From being ruled by the Great British Empire to almost becoming the next Prime Minister of Britain, Indians have come a long way.
200 years ago the British empire took over India but currently India seems to be taking over the world whether it be in politics or buisness. More than 30% of the CEO’s of major Fortune 500 companies and more than 10 world leaders and rulers of the world are currently Indians.
Indians like Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google and Satya Nadella the CEO of Microsoft are the next thought leaders of the world.
Rishi Sunak, the former chancellor of Britain is in the running to become the next Prime Minister of Britain. While he has received a lot of hate, he is one of the top contenders. Even though the probability of an Indian being elected as the leader of a country which has always been ruled by whites is very low, it’s still a big accomplishment.
Another notable Indian Srikant Datar is the dean of Harvard University and is the second consecutive Indian to become the dean of Harvard University.
Adar Poonawalla, the CEO of the serum institute of india was one of the biggest manufactures of the covid- 19 vaccines in the world and the Government of India has given 16.29 crore doses of vaccines to 96 countries.
India may be a developing country but it has one of the fastest growing economies and one the highest GDP growth rates in the world. While major first world countries in Europe and the USA are struggling through massive inflation rates and fuel prices India hasn’t had such massive increases in rates. It is expected to lead the world by 2050 with its massive population and large democracy.
We got independence only 75 years ago, so how did we get here?
The best thing the Britishers could have done is teach us English.
The overpopulation and the competition from a young age for Indians is what has driven us to such a high level . Indians are used to fighting for every small achievement, whether it be getting into a good school or getting a day’s worth of food.
IIT, Indian Institutes of Technology has an acceptance rate of 0.5% and has one of the toughest exams in the world. Still a major part of Indians try every year to get into IIT, one of the best and most prestigious colleges in India.
The Indian middle class family which constitutes the major part of the population is used to working hard and it is ingrained in their blood. It could also be the fact that Indian mothers and fathers are very dedicated and would go to massive heights to get their children a proper education and be successful in life.
Or it could just be pure dumb luck??
