It's good news to know that now Indian citizens can have visa-free travel / visa-on-arrival in 52 countries - quite certainly, it's a sense of rejoice - a sense of accomplishment!
However, let's look at the following table. It has names of countries who enjoy similar privileges that are more than what India does even after this accomplishment. And it is interesting to note that you may not have even heard names of some of these countries!!
Country name (citizen of) Number of countries they can enter
Malaysia 163 countries
Malta 163 countries
Liechtenstein 159 countries
Hong Kong 152 countries
St. Kitts & Nevis 131 countries
Montenegro 98 countries
Dominica 87 countries
United Arab Emirates 72 countries
Thailand 64 countries
Quite obvious, the above list does not have the fancy names like UK, USA, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Germany and other European countries / developed nations - as usual, they sit on top of the list!
As I propagated in my previous blog - India has everything. Then why can't we be there among top few? People expect Sachin Tendulkar to hit centuries. As a nation can't we hit a century - where we have at least 100 countries to travel without visa or with visa on arrival. We can certainly do it. We have everything! Remember, it's Incredible India!
So let's promote our country all over the world. Let's show to the people, that we are good and knowledgeable people to be associated with - and for sure, more and more countries will open doors for us!
