A key to progress is open-mindedness and willingness to learn from others. Solutions to most of our problems are in our mind; and the context around us is not a constraint. We, in India, are defeated by our mind.

Why Poverty's here to Stay ?
Because we keep merit away. Let's give meritocracy a chance. The best way to overcome poverty is - get the best among the available lot; and give them resources to solve problems in the fastest, cheapest and the best possible way.
