“Political Leaders Let Down Telugu People in Andhra Pradesh” - Professor M.S.Rao



“Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.” - Abraham Lincoln


I am blogging this post as I am deeply concerned about the present political crisis in Andhra Pradesh. The State is passing through a crucial phase as it is a ‘make or break’ scenario. It is time for Telugus to make a wise decision either to part away amicably or to stay united forever. The current crisis clearly shows that the political leaders let down their own people for their political gains.  They indulge in match-fixing to safeguard their political positions and interests. They must realize that they got their positions when people voted them to power.  However, the politicians think that people are unaware of their political games and gimmicks.  The reality is that people have become more mature now due to rising literacy and recognize the real leaders who respect their wishes and champion for their progress and prosperity.

In any democracy, people are important, not parties. Political parties must bow down to the wishes of the people. There should not be any false prestige for them as everyone makes mistakes while making decisions. They must know that people are Gods in democracy.

The leaders who cheated their people have gone to the dustbins of history. It is obvious that there is a clear leadership vacuum in the state of Andhra Pradesh. This state is undergoing a major crisis and I am sure it will come out it successfully.

Andhra Pradesh needs true leaders who can walk their talk. People are looking for leaders who can keep the interests of their people above their own personal interests. Unfortunately, all political parties are vying to win the attention and affection of the people without addressing the major issues as the elections will be held in 2014.  The history of Andhra Pradesh will not excuse the leaders who let down their own people for their political games and mileage.

In India, there are divisions in the name of caste, region, religion and language which is a danger to democracy. It is essential to address it earnestly to strengthen democracy. Politicians are responsible for playing such caste, regional, religious and linguistic cards. Hence, Indian youth must come forward to lead from the front to take India to greater heights to ensure universal brotherhood and fraternity.  They must make India as a launching ground for achieving global peace and prosperity by spreading universal brotherhood.

Love your mother but don’t hate another person’s mother. Love your caste but don’t hate another person’s caste. Love your region but don’t hate another person’s region. Love your religion but don’t hate another person’s religion. Love your language but don’t have another person’s language. Love your community but don’t hate another person’s community. Above all, love your country but don’t hate another person’s country as to be born in a particular country is a chance, not a choice.  Remember, as your country is precious to you another person’s country is equally precious to him/her. 

Here is my message to the world: Respect to all. Disrespect to none. Jai Hind!



Life is great!

Professor M.S.Rao’s Passion and Vision is to Build One Million Students as Global Leaders


Dear friends,

Recently a prestigious international publication asked my passion and vision in an interview which will be published soon. I mentioned about my passion and vision as follows:

I am passionate about students and would like to transform them as healthy global citizens with global mindset. My vision is to build one million students as global leaders. My role is to ensure that the right people are in the right place at the right time to enable them to grab the global opportunities. When a drop of rain falls into the ocean it is without any significance. However, when the same drop of rain falls into a shell it appears like a pearl.  My role is to make sure that the drops of rain falls into the shells and appear like  pearls. Hence, my role is to make sure that the students don’t lose their significance by going into wrong paths and areas. I will make sure that they enter into right paths and areas at the right time to grow as global leaders with universal brotherhood and fraternity. Precisely, I would like to transform the global youth for doing global good to achieve global peace and prosperity.

My lifetime vision is to build one million students as global leaders.  To accomplish my vision, I would like to make use of social media especially through Facebook. I post articles on career, leadership, motivation, success, and learning and development regularly in my Facebook page, and you can receive them if you ‘Like’ my Facebook Page and click the option ‘Get Notifications’.   Are you ready to be become a global leader?  Then click the below links to receive regularly the notifications of inspiring articles and posts:

Professor M.S.Rao’s Message to Indian Students on the Eve of Independence Day


Dear leaders,   

Happy Independence Day!

It is an honor to share some thoughts with my students who constitute the majority of the Indian population. You are the force of India! You are the power of India! You are the leaders of this great country! Many revolutions are successful with your support.  You have transformed the Indian society extraordinarily. Because you think what is possible. You think what is feasible. You make things happen. And you see that India becomes prosperous.

Around 2000 years ago, India was the leader in the world. Long ago, we had the greatest civilization on the earth.  We were one of the richest countries in the world. We had great leaders like Ashoka who ruled not only India but some parts of Asia. Where do we stand now?  We are at the crossroads of Indian history. 

We got independence from the British in 1947.  When we look back what did we achieve?  Let us ask ourselves honestly. It is time to take stock of the situation. It is unfortunate that India still lives in poverty and malnutrition.  We have several challenges currently. The major one is corruption which has become a cancer to our Indian society. It is very sad to note that corruption entered into all areas of the Indian system. Remember, the day corruption enters into educational institutions and the armed forces, the country will collapse like a house of cards. Therefore, you must strive for a society which is free from corruption. That is the need of the hour indeed!

India has 28 states and 7 union territories. India is a country of contrasts in many aspects. India has 22 official languages and Indians speak over 1600 dialects. India is a land of unity in diversity. We are identified through different cultures and communities but connected by a single common thread – Indianness. India is indeed incredible!

India is a great country where a minority Sikh is the Prime Minister of this great country; minority Muslims became the presidents of this great country; a Dalit leader like Dr. Ambedkar could rise and wrote the Indian constitution that protects the rights of all  Indian citizens.  Indian land provides ample of equal opportunities to all citizens irrespective of their region, religion, language, caste, creed and community. We are the large hearted people in the world. Eulogizing India, Roman Scholar, Romain Rolland once remarked, “If there is one place on the face of earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India.”  

