ARE WE REALLY DEVELOPING?

Yesterday i was watching a debate on a news channel about the development programme of the newly elected UPA government.There was a Representative from the government side was replying most of the quarries of the people.But he was not able to satisfy the people by his answers,he was blaming state government for everything wrong and failure of every plan of the Centrel government but he was eager to take the cradit of every thing good has happened.

One of the attendant asked that when we were young we heard that India is a developing nation,now when we have reached at the third stage of the age we are still listening the same line,will we able to listen that India is a developed country?

This question was not only the best question of the debate but it was a slap on the face of all the governments those ruled India since we have got Independence.

Actually when these kind of questions are asked to any government representative you will get some complicated answers which contain a lot of figures made by the government agencies.

For example,if you will ask ,what are you doing to reduce the poverty? you will be given such examples as,the use of the cellphone is increasing the most in our country,people in rural areas has bought the most number of the two-wheelers in the particular year etc.

These figures are actually true but they are not the picture of whole the country.Actually the use of cellphones and the other products are the results of the blindly followed globalisation.We are using the cellphone in most numbers because they are compelling us to use,MNCs are trapping us.They are teaching us to use unnecessary things and to be the slaves of them.

I often sees some foolish surveys in the newspapers or on tv stating that India is developing because the sale of cars is increasing.I mean what is this rubbish?We have the biggest slum of the Asia.We have more than 70% population live below poverty level,then how can you say that India is developing only because of the increasing sale of the cars?

After the 60 years of the independence we the Indian people are still talking to get the basic facilities like roads,houses and food etc.Elections are contested on the basis of caste and religion.We have one of the poorest infrastructure in the world.

Actually our governments never care for the public,they don't want to solve the problems because if they solve how would they fight the next election?how would they blame the opposition for all the wrong with the country?.

I'm not happy to say but I must say that its true that we can never be developed in these kind of circumstances.We all need to be changed , government and we the commons.
