A layman's version of building a state

Woke up with a strong urge to contribute something back to the society, to add to this the priest's sermon on Mission Sunday - leads me to think of the issues, the nation is facing..If you were to ctrl+alt+del now and help creating a better world - what would you do? This led me to look at state building - what does the present state/nation contribute to the upliftment of the individual who lives here and vice versa. What are the roles/responsibilities of every individual in the nation?All these lead me to think on these issues. While problems are aplenty, I decided to narrow my thoughts to make some meaningful planning. 1) economic : 70-80% of our people live in poverty 2) social : we face problems of anti social elements name them terrorists, naxalites, goondas As I kept day dreaming on how I would solve these problems, my focus went on how the haves can address the situation but prefer to either remain silent or aggravate the situation.

Population and its advantages

India is expected to be #4 economy by 2050. Not sure if I/We will be there to witness this but I agree with the reasoning. India should be the most populous country and population brings an advantage - guess how... 1) All products for all groups will be sold in India (from luxury to poverty line) 2)India will have more people to deliver services and if we develop core competencies, we can create economies of scale in manufacturing industry as well - not sure if we will do well in the agro sector. Manufacturing and Services can pedal India right to the top of the world
