Dear Sanjay,
I asked my daughter while on the dining table. Who gave you food today ? She says "Mom".

. What an innocent answer. Her Mom Knows I earned it. I know the farmer ploughed it. The farmer knows rain and khaad did the work. Rain and Khaaad know Bhoodevi obiliged. Bhoodevi knows without Ram, all this would not be possible. Why ? Because during the creation itself, Ram (Narayana) brings up bhoodevi from beneath the water after Bhoodevi prays him for survival. Now, tell me where does Roti came from ?
Maya is a channel. It is not the end. Every channel is bound by Ram. Ram is not dependent on such channels.
Look at the chain of thoughts for a simple act of Roti. Even in mletcha lands, when they sit for dinner, they pray with folded hands to the Lord thanking him to provide bread and butter. They do not pray to MAYA while having food. So, what to talk about India.
Your thought stems from the fact that Maya works independent of Ram. Maya brings the desire and Ram has no hand in it. FALSE. Every single molecule of this universe has Ram in it. So Maya is no exclusion. You want Roti, you must pray Ram in this various virupas. Ram as in employer, Ram as in parents, Ram as in bhoodevi. Without Ram,
ROTI IS NOT POSSIBLE. If you pray Maya as in employer, parents etc.. your faith will be as lasting as water in the heat of the sun.
Every person makes his destiny as written by ones own karma. You are making in China, some others will make in the West and many in India itself. No harm in that. But to demean one's own country citing few favourable points of the neighboring country are signs of an opportunist, who will switch loyalties at the shift of the hat. Yesterday India fascinated him, today it is china, tomorrow even china will be outdated and US/UK will take forefront. "
Jo apni maan ko bimar hone par doosre kee maan ko apni maan le, wo doosre kee maan ko bhi kab tak apni maan maanega "
This is adharmic. Exchange of trade/commerce, traveling to foreign countries for work etc is never adharma in our Shastras. It is promoted. But to demean our own country when you see the glitter outside is definite adharma. You lack objectivity in judgement of spirituality. You see few saints going haywire and feel that entire spirituality is doomed in India. You see china's infrastructure and feel that we are pathetic.
In front of every hut, there is a flat, Near every flat there maybe a bungalow scheme, Near a bunglaow scheme there may be a palace. Only an opportunist and thankless son talks about how shallow his fathers efforts are as he owns the hut. And starts praising the apartment owner until the apartment owner shows him the mirror one day, telling him go back to your hut.
Since you talk about movie dialogues, let me quote one from Ghaatak when Danny asks Sunny deol to join his gang, after Sunny bashes his goon :
"
Ye mazdoor ka haath hai kaatya, lohe to pighlakar aakar badal deta hai.. " Declines the offer of having goons by his side, power to be with a dreaded criminal and do whatever one likes etc...
Look at the beauty of self esteem. He declines everything on the way to protect his zameen and cousin (in your context the so called GROWTH). He is proud of his land. Proud of his father's samskaras.

I just love this movie to the core.
In another instance his brother under the fear of goon decides to give uup his shop. and decides to move back to village citing will work their on their ancestral land. Sunny tells him "
Kaunsi Zameen Bhaiya, buzdil kee koi zameen nahin hoti"

.
Growth comes only when you side with the Lord, not with Maya. The growth of Maya is for deluded souls, who think this is the beginning and end of life. Roti is anna. Anna has Prana. Prana is Vayu(Hanuman), Where there is Hanuman, there is Ram.
For the philosophy of hungry people, the very reason they are in that state is because they have despised Ram. Had they not, they would not be hungry. This is deep rooted in theory of reincarnation. The more you act better towards Ram today, the better will be your state of affairs to have Roti in every life.
Don't run after Roti. Ram will not follow you. Run after Ram, roti will follow you.
When the correct meaning of Dharma Adharma is not known, Reading Sundar Kand becomes mere a ritual and lip service.
Chinese fried rice to chhod, Daal roti pe aaja.
