India has come a long way in achieving our transportation goals all over India in order to cope with our ever-growing population. Our bus stations, our rail stations, and even our airports are pretty well occupied with the ever-increasing traffic. There is so much a nation can do, and India is doing very well under all the prevailing circumstances.
More than sixty years ago, when I left Mangalore for the first time, we had only one train to Bombay, and that too from a place called Kadur where a train would go all the way to Puna en route to Dadar, Bombay. Today, we notice so many modes of transportation including dozens of daily buses and even planes thru various connections.
The population of India for the past sixty years has gone up by a billion more people. This is beyond anyone’s comprehension. Yet, we are surviving as a progressive nation. We are coping with the situation with whatever new thoughts and plans.
We have to be grateful to God for giving India some of the best planners who have a vision for India’s progress. There is so much that can be criticized yet there is much more to be praised and admired for who we are and where we have reached for the past sixty years, ever since we left Mangalore in search of a daily bread.
