Answer:
Many say India must get "Developed", but then what is development?Does that mean high rise buildings , busy roads, a fast life and smoke bellowing industries everywhere? It seems this is the model of development we are following but this is not the path i want my country to take.
India must be a harbinger of peace , a compassionate nation know for its intellectual currents and a good quality of life for its citizens
This means I do not want India to become another USA - the world does not need another policeman nor do I want India to be known for it's guns and weapons whom everybody "fears" .Rather we must try to follow the footsteps of some European nations like Germany(of past few decades) and the Nordic nations . We must provide excellent quality of life for our citizens - Health, education etc where each individual feels that his/her life is valued.
India has solid civilization values for this. What we lack is a uniform distribution of wealth. If we can get rid of the economic and social inequalities then I believe India will become a heaven- with it's warm spiritual soul and colorful spirit.
How we achieve equality is the question . Sadly, our present model of development is getting us growth but the inequalities still remain . Also, we must seek to live in harmony in nature and not just set up industries because an "industry" seems to connote development. Rather, now the world is realizing there is nothing "backward" about Agriculture. So, in my view we must focus in Agriculture, Services and Tourism. India has the land and climate to become the kitchen for the world. As climate change dawns and world populations rises - globally food shortages will arise - India can provide solution to this global challenge and in this way also achieve the prosperity is seeks. Also, by focusing on agriculture, we will better the lives of farmers and the rural poor - thus also solving the inequality challenge to a large extent. We are already a global leader in the Services ( IT) sector - let us build on that. India has a HUGE potential in Tourism. India has everything that a nation needs to be a great destination - Blessed with a variety of Climate , natural beauty , Historical sites and vibrant culture - we have failed to build on these advantages. eg We have 7500 KM of coastline ! Nations with a tiny fraction of that attract tourists to their beaches.
Summing it up - my idea of INDIA is a place where we have removed "every tear from every eye" and the government provides opportunities for its citizens to discover their potential. Where, everybody does not necessarily have a car but there exists an excellent public transport system which everybody can afford. Where there is compassion and brotherhood . Where we "Live" life and not run a mad race for "Development" . Where "Love" wins over "Hate" .
