Indian Developmental Paradox

Frnd, my India is growing..Crossing all horizons...

Growing Deaths by poverty...(all over India)

Growing Farmer Suicides..(Vidarbha)

Growing Farm land acqisitions...(Singur)

Growing queue of helpless land oustees.. (Narmada)
(Some are given deserts where they cant feed themselves or their cattle...for
the proclaimed development..!!!!!
Many are not given that deserts too...!!)

Growing demolishion of slums of the unfortunate Indians..(New Delhi)
(Poor are not even allowed to beg..!!!!!)

Growing intolerances in name of GOD.. (Gujarat)
(They are trying to save their own gods..rather than gods saving them..)

Growing number of caste atrocities..(Khairlanji massacre)
(Some hindus are even not allowed to enter temples even now...!!
Socialistic face of GOD...???)

Growing percentage of millions below poverty line..
(Fastest growth in India..!)

Whom I shld thank for this growth.?


The sweating Richshaw puller near New Delhi Railway Station arguing with a business
tycoon for one rupee..
Or the farmer who decided to suicide...

Or the mine worker suffocated inside coal mine...
Or the black dalit who was not allowed to enter temple..

Or the slumdeller beaten by the guardians of law for begging for his stomach…..
Or the lean mother who sold herself for feeding bread to her child…

Or the thirsty beings longing for water near Coca-Cola factories….
Or…
I know my list is incomplete...
It is for u to fill or delete it....

NB : A gun at this moment in my hand..would have made me to suicide myself…
Becasuse I am highly worthless…my hands are incapable to resist this growth…

Please answer a single question..Are we better off post the economic reforms or not...and give a single practical solution for the paradoxes u mentioned? Revolution? Where are the bougeous brethren to be throttled and killed? There are none..only hardworking individuals...The revolution is dead and the proponents of revolution itself have become the guardians of the status quo....let us create economic activity...let us find out the fortune which lies at the bottom of the pyramid..let us empower every poor Indian...Do you want to keep the poor always poor so that you can write unending melancholic prose?

dear anonymous..
my hrt also beats same like u...i also sincerly want to make each n evry poor indian soul to get an ioppurtunity to fill their stomach atleast once...yes we hv empower each of the poor india...
i will make my point clear...Reforms created a shift in our economy..growth n change is happening..Sensex rising..Corporate profits increasing..FDI increasing...middle class educated ppl are getting more jobs...

But...u see..compared to our GDP growth..our per capita income havnt rose too much..too much ppl are shifted out of their homelands as SEZs grown up and not compensated well..
In a country where SEZ land decisions are made fast, still land redistribution is not done other than in kerla..generations are living n dying without owning a single piece of land...agriculture pdcts made here bcame less competitive to the imported ones resulted in increased farmer suicides and diminished agricultutre growth..

Slum dwellers are shifted out of their slums and thr slums are destroyed..Are they not Indians ??..Can we think they are also feeling same as an Indian we ?...

Reforms created wealth...its make rich more richer..n those middle class rich...But those marginalised Indians...The poor..they became more Poor...
My answer to ur question..is ofcourse a big NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
