Real worth of most of Indians

". Very true but I definitely have doubt on the wisdom of Indians. We may have many intelligent people in this country but wisdom??? Or culture over the years is buried in facts that do not point to wisdom. In India we believe more in an ideology than in people, that is why even though we have so much of resources, we still have the greatest percentage of very poor people compared to any normally developed country. Our education system only concentrates on academics, so we have produced large number of doctors, engineers etc to scatter around the world but are not yet able to rid our street corners of urine and so often have to watch the doors of Audi's and BMW's open to throw spit onto our roads. Marital rape is still a virtue according to our law and "beti bachao" is one of our national agenda. This does not point to wisdom rather it puts a question mark on our of state of being civilised. We at best can say that in our country we have pockets of knowledge........not wisdom. And as always knowledge is proud that it knows so much......wisdom is humble that it knows no more. We need to believe in people not ideology. We need public manners more than engineering. We need to pay people the right wages for their labour instead of exploiting them. Above all we need to look at all human beings at the same level no matter who they are. These are just a few points. If I sit down and list more I will probably end up skipping my dinner. Wisdom my foot."
