Must Read Articles
India will be the next Super Power
The world is paying too much attention to China and too little to India. One should take nothing for granted about India, things are changing with good speed and it is one of the most hopeful places in a world in need of a new great power that believes in freedom and democracy. India has the ability to over come the current problems of corruption, terrorism, poverty, unemployment etc. India needs dynamic young leaders with future vision and ability to coordinate the political parties and promising the citizens to further grow towards perfection. Hope one can see India getting in to the No.1 super power in the world by 2030.
India’s Progress & its Problems
India is finally waking towards Progress, slowly but steadily. The Forbes magazine mentioned that India would have the maximum number of Billionaire’s in 10 years time. With a population of one billion, most of them young and huge number in their 20's, it is not far being China’s 1.3 billion in sheer numbers.
On the other side most of the Indians talk lot about India's problem but they always forget they are the creators of most of the problems and they do not try to resolve them. There are so many problems our country has to fight with and overcome, few of these problems are illiteracy, poverty, unemployment, child malnutrition crisis which is worse than in most African countries, many environmental issues like air pollution, water pollution, garbage, and pollution of the natural environment are all challenges for India. Our country need people who actually would take a stand to reform the country.
World’s Richest people & their philanthropic works
For centuries, the richest people in the country have given money to noble causes. Giving has been a way of life in the form of charity or philanthropy. This chapter covers the philanthropic works of Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Mark Zuckerberg & Azim Premji. The author also suggests that corporate companies in India should spend 2% of their net profits on corporate social responsibility (CSR). India must find its own path to encourage citizens and companies to donate their time and money toward social good.
World’s Best Universities
This topic is very useful for the students who want to know all about the quality education & the best Universities in the world. Interesting details about University of Oxford, Princeton University, Yale University, Harvard University, University of Cambridge & few other top Universities in the world has been covered in detail. It is interesting to know that nine of the top ten Universities in the world have been occupied by US universities (according to QS World University Rankings) which reflects their superiority in education over the rest of the world.
It is very unfortunate to know that not one Indian university figures in the top 100 universities of the world. The author blames for the educational reservation policy in Indian Universities. Reservation policies are extremely contentious topic in India, before extending reservation to more groups the entire policy needs to be properly examined. Reservations on caste basis is not solution, reservation is just a tool to meet narrow political ends. The reservation policies have done more harm than good. Reservation should be their but not in the academic areas.
The Next War will be fought over Water
Even in the developed world, increasing water demand is a contentious issue. Just as wars over oil played a major role in 20th-century history, this chapter makes a convincing case that many 21st century conflicts will be fought over water. The author shares few useful ideas for educating the next generation about the importance of water & how to use water more efficiently.
My Verdict
The author has written articles on all the important issues in Aks-E- Kayanath. He has tried to bring awareness in society. His writing style is very easy to read & he is always giving examples to make the content as clear as possible. There is lot of wisdom contained within the pages of this little book .This book is a priceless gift for the Urdu reading people.
