The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of India is going all time high. In stock market sensex is creating new history everyday. Foreign reserve of country is in ever-good condition. Indian companies are now following the real locus of globalization and started acquiring foreign companies. They are setting up their plant in other countries. This is really pink picture of the Indian economy and we all hope that this would be maintained forever.
But flip side of this healthy economic condition could confuse you. Where is the growth, which has always been claimed by prime minister and the finance minister? After 60 years of independence, 26% of population is still living below the poverty line. They don't have food, shelters and employment. Most of them are hardly getting food for themselves and their families even for one time. But our economists say that India is in better condition then ever.
Those who are saying that Indian economy is in better condition and everyone will get benefit from this growth but this growth is not translating on the life of starving people. There is an appalling condition in villages. Women are going several kilometers for a pot of clean water. Besides that availability of hospital, school is very rare. If a poor person or villagers is suffering from sever health problem then he does not get prompt medical assistance but when a rich person is suffering from a mild headache he can easily go to a specialist. Rich people drink mineral water; where as poor don't even have clear water to quench their thirst. Children of poor people don't have a school; where as wards of rich go to English medium school.
On 60th Independence Day the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has announced some relief measure for socially deprived person of the society. In his speech to nation the pm said that we introduced new pension scheme, insurance policy and for the welfare of society we strengthen our education system. This is a usual speech with bunch of lucrative promise. Every time we heard about that the government is trying to do something for poor. But at the last the result has gone in vain. Day by day the gulf between riches and poor is widening. The government must look at all these factors, which could make constructive and brighter future for deprived people. The government must have to do strictly implement such policies rather than more announcements.
