By virtue he meant punctuality, frugality and honesty. These twin pillars of virtue and proficiency, if I reckon rightly, made America what it is today [never mind if this concept was lampooned elsewhere as ‘they make tallow out of cattle and money out of men’].<br><br>India in spite of all her spiritual background propounded by her forest dwelling ascetics lacks the ethos that fosters the growth of the virtues mentioned. Scam chasing scam in regular succession, politicians as well as central ministers playing hide and seek with the law and law enforcers, sham universities spouting like mushrooms and many more unsavoury facts have wrought havoc with our body politic. I am not speaking about Bihar in particular which hangs like some obscene pudendum on our national corpus but about our whole country. I am not aware what is the story in China which accounts for 10 percent of the world trade and how transparent its legal system is; but can India ever make an impact if she allows these malignant sores to prey on her entrails? Can corporate India be ever aloof from these all entangling tentacles? How many palms have to be greased before a project can be undertaken?<br><br>Fiscal discipline, for that matter any form of discipline, requires the ability to say no to an easy life and easy money. ‘Man must earn his daily bread by the sweat of his brow’ as it is said, should be ingrained in the minds of our youth before they venture out to take on the world.<br>Mere proficiency in the IT, ITES and publishing industry will not suffice in the long term.yudhistirchoudhuryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16750527068350132428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319550251383564685.post-58864362343832703222005-10-07T20:37:00.000-07:002005-10-07T20:37:00.000-07:00Keep it up.
