Congress kept us at the bottom and declared that too a favour.

They compared us with poor Pakistan and Ghana, and declared themselves successful. A 1% telephone ownership was big. They made us target low, and instilled a deep inferiority complex.
.
BJP/Vajpayee and BJP/Modi always looked at the top and aspired to equal them. We, now, consider Europe, China and the US as equals and exceed them in a large number of economic and quality-of-life parameters.
.
The middle class aspired to own a refrigerator during Congress. Manmohan Singh would inaugurate a 50 MW coal-fired plant where today we talk of 2000 MW only from solar.
.
The scale and references of my country have changed. Kids today could not be born at a better time as they are witnessing the largest transformation ever of the largest population on earth.
