Land of Koop Mandooks ( Frogs in the Well ) ?


How else can you describe some people trying to raise a controversy around the fact that the LION logo of " Make in India " initiative was designed by the Indian Subsidiary of an AMERICAN  Company  ?

Meaning  ?  National honour was lost  ?

It speaks poorly of the Koop Mandook mentality of some of us that Shri Amitabh Kant ( architect of Make in India initiative ) had to " defend " this by tweeting :


"  Logo has been designed by young Indians led by an Indian creative director . This is an Indian Subsidiary of W & K "


I get a feeling that those people trying to rake up a controversy must be thinking :

" Ah ! This has to be some sinister plot of  imperialist powers trying to subvert the Indian democracy

Like the Trojan Horse of the past , American ( W&K ) capitalists seems to have conspired to defeat Indian manufacturing by hiding evil software code inside that LION logo image , using secret  Steganography "



These small-minded people are forgetting that :

*   Some 16 million Indians ( largest diasporas in the World ), are working abroad

*   Annually , they are remitting to India , approx $ 70 Billion

*   Of these , 7 million Indians working in Gulf are remitting $ 40 Billion

*   An overwhelming majority of Indians working overseas are highly qualified professionals

*   Many are occupying the CEO positions in big American Companies(Google / MS / PEPSI )

*   A huge number of Indians are working in USA subsidiaries of  INDIAN  Companies

*   They are designing world-class products / services for their AMERICAN  clients , including
     USA government ( Space  / Defense / Energy Solutions / Cyber Security etc )

*   Many Indians have even reached high ranking positions in USA government

*   Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister of Singapore, are of Indian origin
    ( country which is always at rank # 1 in Ease of Doing Business  ! )

*   National Health Service of UK is heavily dependent on Indian doctors/nurses

*   Foreign countries are proud of the contribution that Indians make locally in their
     countries

*   Even today , Americans are grateful that it was the COBOL knowing ,Indian Software
    engineers who saved the collapse of American economy in 2000 , during Y2K crisis !


When will our narrow-minded citizens stop looking at the nationality / language / religion etc of a person who is contributing to our progress ?


Are they forgetting that, at the very heart of the " Make in India " initiative is invocation of :

"  ATITHI  DEVO  BHAVA "

inviting FOREIGN companies to set up their businesses in India  ?
