India is Changing.

If I am to give an account of the positive changes that I have witnessed, the list would be short and would house very few events with  major impact. Perhaps a website like The Better India would be better equipped to provide you with such positive stories. I have subscribed to their newsletter and have benefited from it in the past. However, I believe I can give an insight into certain aspects of the positive transformations in India on a macro scale.

1. Increase in the literary activity in Indians: With the advent of the worldwide web, there has been an explosion of reading and writing from Indians from the entire length and breadth of India's geography. Microblogs, social networking pages, full-fledged websites dedicated to the writing and online services for self-publishing have all contributed to the general environment of India's literature in undergoing an exponential growth in terms of content development and dialogue across diversities. There are more number of literature relate gatherings like book clubs, book fairs and literature festivals than there were a decade ago and consequently there is an increased attendance in such events. A greater number of people are finding expression in form of books and notwithstanding the claim that such an increase in the number of books published per annum is diluting the literary soup of India thus rendering it progressively tasteless, I hold the opinion that we are witnessing the practice of a freedom long guaranteed to us but never exercised in such magnitude.
2. Increased activity in national and international discussions: On various fora (like Quora) there is a increasing presence of Indians who are contributing significantly to the collective consciousness of the world. Within the country itself, there is a wider network of communication and hence Indians are spreading awareness at speeds greater than that of sound. This improved network for discussion has led to the amalgamation of this country in a manner that is unprecedented: more opinions are sounded, more voices are heard, more knowledge is shared. We Indians have always been argumentative, we love debates, but only recently have we been conducting them on a national scale.
3. Increased number of entrepreneurs:Recognizing the various issues plaguing India, a large number of self-motivated groups and organizations are striving for her betterment.They are progressively less afraid of failures and their success stories are attracting more Indians to join them. They have brought in competition in commercial markets and spearheaded social change. They have become an inspiration for others to take matters into their own hands, to take more chances, to explore more possibilities and offer quality output.
