This Is India!

Sarcastic message from the Vice Chancellor of Mumbai University:

One-liners about India that are completely true :

1. If you want to know how divided we are, just look at the matrimonial page in our newspapers.

2. India is running the software of tomorrow on the hardware of yesterday.

3. If the mobile gets spoiled, blame the child, if the child gets spoiled, blame the mobile.

4. If someone is asking for a dirty cloth to clean something, then you are in India!

5. It's the only country where people fight to be termed 'backward'.

6. In India, you don't cast your vote, you vote your caste.

7. An incredible country where actors are hugely involved in politics and politicians are always acting.

The message above is of 4th Nov 2016 by Milon Muke in face book and the authenticity of message attributed to then vice chancellor is questionable.

It started doing rounds as message found to be sensitive then.

But now several years gone by and I see India vastly progressed in almost all spheres including political awareness and polarised population.
The oozing optimism in every aspect of economy is laudable . Since a few weeks before, Made in India special rail coaches are plying in Australia. World wide our exports made greater strides and our gold reserve is satisfactory. As a citizen I am a proud man of India .

Me too, Thyagu!
When I get an interesting forward, I just share it with friends. Period. At my age, I neither have any inclination or curiosity to dig it's origin!
Thank you, Thyagu for the trouble you have taken to throw more light on my forward

Sir,
It is understandable. My response is for others consumption. Now a days I do not forward the WhatsApp messages unless I find it is not fake. Many times I don't even respond if it is fake and I don't labour to inform the sender so. Facts checking has become routine now.
Regards.
