India and India Shinning-The Irony

IT sector is on boom, Aviation industry is flying high, new businesses are developing fast, Sensex is showing record break markings and India is getting global recognition. True, but, where is that India which has a literacy rate of 61% placing it at no.107 at the world literacy scenario, farmers from Andhra Pradesh to Maharashtra are attempting suicide due to debt loads, industry is given primary importance over poverty and where poverty itself just becoming the election agenda to attract votes which gets bogged down later in the clashes of political parties.

Again, this is India where various non profit organizations and NGOs are stepping in to improve social and humanitarian reforms, farmers are getting subsidies, children are getting free education and Indian railway is making provisions for employment. But, again, is this India which is divided regionally as well as economically over globalization, where people protest against the development of a chemical hub in the area like Nandigram, a chief minister manages welfare of her own community over others, where caste is given importance over profession, where political party like CPM, talks of equal financial status and evokes incidents like Nandigram for its own benefits?

These and many more problems are in the store to be solved. This irony of India shining has become chanting cynicism toward development which is a bitting satire on our developmental existence. And the basic question with underscored challenge is to think beyond this irony and cynicism for acute development and India shining.

Yes its right that India is lagging behind in several fields like cast and religion but as you have your views on nandigraam my opinion is different from yours there is protest because they are taking farming land on which food is grown also they are not giving them prices for their land which they deserve.its far less than real estate prices.And they are not providing any free land where they can live afterwards so it's totally injustice to farmers of our country. :-[

Yes I agree with you in the Nandigram case but the intention here is the violence which should not happen at any cost in any democratic nation.

:'(yes your concern is right today there is so much violence on tv that nature of a normal human has changed.they are more aggressive and some bad elements are taking advantage of it to add votes to thair vote bank.they are not at all concerned about country what tyey are concerned is if they are in power or not and how to get in power?
They have forgotten the morals of our ancestors and freedom fighters. :'(
