CAN WE INDIANS ACHIEVE GROWTH IN ANY LEVEL

Our political leaders when have a large gathering to listen, say, economic development of India is something easily achievable one. We may overtake China in another few years! We will be among the advanced countries of the world! Awnd very soon by political parties we may listen that we are going to be the richest in the world! Speakers continue with their tall speeches and the listeners continue to clap their hand. Our one-way traffic media reports make these great speeches reach as much people as possible. But what is hidden from probably most of the people are: 1) considerable amount of about 1.5 billion population still live below poverty line or close to the line above, 2) a large amount of our population are between illiterates and below matriculation, 3) ours is one of the most unsafe country for women in the world, 4) countless number of people are begging in streets across the country, 5) unknown number of children are unable to attend the school and the list goes on and on.

Until we realise these adverse facts and take corrective measures our leaders' loudspeaker oratory shall have no positive impacts, but remain as a comedy and tomorrow's generation shall these as a crime. For instance good  mumber of our youth including the qualified ones

are left unemployed. Unless we find a zero unemployment rate in our country, we cannot say that the country is on the way for an economic leap. Our unemployed youth therefore, should think about something of there own. The college going children should also think on this line. Our future is our own. We should not wait for someone's fantasy.  Fortunately we have one of the most intelligent youth in the world is with us. No one to guide them. Let them strongly believe that they themselves can guide them to a bright tomorrow.
