"This is India!"

Summary: Indeed the ‘needs hierarchy’ seems to turn upside down in many third world countries. Self-actualizing clearly doesn’t wait to emerge last.

Lee from California shared some pictures on India she found on the Web. Most Westerners will probably find the images shocking, even scary (“Yikes!” said Burke.)

Contradictions

The bottomline:

This is India. It's where you call when you have a technical problem with your computer.

Ah yes, you need a very strong stomach to deal with the unbelievable contradictions of India’s diversity –

• An economy on the march and no social security,
• Limited infrastructure and a state-of-the-art IT industry,
• Teeming millions below the poverty line, and intellectual excellence in space research.

Creativity

In the picture above, notice the simple bamboo ladder overhead serving as a grid across the alley? I particularly liked the innovative display of a people naturally creative because they make do with almost nothing.

Global entrepreneurs

These are the stark conditions that the people of this nation live and work in.

Yet the entrepreneurial spirit doesn’t flag. Lightning strikes many times, but still they resume connectivity to compete once again in providing problem solutions across the globe.

Indeed the ‘needs hierarchy’ seems to turn upside down in many third world countries, besides incredible India, that are assumed to be developing yet! Their drive to self-actualizing clearly doesn’t await last emergence.
