India at 60: A 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.

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.

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.

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.

Hello frinds.

I think age doesn't matter for taking good decision, may be with age of 20 any one may have better dicision taking capabality than 60, so it, is a matter of knowlege not the age.

I strongly disagree that because they are not making decision quickly.

Age of a person doesn't affect the performance and talent of, the retirement age of India is 60.

But Singapore it is 63, in Australia, it is 67.

The senior citizens are experiencing all things, they are guided younger citizens. Tha nation will be developed.

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.

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.
