Classifying Generation-Specific to India

As we are aware that west has classified it’s generation as stated below

·         Traditionalist:  1900-1945-World war- Great Depression

·         Baby boomers- 1946-1964-Civil Rights- Space travel

·         Gen-X-1965-1980-Energy Crisis- Double Income

·         Gen-y-1980-2000-Digital World

·          

I have been asking myself:

·         Should India use the same terms to classify?

·         First of all did we pass through the same events?

With this seed in my mind I was researching and studying about our Nation. I have been actively writing about India every day for 445 days in my groups and I’m sure this mission will continue.

The above activity has helped me to understand some little facts about this mammoth called India and finally I have classified our nation on these grounds.

Strugglers- Pre 1947- Freedom fighters- Swaraj was the one point agenda for many- Bhagat Singh, Mahatma Gandhi etc.

Builders-1948-1960- Nation Builders- building Industries and generating jobs- Advent of PSU’s- Nehru, Lal Bahbadur Shastri etc.

Developers-1960-1980- Nation Developers- Strengthening public sectors, Rural India & Developing Private sectors- Kurien- Ms. Swaminathan etc

Enablers-1980-2000- Education Developers- Reaching higher education for all- Going global to learn- Information technology builders- Developing banking sector- Narayana Murthy,  K.V.Kamath etc.

Innovators- 2000- Present- Convergence of technology- Mobile revolution- boundary breakers- start Ups- Bhavesh- Ola Cabs, Pranav Mistry- Think tank- Sundar Pichai- Google

Instead of using X and Ys I think we can use the above terms to classify our country. 

 I want the learned members to give your feedback and ideas to further strengthen this concept and formally publish it in the public domain.
