But
Those are troubling stats, moreso since these represent the state of my nation today. The current administration has clearly failed to live up to its mandate and must answer to the electorate.
It's, sadly, also understandable the spirit in which this thread was started. As an Indian on PDF I can empathize with the anger one feels when another casts aspersions on their motherland, even moreso if it has an element of truth in it. Looking around to see ones neighbours in a worse state has become a balm for complacency rather than an impetus to reflect and affect change.
At least here, an unapologetic and a brash view exists unimpeded about the multiple problems afflicting my country. IMO Sorting the genuine and then implementing a change for the better should be the way forward rather than looking around to see if the accuser has it worse.
My country's honour is better served fixing our problems onground rather than defending it online against anonymous posters.
But even if you want to compare and accuse us of being the same.
We do have our own batch of problems.
But they are not bigger then the ones india face or probably sometimes very small things are blown out of proportions because of our image.
The point is that pakistan is nothing.
But india is in g20 countries. You have built up your reserves right, and all the stuff about economy and exports. If everything was growing at 7 percent even then it is not enough to feed your population.
The growth story and good economy certainly has not translated into poor people. Who have become more poorer.
What kind of india the leaders want. An indian where there is an island of rich and a sea of poor.
The rich is getting richer day by day and the poor is getting poorer.
The path this government follows of gimmicks. Blaming pakistan and Congress and playing religion card to distract from real issues.
For an economy like India. Do you even have a single city that can be called world class and compared to eurpeon cities or Chinese?
If anyone can do worse. Its media. It has made the audeiance believe that they are supper power. And they have stopped asking questions and wanting more.
All they need is to win. And according to their media they are winning against lets say pakistan, Congress, Muslims etc etc.
