India at 60: A Senior Citizen?

The way we are progressing we cant say we are senior citizen see the projection of crisil of 8. 4% in next year, the zooming stock market it touched 20k although it is correcting now the number of IPO which hit the stock market this year. The recognition by world of India as a one of the fastest growing economy. The entry of giants like walmart shows our potential and we are looking a step forward the concept of democratic divident shows that we will be the only nation in coming year to enjoy the benifit of our young population in coming years so India is energetic and wise not a senior citizen.

I agree with the statement that india is 60 and that it is behaving like a senior citizen of among other countries.It knows much things going in the nation but don't argue with other nations for some reasons . Everyone knows about mumbai attacks and other such incidents like happenings on border sides. That is called maturity that india has gained in these 60 years.
India can become a superpower in not more than 5 years because of its human resource and experience. The only thing needed is the sincerity and a bit of hardwork that indians need to do and reduce the corruption levels.

Age is just a number. No matter you are in 60s or 70s or 80s, it is will power and the warmth of our mind that dictate us. India has had many eminent senior personalities such as Dr Kalam, Dr vargheese kurien and so many who were active in-spite of their age. It was their eagerness to contribute to the nation drove them all through their life. The Metro Man, Sri E Sreedharan is an exemplary living example. I would suggest the government to provide incentives and opportunities for those senior citizens who will to work challenging their age.

Hi friends! I'm rani. I am not agree with this. I want to take an example of a man. It is said that if he is out of 60, he is a senior citizen and he may or not be capable to do work physically but he can share his knowledge, experience and ideas to do a great job. But our country is not only like that man because it is not only like that senior citizen it has capability to do best because in our nation people of different age are here and a many great thought will make our country great. So we can call it as a " capable senior citizen.

India at 60. I disagree that its a senior citizen because if we compare with other nations they have tremendously grown and have become developed countries but India still is lagging behind. The proper usage of technology, infrastructure, management is necessary for its development. Why India is still struggling to curb poverty, corruption and black money? Senior citizen has more experience and hey know what to do at a particular situation, how to take decisions etc but India still has to grow to reach that status.

India at sixty is a teenager whom everyone in the world praises for the potential it has but it is his own might that will drive him forward and not the world around. India at sixty must choose the right alternatives work on the right platform and look for the long term goals rather than the soft one. this goes for the government of the country specially the finance minister who i believe is hindering the path of success just for achieving high gdp, he must rather try and look for tough yet long term decisions.

Here the age of India mention as 60 but India is much older than that. Older India is the 'Golder bird' of the world. But due to foreign invention India lost its glow but after Independence power is now again to India's own people and India continue to achieve its previous glory and it will get soon. The power of India is always with the mature and young mind to so it rise drastically. India is a nation not a living thing [which has a definite start and end]. So it is impractical to count as its age.

Hi.

According to the Indian government, a person completed 60 years of age is considered as senior because my India government think that he or she has only 60 years of life to earn and contribute for society and home.

Nowadays, old people strong in their work and strength because they are senior in experiences not senior in age because they experienced more in those 60 years of their great journey. We give respect for their experience in professional and personal lives not by seeing the digits 60.

yes i completely agree with the statement that India is at 60,behaving like senior citizen.Every decision which our leaders are making these days should be liberal enough to satisfy the demand of all parties involved in the coalition government just as senior member in the family has to satisfy all need of each and every member.
ex-Present UPA govt can't take action against 2g scam culprit A.Raja just because DMK,its allies will quit from the govt shows India behaviour as senior citizen.

I don't agree with this statement. At the age of sixty it men working time of a people has expired and its a time of being rest. But it is depending on capability of person that he or she must be retired or not. There must be certain provision for retiring employee that he can leave job when he unable to work or when he wish to leave but in an appropriate manner.

So I am directly disagree with this statement that at the age of 60 must not be a senior citizen.

Thanks a lot.
