India's present and future



When we think of India we can come only to one conclusion , ie., it is the most mismanaged country, What is lacking in this country? Why we have to be branded as a nation  with rich resources and poor people ? Why does poverty continues to this level even after 68 years of Independence? How is that  we have so many billionaires  with global level ranking in richness ? How could all the governments in power since Independence allowed this atrocious income inequalities ? Why does India ranks very low in health indicators, gender equity,  ease of doing business, educational quality, women’s safety , child abuse and ranks very high in corruption?  Is India in a democratic mess ? 

The answer to these questions we can get from the number of corruption cases running into several crores of rupees happening under every government . Corruption has become a national disease in India . When  politicians  are elected to become members of local bodies or  State Assemblies or the Parliament or ministers ,their aim seems to be to accumulate ill-gotten money to a maximum extent within  the term of their office. Only few are caught  and brought under the legal system . There are thousands of politicians with black money and income disproportionate to their  known sources of income . Even the bureaucrats and police officials are highly corrupt  . Corruption is paralysing good governance . The archaic laws give escape routes to these law breakers .  The police , administrative, education, election   and judicial reforms are long pending . The youth who are disappointed with the performance of  all the governments which had ruled  India so far, including the present government which came to power with tall promises are seeking greener pastures and migrating to other nation.s Only those who can not migrate are left behind. We are so proud of youth power and what are we going to do for them with this type of parliamentarian who are so proud of paralysing parliament and consider it as an act achievement and the top leadership shielding cabinet ministers and chief  ministers who have indulged in acts  of corruption and illegal activities? . questions and questions with no answer about future India . The shining India remains a permanent vote catching slogan without any practical value attached to it. We do not see any symptom towards it even if we want to have positive hope. The PM talks about clean India campaign . who is going to clean the corrupt  India? Can we see such an  India in the near or in the distant future at least?
