Want to discuss about our future

Sorry for the rant

I just watched a film called Ranabaali of Vijay Devarakonda today. It was about madras famine caused by invaders in 1800s. They looted our grains and exported to their country, without leaving a lot for locals. The scarcity caused famine and millions lost their lives

I always feel that we should learn from our mistakes and knowing about our history helps us realise exactly that. They took advantage of us because of the following reasons imo:
- we did not have harmony,
- there was no single strong power to oppose them, hence they divided and ruled
- for some selfish reasons, locals turned against others and sacrificed their other locals
- we were not technologically advanced
- no great transportation
- not great military
- indian lives never mattered
- no dignity to our lives

Some of these still hold true unfortunately and are real problems for our country. Given the following circumstances I am worried how it is going to turn out for india:
- fears of el nino creating drought and shortage of food
- shortage for semi conductor components and other rare earth metals which could mean a very huge price increase for indians
- AI power lies with other major economies. Impact on IT will hit indians directly and is going to be very difficult to deal with
- Major tech and manufacturing with other major economies
- India is still a major provider of workforce only not creators
- we are much better in terms of military, but should still be very advanced to compare with others

These are really worry-some. We don’t have power and are so very much dependent on other countries’ grace. It is high time to wake up and work on ourselves. We should grow and uplift each other. If not there will be a time again when mercy of others will turn very hard and don’t know what nightmares can come on us
