WHERE INDIA PLACED AMONG ADVANCED COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD

   We Indians are very busy in the 2024 election for the parliament. We have around 2,500 political parties across the country. Out of these only 10 are holding about 86 percent of seats in the parliament. Yet many of them are doing their level best to secure such number of seats so that they can make some good bargain at the appropriate time. However at this time we the oppressed and suppressed common man of this country may take a glimpse of our beloved country and a few around the world.

In the case of literacy Russia, Poland, Ukraine and some more countries have the record of having 100 percent literacy in the world, some others are following them with 90% and above. However talking high on our age old culture and civilization we Indians are hanging on 77.7% (2022) literacy.

The highest per capita income of the world is earned by Luxembourg with USD 1,26,426 (at conversion rate of 83.6, this world out to INR 10,569,213) Some more countries  are closely following Luxembourg. In 2022-23 the PCI of India stood at INR 1,72,000. How many decades or centuries it may takeb for our country to reach the level of Luxembourg.

According to the available report of 2024 the percentage of people having there own houses in these countries are: Laos - 95.9%, Romania - 95.3% and Kazakhstan - 95%. There are many more countries with over 90% of the population have their own houses. With regard to total Indian population 41.37% of our population are deprived of their houses (2019-2021)

While countries like Finland, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Australia, UAE etc do not have any beggars there,

Countries with the lowest crime rate are Denmark (1.1%), Ireland (0.44%) and Iceland 22.26%. As per the total crime reported in India during 2024, the crime rate in our country is 445.9 per lakh.

Countries like Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Luxembourg etc are rated as the safest countries for women in the world, India ranks 128 among 177 countries in the world as far safety of women is concerned.

At least during this election time let us have a close look at these matters.
