Not only is the New Year beginning today, but the second decade of the 21st century is also beginning from today. It is the beginning of a decade in which it is hoped that big changes would take place at the global level. It is believed around the world that this century would belong to two big Asian nations--India and China, when these two nations would lead the rest of the world with their huge population and economic progress, in the same way as this role was played by the United States and other developed countries in the 20th century.
The next 10 years would prove to be significant in this transformation. This is the reason why in India, we are entering into the new decade with new hopes and possibilities.
The achievements of the last decade give us self-confidence, which is necessary to take the leap into a brighter future. The world today is acknowledging the scientific achievements of a country that was once considered as backward and ignorant. Today, we are competing with several big countries in exploring space. Our Chandrayan (moon mission) and its discoveries have inspired NASA to begin its moon mission again. If the last decade was of IT in the world, nobody can deny the leading role India played in it. Our scientists and professionals will play a big role in making the next decade a decade of India.
Young men whose aspirations seem to be taking new turns would also play a significant role. A kind of revival of people's power is being seen in some parts and sections of the country, but some others are still to witness it. The section that has economic prosperity, education, and employment or industry has expanded a lot, but many sections are still far away from it. It is good that those who are capable are also becoming aware about bridging this gap between them and those who are not as capable as them.
Let us hope that in the coming decade, the world would be free from the demon of terrorism, which painted the past decade red with blood. The experience so far is that policies of "blood for blood" have kept bloodshed going. While welcoming the new decade, let us hope that this bloodshed comes to an end. In the world knocking at the door of 2010, let everybody be happy and successful.
