India is known as the mother of democracy,. has the power of its people to elect leaders through the ballot, a cornerstone of its national character. However, there's been a shift in the wind frm last couple of years. Some voices lament the erosion of rights, like the cherished freedom to speak one's mind. Concerns hve risen as media outlets find themselves walking a tightrope, cautiously navigating around government criticism.
Is your country free from any domination ruled?
India spread its wings and broke free from British colonial rule on August 15, 1947, a moment etched in its memory. From that day on, it stood tall as a self-governing nation, steering its destiny with its own hands.
Yet, just like in any grand tale, there are twists nd turns. India isn't puppeteered by external rulers anymore, but it does grapple with its own share of puzzles and intricacies. It's a story of independence,. self discovery, nd the ongoing dance of shaping its future on its own terms.
Is your country self-sufficient in food production?
In terms of food production, India has advanced significantly nd has attained a level of self sufficiency in a no. of staple crops. The 1960s nd 1970s Green Revolution was instrumental in boosting agricultural output and reducing India's reliance on food imports. Although India produces a sizable amount of food, it still has difficulties managing its water resources, maintaining food security for its expanding population, nd dealing with distribution and storage issues.

Let's talk about the youth and their job scene in India. We've got this big, bustling bunch of young folks, and it's like a canvas full of potential waiting to explode. But its not alwayz what it look like. See, giving all these energetic minds meaningful jobs isn't a walk in the park. There's this dance b/w economic growth, education, and the kind of jobs that fit the bill.

People are workiing on it, though. There's a bunch of stuff happening from boosting skills to firing up entrepreneurial spirits. Tech and services are having their moment too. Still, remember, every corner of India's a different story, and the plot keeps changing. So, yeah, youth employment is a mix of dreams, challenges, and a dash of reality.
What you want your country to be like?
I want my country to shed all that negativity, to climb up the ladder nd claim its spot among the world's best. What keeps me up at night is., the thought of a place where everyone gets a shot at success, no matter where they come from.
But let's be real, the current scene isn't all sunshine nd rainbows. We've got these communal clashes, conflicts, and yeah, even mob lynching. It's like a storm cloud hanging over our dreams.
What I'm really pushing for is a makeover a shift towards unity, empathy, and progress. Imagine a world where our differences become our strengths, and we kick hatred to the curb. It's time to flip the script and write a new chapter filled with understanding, togetherness, and a chance for everyone to shine.
Thank you, friend!
