This general election in India, educated young youth (passed from Howard University and other primary Institution) have come forward and participated in election and changed the old concepts. They have brought with them new management techniques which I am sure these parliamentarians will put in practice. Take Indian to new heights.

This year Independence Day first time India is called for G8 meeting, where Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was invited, it is great Honour to Indian economy.

Even though we Indians are becoming a global economic power, our rural poor are still languishing in inhumane conditions. They even lack the necessary resources to meet their basic needs like food, clean drinking water and primary health care.

India has the third largest scientific and technical labour pool in the world, and yet, whilst India's progress in space technology has attracted worldwide attention, the gap between the rich and the poor grows ever more. Those who eke out a living on the margins of society, the poorest of the poor, Dalits, Tribals, unorganized labor are all excluded from this economic progress.

Fortunately, the worldwide economic crisis has not impacted India that much. But corruption, fundamentalism and social discrimination are real social evils in our society.

This Independence Day marks new horizon in Indo American relationship. The Indo US relationship has reached and developed exponentially. According to ambassador to US Meera Shanker " It is a very important relationship for India certainly, which we feel is essential for meeting our development aspirations, as well as for enhancing global peace and security, and meeting some of the common global challenges that we face".

Therefore this year Indian Independence plays very significant role to development on economy, development of International bi lateral relationship, especially with US. More close ties with neighboring countries especially with China.
