Pretending to be a ‘superpower’ is pointless while declining at various indexes – Dr. Ganesh Devy
Pune, 23 October 2023: “When the index of our country is at the brim in indexes like human rights, human development, hunger, poverty, education, etc., pretending to be a ‘superpower’ is pointless. How we look at modernity, progress, and development of our country determines our wisdom. When a concept or an innovation spread rapidly, it is seen as a catalyst for a change,” opined Dr. Ganesh Devy, literary critic and senior Linguist. He also asserted that Manovikas Publication’s ‘Badalta Bharat’ will not only increase people’s perspectives towards changes but also suggest some measures alongside.
Devy was speaking at a book release event of ‘Badalta Bharat’ published by Manovikas Publications. The program was jointly organized by Manovikas Publications and MKCLand was concluded at the SM Joshi Hall in Navi Peth recently.
