HOMELESS DEVELOPMENT OF OUR COUNTRY

Time and again we Indians hear loud proclamations by our rulers about our achievements. Of course, the people are proud of it too. It is high time that we should see whether these achievements are reaching uniformly to all Indians. For instance if we take our pci/ppp it may look to be presentable to the world, though remains at low ranking. But things get worse if we remove the earnings of just thousand richest ones from the whole 1.5 billion population.

Our street beggers, patients heaped in the hospital verandas, those sleeping in the way side during extreme winter etc tell us a much different story. While the haves are moving at a pace of 1,2,4,8,16,32 rates the have nots are stagnated at 1,1.5,1,1.5,1,1.5 rates. Should we not look at the lower strata of the society too? However, fortunately for some and unfortunately for many we Indians are well prepared to suffer anything, we will not fight against our own sufferings. Let all of us know that there are umpteen avenues opened for the poor and downtrodden to raise their standard of living. But for reasons best known to our rulers such avenues are not exploited properly.

Before we enter into the voting room we must bring into our minds the serious problems we are facing today. The large amount of corruption prevailing in our country, the huge amount of money pumped out of India by the corrupt people, the enormous amount of unemployment, vast number of people below poverty line,  thousands and thousands of women and children raped and killed all over the country, the astonishing number of illiterates in our country and such never ending ugly and treacherous things are prevailing in our country should be brought into the mind before voting.
