India at 60: A Senior Citizen?

Post Independence for the fist 2 decades we were recovering from the colonial impact. Then in late 60's the green revolution and 5years plans put the country on the track of development. After LPG (Liberalization, globalization and privatization) in last decade of previous century we picked up the pace and industrial diversification by opening our market to foreign players put the country on world map as a strong country. But for the last few years our political sickness has hampered our growth. India is going back to slavery, this time to our own corrupted politicians. We might be getting old but our mentality is getting sicker day by day. There is a need for every citizen to stop being just a statistics on a census chart and contribute in India's growth. Expecting Anna Hazare to rotate the magical wand to clear the corruption will only work if we realize that we are that magical wand and we will have to change our mind set to change this country.

I am not agree that we are still infant we can take good decision whatever happening in our country and know well how to face our problem. We take any type of challenge without any support.

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.

I don't agree with the statement as it depend upon the person, there are people who are more efficient than the mid aged person so there should be some criteria on which persons efficiency should be verified so that there would be no imposition on one's to retire.

Hi friends, I'm Anitha. In my view both positive attitude and knowledge is necessary for to get the success in any business. By having knowledge we will improve our firm to highest peaks and having positive attitude will make us to handle the hurdles that are occurring in the business patiently. So both are necessary for to be success in business.

I don't agree with the statement whatsoever because a person work efficiency should not be judged by the number of lines of wrinkles on his face or his age. Thus a person should be allowed to work till he can give his 100% and deliver qualitatively.

Thank you.

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.

Still India has lot of potential because India's youth is very mature, talented and intellectual which comprises more among the other age group. India is prospering now which is evident from the GDP.

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.

Senior citizens is a good adjective to the citizens having vast experience in different field of life. Being senior we should unite share in building the country free from all evils& devils. Most of us sharing gossip on Facebook or else& doing nothing. Please select a dream for nation. Do something. With warm welcome.
