Question – Why Japan, Singapore has made stunning progress (become developed nation)?



We all have such questions in our mind and not so clear answers also. Today I am going little bit deeper and tell you exactly who was the force behind and how he has done that. 

Goody goody things are already defined everywhere, like how to be successful, how to build nation, how to boost agriculture etc. There may be some variation region wise, but the matter remain the same. If any nation apply these basic principles, nation will surely progress. Speed of progress may be slow or normal. So what are these goody-goody things (answer to above question).

Control the corruption—Motivate your workforce and make them efficient—Policy defining for gray areas—Planning –Financial control—and many others

Now the problem is, if everything is written there then why there are so many developing countries even after 60 years like us and very few developed countries??? Answer lies in leadership.

Now take Japan for example, most of the times due to some extraordinary leadership with vision, makes above process much much faster. India & Japan got their independence almost at same time. If India got the problem of poverty and literacy, Japan also got severe damage due to world wor 2 and nuclear bombs. So what secret (Parasmani) Japanese got which lead them to be a developed nation?.  

His name is “PHUNSUK YOGOKAVA”- President of JAPAN 1948-1975.

Mr Phunsuk was the man with mission, no ambition. He had seen only one dream, prosper JAPAN in every field, be it infrastructure, education, transport, agriculture, foreign trade, export etc. He has dedicated his life for the nation. Motivated people, fill nationalism into them, made them work, defining policies for each and every sector, remove corruption totally, made people educated.  I can elaborate each field in detail, what actually he had done, but keeping your interest in mind cut short.

Now the turning point, I don’t know anything about Japan except that it is one of the developed nations. I don’t know anything about its president & what he did at early stage. But I do know that there is no alternative other than mentioned above, each developed nation has passed through this stage in the history with one extraordinary leader. Be it Winston churchil, Abraham linkon, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and few more.

Today I have written this article because I have felt exactly above things in last 10 years in Gujarat. All around development across the state. Do I need to take name of that catalyst dignity??. If you have any doubts about that, then read below post to have clear and neutral idea about what was Gujarat before 2001 and what is the current status. 


I have to do this because today’s (sudo)secular media & journos will not show this. My Mother used to tell me one idiom, 

પુન્છદે(tail) થી પકડો તો કહે બાંડો છે, માથે થી પકડો તો કે ખાંડો છે, it perfectly match with out secular media. 

Secularism in India: They have their own excuses for both negative & positive thing (mostly negative) based on their wasted interest. In short vision-less & directionless guy. 

Let me know how many people are agreeing with me or not. 



So the moral of the story: Progress needs leadership with vision, action from not only govt but also from private and public. I have used Japan for the example purpose only.

Friends, I have visited 95% of above places till date and wish to visit remaining 5% till I write about it. Some of the places I have visited through YHAI Gujarat unit, some places alone and some places with local relatives. 

Now, for those who don’t know much about YHAI, it is youth hostel association of India. They do have their local units across Gujarat, like 
  • ·        Gandhinagar which organize 1-2 days nature camp at Indroda,
  • ·        Sanand Unit which organize Nalsarovar 2-3 days camp regularly,
  • ·        Palitana unit which organizes trekking to palitana and hasgiri through jungle route,
  • ·        Jamnagar unit which organizes Pirotan island camps.
  • ·        Baroda unit for pavagadh and jambughoda jungle trekking.
 There are many other unit and they keep updating the same in advance on their websites, like

http://www.youthhostelahmedabad.org/      ---- official YHAI gujarat website.

But there is much more information and good photos available on their unit website of bharuch and baroda.

believe me, YHAI is the cheapest way of wondering. There are national treks available like Himalaya, leh and many more for other state units. Actually YHA is the international association on volunteer base. We do have youth hostels in key tourist places and key cities across India, where you can find stay at Rs. 60 per day or little bit higher. You need to be member this organization for the same, which is about Rs. 100 annually.

Please go to above links, there are many upcoming treks available within Gujarat and at national level also. Give chance to yourself to explore new horizons.

Now there are few websites, which have pretty good collections of tourist places experiences in Gujarati. You can visit them for reference. Some of the links are

One more time I got chance to saw more than 15 SARAS crane giant birds in a row (group), generally they are found in pair or max three in group.

So Those who are intrested in watching SARAS bird along with other foreigner birds, can contact me. I will guide them for the road and if possible I will come with them also. There are 2-3 fixed places where you can easily find SAras birds.
