Whenever we learn a new thing are we thinking of commercializing it or we do it because we love it? Do we do what we love or is it what will give us lot of money? So we do things for pleasure and enjoyment or the ultimate motto is the cash returns? Are we people less passionate about things and more focused on the commercial part of it?

Hi Kavitha, we are Indians and we are having compassion more than passion. Basically our Education system is like that but there is no relevance between our syllabus and Job. In every line, all are not possible to excel in their field. Don't feel on this passion, try to identify the unique qualities in you and also motivate the people(children) around you. We have to disperse our wisdom for the welfare of others not only for you. Our political systems teaches you like this passion, since most of the people(educated and uneducated) like to become a Politician. Nowadays most of the ladies are attracted towards Politics. God only save India. Pl pray for today's Indians to get compassion than passion.

Consider the average age of achievers in all fields. Over the last 50 years , this has steadily gone down. This means that more and more young people are shining , in their respective fields of endeavour. This can happen only because of their passion.

Sportsmen like Narain Karthikeyan , Pankaj Advani , Geet Sethi , Naina Sehwal , Sania Mirza are all examples of young achievers. Even in the music industry , you find achievers who are in their twenties.

Nowadays , the average age of CEOs has dropped , and we find Vice-Presidents , Presidents , CEOs are in their mid-thirties. We even have CEOs in their teens !

All this means that there is a lot of passion in young India , and the opportunities are available for even youngsters to show their calibre.

I would like to correct you Kavitha.

Its not the country rather its on the individual that the passion lies.

Probably we have not come to that professional level of certain regions across the globe but with respect to passion we are there with the best.

Its true that people are more worried about benefits derived from the passion as people want recognition than self satisfaction for pursuing his or her passion.

India does not lack passion, but if you cannot convert your passion into money, then you cannot quantify your passion into real worth. All of us have chosen a profession to fill our belly and survive the years ahead for ourselves and our children.

You sustain your passion to build your and your country's future and not to keep it in some corner for display with no benefit to either of us.

At least in the City of Varanasi, I see most of the people are not employable, or willing to work. The zeal is missing. Characeristically speaking, the people who live away from home, or have a big loss, if they don't work, only they are properly motivated Positive Motivation is a not so prevalant motivator...

I endorse the views of Manish. Passion and Patriotism both required to be nurtured from childhood. Our system of education is such that has no direct link with the job. Trust deficit, lack of role model on top at the political level, governance level, academic level (since the head of the institutions are appointed on political referral and patronages), business men lack propriety; in such a condition, how can one expect passion in Indians?

Yes Kavita off-late people are looking every hobby & passion with a commercial view & moment of glory. If you really passionate about the subject/hobby you will excel. Nothing wrong if your passionate hobby will pay for you.

I some how feel so. I feel this because when a person learns dance he wants to be a performer on the stage and then make a fortune out of it. We choose a particular stream because we know that it has huge demand.. Passion some where seems to be lost in this. There are some exceptions here but this is the case with majority.

ya indian lack passion thats why kalidas being a fool person studied and get the blessing of devi and became so scholar so that world study on him.

Kabir without the education became so vast that the people do phd on him to get the doctorate degree.

vivekanand being a villeger renowed by many foreign organisation.

Sports person run with the local shoes and without coach and win the bronze in the olympic.

There are lakhs of other example that we are not passionate. because i know in these days the definition of passionate is also according to some foreign counties. and this will surely not suitable for indians.

Indians donot lack passion at all its totally wrong because passion as such is not a quality limited to country or region. It is in depth of heart and can be in anyone or anywhere. The only problem is the person with the passion doesnot get support at the right time when his/her passion is in perfect rythm. On the contarary here in Indian u find people opposing, supressing, discouraging and creating more obstacles to that person untill and unless the passion gets destroyed or else the person chooses a easy life instead of fighting obstacle.
