Recently joined JP Morgan Chase project .
I am usually quite fond of studying about big organisations and like BIG brand names.
JP Morgan Chase being no exception .
At times I also like to take photographs of the big buildings and offices of such organisations.
I remember taking the first such picture of Microsoft Development Center there in Hyderabad with my Sony Ericsson W550i :) when the security guard was totally stopping me .
So back to why I mentioned JP Morgan.
As I said I like reading about the companies , I was reading about JP Morgan as well .
I found that the comapany history, turnover, revenue is HUGE .
I mean I don't deny that bigger organisations do exist but this is really BIG .
Falling within the category of BIG 4 banks in US (Citi, JPMC, Wells Fargo, Bank of America).
The, company in context (here JPMC) was founded in the year 1799.
So Old ?? This diverted my attention to - where was India at that point of time ?
I then started thinking that why these countries got an edge over ours .
As it has been quite long that I read about Gandhiji, ( I felt a little guilt as well ) but then searched for the birth year (2nd October I remembered) of our very own Shri Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.
DOB: 2 October , 1869.
What I am pointing to is ...
So even before Gandhiji-the father of our nation was born , the banking industry had started taking shape in US .
And that too 70 (SATTAR - to make a better effect) years before Mr. Gandhi was born .
I don't say that the gap between the developing country, and the developed country will be always there .
And I am more assertive on this now after I watched a very nice video of Swidish Professor Hans Rosling on TED, that I would like to share
But yes, the better use of brain that the WEST has done is very much appreciable .
Then, I also read in an article about the leader Mr. Thomas Robert who was the first the raise the concern for population
overgrowth .
Thinkers -- these have definitely been the real visionary people .
Saying so I do not commend all the deeds that the west or the britishers have done and looted India.
Surely in 1799 in India the three big Battles of Seringapatam, Seedaseer and Mallavelly were being fought .
but I really sometimes wonder , why since the very begining the birth rate of such philosophers, thinkers, visionary people is more in these countries rather than ours OR is it like there have been leaders but some how we did/do not promote them ...
