While I agree with everything you have said, I am not as optimistic as you are. The pace at which things are improving is so slow that It is unrealistic to be competitive in global market place and over take china.

For example, Today, 50% of India has access to electricity for 10 hours a day. This is a fantastic achievement and is in right direction, If you compare with No electricity to this 50% of india two decades ago. It is not that fantastic when you compare with rest of the world where people cannot imagine living without electricity for an hour.

As you mentioned The direction, Providing access to electricity is right, The pace at which is happening makes me less hopeful.

In order for things to improve, Citizens of India have to acknowledge and accept that there's a problem, That's just first step towards solving the problem.
