INDIA AT SEVENTY FIVE

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” If  what  Darwin said  is true then  there is immense  hope for India. In any SWOT  analysis  our  flexibility would be our  major   strength and in a world  where change is the only constant  Indians are definitely  having    innate competitive advantage  with  their learned adaptability .

 

Root  spring of our   flexibility is our   diversity  ,and  in modern India  a critical   mass  is   exposed   to diversity of language  , sub cultures  and  social systems. Please  consider the  following  guesstimates  about  the  multiple language skills of Indians .

 

 

Percentage   of Indians in Global   population knowing  two languages                             20-40%

 

 

Percentage   of Indians in Global   population knowing  three languages                          30-50%

 

 

Percentage   of Indians in Global   population knowing  four  languages                           40-60%

 

 

Percentage   of Indians in Global   population knowing five   languages                           60-70%

 

 

Percentage   of Indians in Global   population knowing six    languages                           70-80%

 

 

The  skills with  multiple  languages  and  exposure  to   different sub cultures  prepares the  Indian Mind   for  adaptability  and is one of the major reasons for   success of Indian   diaspora.  

 

There are  enough  reasons to hope  for a bright  future for India , lets  work  to  convert our  strengths  into  excellence
