In direct way this blog is not related to it's theme of Salvation and Jainism. But in indirect sense it definitely relates to it. As Jain brothers settled in U.S. can try to give the contents a thought. It was last day of my stay at U.S. During my stay I became member of Indian Parents of working youngsters .On my last day I was offered send off by the group, During our meeting naturally the topic was good things of U.S and the areas needed to be covered by India.
Here with I summarize views of my friends. Not necessarily correct.
No doubt since majority of members have not visited other countries and had also limited U.S. area covered, views expressed herewith cannot be taken as final or expert views .
1-First View--- In my view the visit is a experience to watch life style. Historical places or sight seeing is common in all visits. But what impressed me is to see happy people. The country's success can be attributed to vision. They preferred to sell knowledge or new ideas to rest of world instead of serving local market demands, Let it be software ,defense, aircraft or other innovative products. For it they have provided basic peace, free society and hassle free education system with world class Universities. That is reason nine out of ten
biggest corporate giants belong to US. If mind is free and tension free, it can think differently and can aim to achieve what seems to be difficult. A unique or innovative product can enjoy monopoly ,give the country price advantage making the exchange rate strong. Such products take care of local youth job creation beside creating global employment opportunities, Education within specified radius of the location is free in public schools. Students are encouraged to have varied interest in music ,arts and orator skills and other development.
The country welcomes all scholars in spite of caste, breed or nationality to part good education at their price. If one has new idea authorities are all set to assist him with his venture or start up.
2-Second View---I feel clear cut laws and corruption free efficient enforcement agency make the life of middle class enjoyable. A quick judiciary system creates confidence in law of land. I do not think an ordinary man is ever required to visit any officer, or public officer or representative to get his work done. Most work can be possible on line. In our country school admission of a kid can be a challenge. Here the green card grant requires certain period. In this period the personal record of a individual is tracked. It automatically makes the person responsible citizen. It offers transparent data of an individual. It can help to have good records candidates in elections. Kid are being taught civic sense and discipline since school days. For them it is almost important to see that our actions are not causing any smallest inconvenience to others, People are not free to throw garbage any where or park vehicles any where, In our country We had to run cleanliness mission orally ( with out providing steel bins on street ). No doubt literacy plays a big role. Green lawns ,big roads ,big fly overs .big cars all create a fascination for newcomer. One can observe smiling crowd on street. In our country we step out our
house with unknown fear. Even birds like pigeons are not afraid of human being. It is a symbol of fearless society. Almost every where there is separate arrangement for handicapped be it bus ,restroom or footpath. It's care treatment is worth copying. They believe in theory of prevention rather than disaster management. Every house must have smoke alert device for fire warning signal. Majority of trucks must be covered permanent body for safety and convenient objects.
Staring at woman is bad manner there, while we could not eradicate rape related crimes and molestation. I really envy the smiling faces of crowd. They trust you completely (I do not know if due to CCTV coverage or otherwise).In all malls we visited, never had we been subjected to physical security check except only for airports.
3-Third View--In my opinion the country is enjoying fruits of better infrastructure. Minimum six lines of concrete roads. world class airports. railway stations and buses make the life easy. It caused very flourishing business of automobile and all other transportation mode with auxiliary units. It can add to their development and prosperity.
Traffic rules are so strict with camera and radar assistance any rule broken can be taken care with ticket accompanied by violation incident photograph. Self adjusting signals, dividers so many good things one can observed. The minimum gap between two cars is to be maintained. No horn blowing is required. Pedestrian are being given priority to cross roads. A rare sight in Our country. Most cities are planned. Streets are identified by two directions and two number section and intersection. It avoid personal names of buildings, roads.
4-Fourth View---- In my view the benefits of progress are reached to bottom. Minimum wages ranges from 12$ onward for a hour. It made labor costly, It resulted into more automation and self sufficiency. There is total gender equality. In our country, we do not allow certain jobs to woman. I could not see any such restrictions here. One can see women power in almost all field. With strict visa regulation there is check on inward flow. The country had blessing of natural resources .ample land and manageable population. With better good administration opportunities are turned into realities for youngsters.
5-Fifth View--I liked the county. But will not like my kids to settle here. I feel absence of spirituality here. Youth work hard for five days. On week ends enjoys life socially. The society is too open. One can have weapons easily. Since they believe in free life, no curb on some non essential luxuries. Too much of anything can lead to depression or psychological problems They needed spiritual guidance to distinguish between good deeds and bad deeds (Sin and Punya) with mediation to have inner peace as taught in Jainism. It can be good in long run.
I had very tough time to search for Jain or pure vegetarian food. Indian settled here are trying to keep cultural link alive by calling parents to mix with kids, Indian language classes and religious classes etc.. That is a ray of hope.
The gathering lasted for nearly two hours.It was a nice experience.
It was a sweet flash back of my memories of U.S It showed me that willingness, right education. and participation of people can make any country Great---------!!! Let us dream to bring good things of it to our country and make it great. It is difficult but not impossible.
