A Lot Has Been Done After 2014
India’s Journey from Stagnation to Aspirations – And the Road Ahead
Introduction: A Silent Revolution Began in 2014
2014 was more than an election. It marked a civilizational shift.
After decades of governance rooted in appeasement, dynasty, and corruption, a new vision took shape—led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
It was not just about a change of government, but a change of mindset: from “chalta hai” to “badal sakta hai.”
In these ten years, India has made remarkable progress. Yet, the journey to become a truly self-reliant, civilizational superpower is far from complete.
What Has Been Achieved – The Foundations of a New Bharat
1. Infrastructure Boom – Roads, Rails, and Runways
– Vande Bharat trains, massive expressways, metro rail expansion.
– Rural road connectivity under PMGSY.
– India now builds more highways per day than ever before.
2. Digital India – From Paper to Platform
– UPI transformed payments.
– Aadhar + Jan Dhan + Mobile = Direct Benefits to the poor.
– 5G rollout, rural broadband expansion, and online government services.
3. Swachh Bharat – A Sanitation Revolution
– Over 100 million toilets built.
– Villages declared Open Defecation Free.
– A behavioral shift in cleanliness awareness.
4. Startup India – The Rise of Entrepreneurial Spirit
– Over 100 unicorns.
– Global recognition for Indian innovation.
– Government support for MSMEs and youth-led ventures.
5. Defense and Security – No More Silent Tolerance
– Surgical strikes and Balakot response.
– Stronger border fencing and modernization.
– Made-in-India weapons and equipment (Tejas, BrahMos, etc.).
6. Cultural Pride Restored
– Kashi Vishwanath Corridor, Mahakal Lok, Ram Mandir underway.
– Yoga Day celebrated globally.
– Push for Sanskrit, ancient texts, and rediscovery of India’s real history.
7. Foreign Policy with Spine
– Strong stand on global forums.
– Balanced ties with East and West.
– India seen as a Vishwa Mitra (friend of the world) and not a pawn.
What Has Been Initiated – But Needs Vigilant Implementation
Colonial-Era Laws Being Replaced – A Welcome Shift
– The British-made IPC, CrPC, and Indian Evidence Act have now been replaced by:
– Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita
– Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita
– Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam
– A long-overdue civilizational correction.
– Now the real challenge: ensuring these laws are implemented with speed, clarity, and public awareness to restore justice rooted in Indian thought.
2. Education System Still Macaulay’s Legacy
– NEP is a good start, but ground-level implementation is slow.
– Still not enough focus on Sanskrit, Indian knowledge systems, or critical thinking.
3. Temple Liberation Still Pending
– Many Hindu temples remain under government control.
– Equal religious freedom demands temple autonomy like churches and mosques enjoy.
4. Cultural De-Colonization Not Complete
– British-era names of places, streets, institutions still exist.
– Indian historical heroes still await rightful place in textbooks.
5. Judiciary Reform Needed
– Huge backlog of cases.
– Outdated procedures.
– Need for accountability and speed in the legal system.
6. Media and Academia – Still Controlled by Old Narratives
– Many institutions remain bastions of colonial or Marxist thought.
– Need for intellectual renaissance rooted in Sanatan values.
7. Political Ecosystem Still Not Fully Cleansed
– Dynastic politics, appeasement tactics, and corruption continue in several states.
– True democracy needs a citizen-first, not vote-bank-first approach.
The Real Struggle – Breaking Mental Slavery
While roads and bridges are easy to build, rebuilding minds is the hardest task.
– Many Indians still look to the West for validation.
– English-medium elitism overshadows India’s own wisdom.
– History books glorify invaders but ignore saints, scientists, and sages.
This is the unfinished battle.
And it requires not just governance, but mass awakening.
What Needs to Be Done – The Path Forward
– Full implementation of NEP with a Bharat-centric syllabus.
– Complete rewrite of history books based on truth.
– Bharatiya languages to be elevated in administration and judiciary.
– Total removal of colonial-era laws.
– Liberation of temples and complete equality in religious rights.
– Massive investment in Indian knowledge systems – Ayurveda, Yoga, Vastu, and more.
– Restructuring of universities, media, and art institutions to reflect Bharat’s soul.
– Strengthening Panchayats and grassroots democracy.
A Letter That Echoed the Future – Written in 2014
In 2014, Green Guru Dinesh Rawat wrote a letter to the Prime Minister of India, urging for a deeper awakening—not just political change, but civilizational restoration.
“We may have changed our rulers in 1947, but we are still mentally enslaved by colonial education, distorted history, and denial of our spiritual roots. Let us free Bharat not just physically, but spiritually and intellectually too.”
— Excerpt from Dinesh Rawat’s 2014 Letter to the PM
That letter was a visionary roadmap.
Today, some steps have been taken. But many parts of that dream remain unfulfilled. The fight against mental slavery, temple control, and historical distortion must continue with full force.
Conclusion: The First Step Is Taken – Now Let’s Complete the Journey
After 2014, India stood up.
After 2024, it must march forward.
Infrastructure, governance, and digital progress are commendable.
But it is now time for civilizational restoration.
We must:
– Reclaim our history.
– Reform our institutions.
– Reinvent our identity as Bharat – the eternal civilization.
Only then will we be truly free—not just as a nation, but as a people.
