India has failed in ensuring better life for Indians and the saddest part of the story is that life is worsening year after year.
You do not believe it because you live in Metro and you are part of minuscule, infinitesimal, microscopic and negligible creamy layer of the Indian people on the scale of annual income. Your eye may believe the bitter truth once you read the news appeared in leading newspapers like Economic times on 6th October 2009.
But standard of living of largest chunk (95%) of Indian population has not improved despite all big talks of development and improvement in the country. It is the conclusion arrived at by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) on Human Development Index and it is sad that India is ranked 134 out of 182 countries.
To add fuel to fire on India’s image among world community of nations, Transparency International (TI) has ranked India among ten topmost corrupt countries of the world. You may see TI’s report published in the month of September this year which enlightens the scale of corruption prevalent in Indian politics, administration and corporate sector and also suggest the role of Private sector to fight it out.
It is a however a bad news for our beloved Prime Minister Mr. Manmohan Singh, bad news for Mr. Chidambaram, Mr. Ahuliwalia, Deputy Governor of RBI and Mr. Pranab Mukharjee and a bad news for all those leaders of the country who feel pride in saying that India's GDP growth is the best compared to other countries of the world especially in the current year when there is global economic slowdown.
“What would you like to become after completing your education”,
If this question is raised to a grown up child of Indian average family,
the immediate reply will be “Either a politician or a corrupt officer”
