Creativity - losing it's meaning in India?

Creative people - they're born, not made. Creativity is something that you cannot teach to someone, it's a born art that one sharpens as he/she grows maturer. It's an art of life, not everyone is blessed to be creative but those that are - behold with themselves a great trade.

India is a country of diverse culture, rich tradition and marvelous heritage. Who else but us should be the leaders in creativity among all the other countries but sadly, it isn't so. Why? Do we lack creative people! Certainly not. Then why? It's simple, we do not give creative people the respect that they deserve.

In spite of continuous growth of our country, we're lacking behind in certain aspects that will bring our country to the world level, give us the fame that our country has always deserved. Why is it that creative people need to leave THEIR country and try to make a name for themselves in other countries?

I recently saw a Shekhar Kapoor interview, widely recognized director from India. He has directed musicals abroad but why is he not being provided the same platform in India? AR Rehmann does the same i.e. musical concerts abroad but why not in India? At a recent event of a news channel, Zubin Mehta mentioned that the capital of our country doesn't even has a concert hall. You decide, is it right for government to neglect the creative side of our country!

It would be unfair if I name one creative field and don't name the other, it'd be best if we refer to them as 'creative people' belonging to 'creative field'. Without more ado, it must be government's priority to create high quality infrastructure for people 'blessed' with creativity. Whether it's concert halls, institutes or just about helping them economically - government must not neglect them.

This post is a basic idea of where the creative field and creative people of our country stand, do post your views regarding the same. I look forward to hearing your views. :)
