My Visions for India
MY VISIONS FOR INDIA- A.P.J.ABDUL KALAM.
SHORT ANSWERS:-
1. After 3000 years of oppression what have we not done? After 3000 years of oppression by various invaders like the British, the French and Turks we have not conquered any of their nations. We did not grab their land, their culture and their history. It is because we respect the freedom of others.
2. What was kalam’s second vision?
Kalam’s second vision for India is development. We have been a ‘developing nation’ since our independence. But in the present day scenario our poverty levels are falling. Our achievements are globally recognised. The vital thing we lack is self confidence. We need to improve it in order to become a ‘developed nation’

    US IMPERIALISM

    • 1208 Words

    Gandhi once said that, “I want the cultures of all lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any.” Depending on development, social status, and other additional variables, the level of validity in Gandhi’s quote varies. This has not always remained true to many countries; some groups have remained successful in keeping true to their cultures and not being influenced by outside forces, while some haven’t. Who is to blame for this culture infiltration? Most point the finger at Western Hemisphere dominance. Imperialism isn’t just “a thing of the past,” it still exists today, but not in the same context it might have 100 years ago. Today, imperialism exists, but more in a cultural sense, and the United States, itself, is one of the most contributing countries.…

    Thirty-six thousand feet above France, on my way to volunteer at an archeological site in Israel, I was sleeping, unaware to what was happening around me. El Al received an anonymous call that a bomb was in the galley of the plane. To my relief, the call was a hoax. I did not actually know this occurred until my aunt told me two days later. Nonetheless, this experience was dangerously exciting, but also an interesting way to start my life-changing trip to Israel where I traveled around the historical region, experienced different cultures, and volunteered at an archeological excavation.…

    In Mornings in Jenin, Susan Abulhawa tries to stretch a historical account of what happened in Palestine over the last sixty years, in doing so, she makes clear that trauma is omnipresent in the everyday Palestinian life, and thus only confirms what Lindsey Moore and Ahmad Qabaha stated in the epigraph used in this chapter that: “In the Palestinian case, trauma persists and repeats in reality, [. . .] trauma is mundane, material, quotidian, repeated and eminently repeatable?” to put it differently, Palestinians have been trapped in cyclic trauma since 1948. The history of 1948 that Abulhawa tries to bring to the fore in her narrative constitutes the origin of the different traumas that her characters experience.…
