India at 60: A 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.

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.

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 agree that India at 60 :a senior citizen. All we know knowledge & experience both are required for any type of success. I believe using this India become a powerful nation with in the next decade. So we never take the term 'senior citizen'as a negative way.

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.

India after 60 years is not a senior citizen but a country has developed tremendously in every sector. Be it service sector or IT India is giving tough competition to the other countries. In terms of education the literacy rates are increasing, earlier problems like child marriages nd female foeticide are also decreasing. It has developed in terms of medicines, hospitals their infratructure, we have the best doctors, engineers, lawyers. MNC are looking forward to India for expansion of their business. We are capable enough to spend a handsome amount for our security purposes, we have the best of arms and ammunition now. All these have happened gradually within these 60 years and still India has lot of potential because indias 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.

Yes India is a growing country but the are of focus should be "How to curb corruption?" It is very important to block black money transactions in India and to form a sound Government and strong constitution, That gives us the fruits of Success..!!

I totally disagree that India at 60 is a senior citizen. Over the last decade we have seen India growing at a fast pace which itself provides testimony to the fact that India is still young at heart. With big ventures in IT and marketing coming down to India, our country has way to go and a lot to achieve and give to the Indians. The for-longing taste of development is yet to come and with the maximum population of youth in India a lot more is yet to come.

Indian culture coins words like Shashwat & Achhaya for itself meaning omni(always) present and non decaying Human endeavors(Dharma) to develop himself and find truth. Not only Sciences but every true and beautiful thing is a part of this journey. When its culture rejects the concept of ageing then how we children of this great county can dare to say or listen that India is at 60, a senior citizen. We only know that we the Indians are at work.

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.
