370 per person, just 1.2% that of the USA.
#The best of world health
facilities, yet extensive disease
Indian doctors are the best in the world and are often on staff of the best
health facilities across the world. India too has world-class hospitals and health services, which now attract patients from
the developed world for great treatment at low prices. Yet, India has the world's highest number of AIDS, leprosy, polio and
tuberculosis patients. Millions die every year through water borne preventable diseases.
#Global appeal
Hinduism
is widespread around the world thanks to the migration of many Indians to every nation in the world. Many other cultures are
today increasingly influenced by the Hindu way of life. The Beatles made it fashionable and today Hindu gods and Hindu worship
practices are the backbone of trance music, New Age practices and Yoga. Hitler's Swastika symbol is a holy Hindu symbol that
is still found in almost every Indian business premise.
