India is a country where people from different cultures and religions live in harmony with each other. However, discrimination is done on the basis of a person's
gender, caste, creed, religion and economic status in many parts of the country. India of my dreams would be a place where there is no such discrimination. India
has seen a lot of development in the field of science, technology, education as well as other spheres over the last few decades. I dream of India as a fully developed
country that does not only excel in the aforementioned fields but also continues to keep its cultural heritage intact. However, there are certain groups of people that
try to incite people to serve their vested interests thereby hampering peace in the country. I dream of India that is devoid of such divisive tendencies. It should be a
place where different ethnic groups live in perfect harmony with each other. I also dream of India as being a nation where every citizen is educated. I want the
people of my country to understand the importance of education and ensure that their children seek education rather than indulging in menial jobs at a tender age.
Adults who have missed a chance to study during their childhood must also join adult education classes to seek education in order to find a better job for
themselves. I want the government to provide equal employment opportunities for all so that the youth get deserving jobs and contribute towards the growth of the
nation. I want the country to become technologically advanced and see growth in all the sectors. Lastly, I want India to be a country where women are treated with
respect and are given equal opportunities as men.
