India in Twentyfirst Century- is it Going in Right Direction , Indian Economy and Development- What Lies Ahead







India is the largest democratic country in the world. India is growing thick and fast. Indian economy is becoming more and more developed day by day. Some exparts claim that India will soon become a super power like USA or Chaina. But are all these reflect the true story? What is the real picture in front of us?

Let us consider some unpleasant sides:

* Inflation is a real problem before the Indian economy. Steep rise of price of essential commodities is causing concern in the lives of millions of Indian population.

* Illiteracy- After 60 years of our independence, a huge percentage of our population is not literate. A true democracy is possible only in a country where literacy is high.

* Population Explosion- The population of India will be highest in the world overtaking Chaina in near future. It will not be easy, if not impossible to provide food , habitat and job to such huge no. of people.

* In an attempt to provide residence to all and setting industry, amount of forest and agrecultural land is rapidly diminishing. It will hamper our environment and could resulted in scarcity of food.

* So many races, cultures and languages in our country is not making the life of our administrators easier. Alwys there is a chance of clash of interests. 'Unity in diversity' is probably best suited in books.

* Terrorism- Now a days it is a global problem, but India is heavily affected by terrorist attacks different times. We had lost our two prime ministers which is a great loss for our country.

* Political instabitity- Over last 20 years, there are some unstable/ semi-stable governments in the centre and many a state. Its unfortunate that we, the Indians can't form a stable govt. and it is a definite hindrance to our developments.

Fortunately, amidst all the problems and short-comings, India is marching forward. Lets not loose hope!
