As a woman born and raised in India and as a mother of a young daughter, born and raised in US, my biggest challenge with visiting India is groping. No amount of 'outside' work can increase tourism unless we are willing to also look at the 'inner' workings of the mind. The question I have is how does an innocent young boy turn into a groper in India- a country of Vedas & Geeta. I am bringing a play to India in Jan-' Celebrated Silence'. I would like your support as we tour the Country.

There are lots of tourist places in India which are not recognized. Say Tirupathi only the temple is highlighted the scenic drive or steps way which has dears so on to get to the temple is not described. like wise with in 40 Km of drive we have Talakona waterfalls. If the tourism websites describe all these things then we can get more groups visiting these places.Some in family may like spiritual (Temple) places some may like scenic drives(the seven hills) some may like hiking (Talakona).

First for all, remove all beggars from tourist spots. Collect an additional 2% tax from the visitors and use it towards feeding the hungry beggars. Treat them in a humane way. By allowing beggars in these areas not only show our government negligence towards eradication of poverty but also shows how inhuman Indians are. Their plight is very pitiful and also it hurts tourism. Less beggars will keep the area clean. I don't think anyone would mind paying little more for a memorable visit.

Please follow the highly acclaimed and very successful "DARPA Urban Challenge" USA model for competitions, It is a great way to motivate innovators, startups, and any one interested in promoting skill development. The students who participate in these types of contests, no matter they win or not,will be very useful the growth of Indian economy.

It really hurts to hear Hindustan Machine Tools Limited watch factory announcing closure. Our PM is emphasizing on 'Make in India' campaign and it's quite contradictory of what actually is happening to the great timekeepers of our nation (agree their balance sheets are -ve for a few years now but this GOI can do something). The very name has desi 'Indian-ness' in it. They were with us during good times and let's support them now.

NUTRITIONAL SECURITY OF INDIA: 2 days ago I wrote how nutrition can be provided to needy children & adults at half the cost standard toned dairy milk by toning dairy milk with soymilk 1:3. I have the patented, proven technology for the same that I am eager to provide to the Indian dairies for the benefit of the masses. Modiji, please advise existing dairies to take up the task. They have the resources for cost effective mass production & mass distribution. I am available full time at no charge.

_not_related_to_NRI_issue_-----related_to_paki_shelling_: Dear Modi ji, please declare pakistan a terrorist nation immediately. put all sanctions on pakistan and force other countries around pakistan to have sanctions on pakistan. destroy them financially and don't give them enough air/water to breath or drink. Then these dacoits will bend down. wish you all the best.

Being my first post; Namastey Mr. Prime Minister, Yes, Totally agreed with Mr. Mashru Tushar. here in australia as well, being home owner, you have to take care of some of council land (footpath or not). You are responsible for making the council area as well as your garbage from home. FIRST of ALL, at grass root level, there must be any garbage collection facility be provided (or, small societies can organise their spot where they can put all rubbish and can be collected once a week by Corps.)

In our neighbouring country Rwanda the president made interesting rules. It is a responsibility of the shop owner to clean pavement in front of the shop, put on light at night, to grow a tree in front and report progress of tree, last Saturday of month to close shop to allow staff to go home and compulsory clean there street. In 10 years it has become cleanest country in Africa. We need to learn from this small country.
