What, you guys think, are the challenges/opportunities that India faces for the year 2005?

I think that the poppulation is surely one of huge challenges. Wonder how India can make that as a positive rather than a negative.

I think India should really start on a MEGA scale to attract the NRIs scatterred all over the world. Give more opportunities for Indian origins in business, industry and make it more appealing by offering PRs. The whole world has identified India as one of the few countries which are really expanding....so, this is the chance.. If we look at China, they are opening up like India, but, they give priority to Chinese origins. This is really attracting many Chinese living overseas..
The next thing India should have is one or two common written language (like the Mandarin in China). This will unify everyone from all states.....guess this will really be a challenge. Having one common written language does not mean that you are a lesser Tamilian or Keralite or Maharastrian etc etc. One can still learn his own mother tongue but having a common language will unite people....
Well... I guess the idea is silly...being a NRI, I am blind to all other pressing matters and challenges that India is facing or will face but I thought of just giving my 2cent's worth! Anyway, Happy New Year!

I believe India should create a solid cyber crime and privacy laws. As our country is in the fastest growing countries list in terms of Information technology the laws are not written or redefined in accordance to the growth of it. This is going to be the one of the big challenge in 2005.

The recent example is arrest of the CEO of baazee.com. Which many of the US Companies including eBay, Yahoo Inc etc. watching closely and also worried about their outsourcing and partnership establishments in India.

Population will be very big challenge to states like UP, Bihar etc where there are large number of illiterates.

population is a challenge not just for 2005. It is for the whole decade 2000 - 2010. By 2015 atleast that must be controlled.
A more manageable challenge has already been put up by tsunami. It is disaster management. Gearing up the disaster management cells and emergy response teams along the lines of advanced nations is the more immediate challenge of this year. Forget ICBMs and fighter aircrafts, this will save more Rupees in building other capabilities further not to mention the number of human lives.

Population can never be the newst problem in 2005. ITs always been a great problem, would always be in for atleast another decade or more.

In my view ...

2005 problem would be...

"Technological improvements and cultural shocks reflecting from the same "
