One side of India :
1. Global hunger index - india 96th among 119 countries. nepal 4 and pakistan 8 spots ahead of india.
2.According to tendulkar committee 37.2 percent people BPL in india.
3.NSSO report states that 250 million people in india spend below 14rs per day.
around 100 million below 9rs.
4.Even after being the 4th larget economy in the world india is still 134th in human development index.
The other side :
1. Forbes in 2009 stated that there are 52 billionaires in India with a combined wealth of 276 billion dollar, or one fourth of countries GDP.
2. Three richest Indians worth 79.5 billion dollar while 24 of their Chinese counter part worth 80 billion.
3. India has the 9th largest expenditure on defence, its expenditure as a percentage of GDP is more than China, France and even UK.
Capitalism in India on surge but the basics that any country must have to strive for as primary responsibility of the government like Employment, Education, Nutrition, Welfare has not been achieved which makes Indian Governments 'feel good' campaign, high GDPs driven governance, desperation to make a global presence and every such effort illegitimate.
