297 words short essay on India in 2000 A.D. What will be the exact shape of India in 2000 A.D. can only be a matter of surmise. The prophets of doom say that the future of India is doomed.
They think that India will disintegrate like the Soviet Union or Yugoslavia. The blind patriots foresee a very bright future for India. In their opinion, in the year 2000 A.D., she will be one of the three or four topmost powers of the world.
Emotionalism cannot help in such matters. There is no gain saying the fact that at present India is a great power in Asia. She is the largest democracy in the world. She has developed a strong industrial base, an ambitious space programme and a host of schemes which make a country great. She has the fourth largest army and the third largest scientific force in the world. Great efforts are being made to spread education, to bring about social equality and justice, to make available medical aid to all, to increase life expectancy, to bring about rural upliftment, to ameliorate the lot of women, realties, minorities and the handicapped, to curb population growth, to revolutionize agriculture and irrigation and to introduce a new economic system etc.

ADVERTISEMENTS:
Still, there are some negative aspects, among them, terrorism in Border States, growing lawlessness, corruption, securities and banking scams, uncontrolled population, high rate of illiteracy, lack of character and patriotic feelings among the masses, India’s dismal performance in sports etc.
Despite all this, India is expected to come over all the obstacles. She has vast resources, a strong nuclear and industrial base. She is expected to clear all the foreign debt. The most important thing for the Indian government is to curb population, communalism and terrorism. India will surely be a great world power in 2000 A.D.
