Comparing Men,Money, Mind in World
As they say " A Nation is nothing but a group of Human beings". Nations development indicators needs to be understood so that their ranking can be done to build healthy competitive world.
Let us spend some time to compare the Men, Money & Mind in this world based nation as a unit. Today the world identifies humans roughly with 150 nations. So to share best practices among these nations this comparison will help to learn from each other.
These three parameter are essentially the growth indicators of any nation. Each year a country's Population, Country's Economy, Country's Innovation are ranked by global organizations. Let us look at the ranking for the year For the year 2017 India ranks second position in population, 7th Position in Economy,and Innovation It could not find a place in top 10 countries. Where as a country like Switzerland occupies 1st position in Innovation, a country like USA ranks first in Economy.

How is this possible?
Nations' progress in a country should have direct correlation with no of humans living a given country, but in reality that is not working.
One of the reasons for failure of such correlation is lack free thinking culture in the country. India boasts of having strong cultural diversity,rich in literature, strong democracy but it could not create a culture of free & rational thinking.
One particular observation of region like west Bengal which gave birth to Ravindranath Tagore, Amartya Sen, Jagadeesh Chandrabose who have become global leaders in fields hey have chosen. Also a region like tamilnadu which gave birth to Venky Ramakrishnan, CV Raman, Subramaniam, Ramanujan. Both of these states are known for their culture, love for local language, Love for heritage, & free thinking. Can we have similar culture across India.
With 125 crore population India should have been the first ranker in Innovation. Its time we think and act to make it happen in India. Nation's rise and fall depends and its people and their ideas. Sometimes count of people can be low but still they can produce infinite ideas.
Let us contribute to make India Number 1 in Innovation Index