We Indians are known for hospitality. We welcome all communities and cultures with open arms. We have a great heart to accept and accommodate anybody and everybody on the earth. That is the greatness of India! Our Indian soil is rich with diversified cultures and is highly sacred with religious tolerance and secularism. You must be proud that you are born on this great Indian soil.

India has sheltered many religions, cultures and communities.  It is the land of all religions and nations on the earth.  We belong to a country that taught the world about non-violence and Satyagraha.  We belong to a country that taught the world about tolerance and secularism. We belong to a country that taught the world about fraternity and universal brotherhood. It was Swami Vivekananda who put India’s greatness on the global map in the Chicago Conference. He conquered America without any bullet.   

India is not an emerging country. It has already emerged as a great country in the world. India is the origin of ‘zero’ and India is the origin of the Information Age. Albert Einstein once remarked, “We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.”  

Indian civilization is one of the oldest surviving civilizations in the world. Mark Twain rightly remarked, “India is, the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grandmother of tradition. Our most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only.”

We have the largest speaking English population in the world. We are the largest surviving democracy in the world. We have championed the self-determination of people from Asia to Africa.  We are the global leader to support democratic movements across the world.  We are the number one in many areas. . We are the trendsetters, not trend followers. That is the greatness of India! We are the leading contributor to the United Nations peacekeeping missions. We are preparing to take our seat on the United Nations Security Council very soon. It is time to capitalize what we have, and move on aggressively to make a mark globally.

We had great leaders like Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Mahatma Gandhi, and Bhagat Singh.  Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose was a great patriot, a visionary leader, and an orator, who founded the Indian National Army. There are five followers of Mahatma Gandhi who bagged Nobel Prizes – Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela, Aung San Sui Ki, Dalai Lama and Barrack Obama.  There are a huge number of followers for Mahatma Gandhi across the world.  Our ideas and ideals are followed by great countries and great people across the world.  That shows our strength!  And we must make sure that Mahatma Gandhi’s ideals and ideas are emulated by everyone within India to make our country stronger and greater in the world.   

We are proud to have a strong judiciary in India. We are proud to have a strong media that checks everything. Thanks to the media that it highlights any irregularities and brings corruption into the public attention.

India is successful in the Green Revolution that fed millions of Indians. We have withstood the recent recession.  Many great countries and developed countries like US and UK have been hit hard due to recession.  But we are not hit hard due to our strong inherent systems.  It is said that if America catches cold the world sneezes.  The world may sneeze, not India and Indians.   

The global equations are changing rapidly.  Now it is our time.  A BRIC Report says that India has an important role to play in the years to come – BRIC is the acronym for Brazil, Russia, India and China. India has several strategic competitive advantages over these three countries and especially over China as India’s population is young and the Chinese population is old. However, let us not rest on our laurels.  It is time for us to work hard and work smart to take India forward economically.

Presently Indians are going to America to work. We Indians don’t have to work anymore under Americans and foreigners.  The day is not far away where Americans and foreigners will come to India and work under Indians. We will show the world what we are! We will show the world the might of India!

Let us be duty-oriented rather than rights-oriented.  Let us not ask what the country has given us.   Let us ask ourselves what we are giving back to our country. There must be change in the attitude of the people. There must be change in the mindset of the people.

We will work together. We will walk together.  We must make a pledge that we will make India a developed country very soon.  We will make India a Super Power on the earth. We will never rest until we accomplish our goal.

We had seen enough failures, separations and humiliations at the hands of foreigners.  Enough is enough!  Let us look back, learn lessons and move forward with confidence and optimism. It is time for India to be established internationally.   

We will protect our independence by all means. We are Indians first and Indians last.  No power under the sun on the earth can separate us. We are one.  We will live together and we will die together. We will protect our independence by all means. We will put our motherland on the top of the world.  It is our time to raise our voice and to stand out as the number one country in the world. 

We will walk as brothers and sisters.  We will share both sorrow and joy.  We will share both pain and pleasure.  If India is to be a great nation we must stand united ignoring the differences.  We should stay united by looking at the commonalities. It is our time to establish ourselves internationally.  We will not rest until we become a Super Power.  We will bring back the lost glory.  We will see to it that we become the number one nation in the world.

Be disciplined. Be tolerant towards others. Empathize with others. Respect all communities.  Love your mother, but don’t hate another person’s mother.  Remember, as your mother is precious to you, another person’s mother is equally precious to him/her.

The sky is the limit for you! You have abundant opportunities currently. You are born in the right time of Indian history. You have great potential and powers to take on this world. Bharat Mata is calling you. Develop a positive, right and strong attitude. Shoulder the responsibilities. Lead India and lead the world.

Thank you, God bless India. Jai Hind!

By, Professor M.S. Rao 

Pledge: Be proud of being an Indian.



I Have a Dream
I have a dream that one day the Indian youth will spread across the world and they will be in great demand globally.
I have a dream that the Indian youth will become more responsible with a great attitude to take on the global challenges.
I have a dream that the Indian youth will bring back our past glory by putting India on the top of the world.
I have a dream that we Indians will work and walk as brothers and sisters. 
I have a dream that we Indians will look at the commonalities, not the differences.
I have a dream that we Indians will stay united and become role model for other citizens in the world.
I have a dream that the sun will not set on Indians.
I have a dream that the Indian youth will lead this country from the front and make it a Super Power in the world.
