Answer:
Around a 125 years back, Indian Saint Swami Vivekananda during his visit to America visited the University of Michigan, where he told a group of journalists “This is your century right now, but 21st century is India’s century”. Prime Minister Modi also recalled that 21st century must belong to India. “We must strive to make the 21st century India’s century and the path to do that is ‘self-reliance.’ The centre and State governments are doing and will do what they can but there is a bigger question which needs to be addressed? Are we Indians willingly ready to be self Reliant? Is it possible for a country to be self reliant if its countrymen are not self reliant themselves?
It it possible to reach the goal by bypassing the process? We have to consciously make efforts to realise that vision. Swami Vivekananda’s concept of “oneness” is what we want today, we all would need oneness of the vision, oneness of the mind and effort, that what we see in organisations and successful teams. ‘India, the Nation as an organised and of one mind for Self Reliant India, this should be our goal. Ways, methods, processes, procedures and cources of action, can be different but one idea that has to be common is our prime goal to make India Self Reliant.
Swami Vivekananda throughout his life focused on the idea of ‘Man Making’ and, according to him, through this process of Man Making India will arise and awake once more and the ancient mother will be sitting on her throne rejuvenated, more glorious than ever. After the revolt of 1857 if we go down into the modern history one of the or the most important event in India’s history was Swami Vivekananda representing Indian Darshan, Culture and civilisation at the first World Parliament of Religions held at Chicago, USA on 11th of September 1893. During his first visit to the West (1893-1897) Swamiji with his epoch making speeches changed the prospective of how the west looks towards India. India was considered to be a country of snake charmers, land of superstitions and a slaves country which was being ruled by foreign invaders from centuries.First step towards Self reliant India will be to acknowledge our glorious past and out of that will rise the conviction to reclaim our position in the comity of nations. If India and Indians want to be self reliant how can we blindly follow any model, can we follow the West Blindly? Swamiji says “On one Side new India is saying, “If we only adopt Western Ideas, Western language, Western Food, Western Dress, and Western manners, we shall be as strong and powerful as the Western nations; on the other, old India is saying , ‘Fools ! By imitation of other’s idea it never become one’s own; nothing unless earned, is your own.’’ So we have to go by our natural tendency, the Indian way. We can learn from west but should not imitate their ways blindly. We have to look across the globe, and take ideas but absorb them in our own way.
Swami ji never talked about any idea on surface level, he used to touch the core and would go to any length to know the truth. While travelling in the west he observed that education has given enormous faith in one’s own self. In India we have to cover the length and the breadth of the land to give basic education to the last man, but for swami Vivekananda education was not a tool to get a job, rather he talked about “man making education’’ in his lecture The Future of India –
