Rabindranath Tagore in his famous poem 'Sagarika', about ancient India's maritime glory, wrote thus during a visit to Bali around 80 years ago:
'You were sitting on a rocky shore when I first came here as a foreigner. You welcomed me. We picked flowers together. You were at home when I came again as a merchant prince. You welcomed me again. We worshipped the gods together. Then my fortunes declined. Today I have come to you only with my veena. I can see a lot of myself in you. Can you recognise me?'
Today, the Balinese have a ready answer, as is evident from the fact that Indians are recognised and greeted here.
Wherever an Indian goes in this island of the gods, the first question is: 'Are you a Hindu? I am.' From taxi drivers to tour guides to policemen, the question in this crowded little island of 2.5 million people does not vary.

India's confident GenX will raise the bar further

India's confident GenX will raise the bar further
24 Jul, 2007, 0356 hrs IST,Shreya Biswas, TNN
How do we measure the quantum of success for Indians on the global scene? Is this the peak we are seeing?
This is just the beginning, you will see more such success stories being flashed in the media in the years to come. The problem is, Indians by nature are shy. They do not make as great public speakers as their western counterparts do, barring a few. They may be doing some pathbreaking work, they don’t talk about it in public. At the most, their immediate colleagues may know and appreciate, but it’s limited to that. Actually, it is to do with the way they are brought up. This could change in the coming years as we get some aggressive youngsters on the block, in the post-reform era. These are more confident and less shy individuals who have only seen and take pride in a booming Indian economy.

India: The Fourth Great Power?
India: The Fourth Great Power?
by Dilip Mohite
In September 1954, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru told the Indian Parliament that “if you peep in the history, and nothing goes wrong, like wars and so on, then the fourth country (after US, USSR, and China) is India.” Arguably, Nehru’s statement was made in the context of his plans to attain rapid economic growth as well as industrial development for India through the soon-to-begin Five-Year Plans.
As India enters the 1990s, it appears poised to achieve the status that Nehru envisaged for it, not so much in the spirit he had visualized, but as a result of circumstances created by a series of events in the 1970s and the 1980s.
Post-independence Indian history can be divided into three major phases: the 1951 to 1962 phase of post-colonial economic reconstruction, the 1963 to 1975 phase of military buildup, and the 1976 to 1992 phase of economic growth through the gradual liberalization of the economy.
