If you love India. If you are obsessed with India. If you think "Mera Bhaarath Mahaan" is for real. If you think India is going to be a super-power in the very near future, then we think alike.

This web site is a sincere effort to spread the awareness that India is so close to being a super-power. 'Die Hard Indian' attempts to do so without putting down any other individual or country.

India is definitely a force to reckon with. We just need to spread nationalistic pride amongst fellow-Indians. We also need to make the world aware how rich our culture is; how vast and diverse our country is and how strong India is, militarily and economically. India matters!

Many ways of life in India have stayed the same for hundreds of years. These ancient customs may be seen side by side with the latest advances of civilization and science. Only in India will you find a CEO of a multi-billion dollar corporation touching the feet of elders for blessings. In India, sacrifice for others is a way of life. In India the word friend really means "friend you can blindly rely on".

We should learn things like the "Dignity of Labour" and "Result-oriented work-habits" from the Western "culture". Indians do exceedingly well in the western world. They take advantage of its economic infrastructure while retaining their intrinsic Indian values.

Only our bureaucrats and politicians can push us far away from that super-power status. The less they interfere with India's economic future, the more chances we have of succeeding.

In the future this web site will aim to chronicle the events around the world, which highlight Indian achievements. India's karma is right and the time has come for India to reclaim her past glory.

Jai Hind! Vande Mataram!
