Swadeshi means strengthening its enablers: ease of doing business and ease of living. If we can optimise these two, it will be other nations that strive for self-reliance, not us. Optimisation here means achieving parity with best practices worldwide in every conceivable domain, and, more importantly, remaining proactive in surpassing each benchmark. What matters more is not achievement, but the spirit of continuous endeavour.
Of the two, ease of living is more fundamental and critical than ease of doing business. The safety of person, possession, and dignity; the prevalence of fairness in public life; and the assurance of world-class civic amenities would retain domestic talent and attract gifted individuals from abroad. Only talented people can drive genuine development.
India is immense: in geography, population, resources, and in the wisdom of its ancients. It holds the potential to lead the world, and that for the benefit of the world. The real hindrance lies in our thinking, and we can overcome this mental blockage only by thinking deeply, originally, and courageously.
