In countries with as appalling poverty as India, socialism would do much better for the welfare of the poor at least. But these people are selfish. They have been infatuated with 'GDP growth rate' and 'Superpower India' that they fail to see the hundreds of millions of poor and their abject suffering, I mean are those poor beggars on the street not human, not Indian, not their 'brothers and sisters'. It's useless talking to them.
What has happened to Socialist countries?? Heck even India was on the verge of bankruptcy...so let's not talk about things which we know fails...if we don't want to learn from other's mistake atleast we should give some importance to our own experience..
Subsidy and all this talks/consideration of poor is all good...however the million dollar question is who is going to pay for it...you have X amount of money...now you need to use this money to add value to lives of people...if you invest a substantial amount of X amount in giving subsidy then you are left with that much less for investing in infra...Lastly even if you want to give subsidy it should be only for those who really need it...90% of Delhi is not below poverty line..
