India:-A Poor Country of Rich People

India is a poor country of rich people…It does sound quite paradoxical but Yes….it’s true…. India was once recognized as the “GOLDEN BIRD” but after the rule of foreigners the feathers of this golden bird were snapped away from its body..The present scenario is no much better…What was done by the earlier rulers is now being done by the politicians of our country and the tradesman of that era has been replaced by the businessman of our times..

Actually now India stands divided in many parts…Let us consider the bottommost part and the uppermost part. .Bottommost part consists of the people who are even not able to afford two square meals a day..they don’t know what luxury means..their whole day is spent just in finding food to quench their hunger..There are farmers in India who commit suicide due to various reasons ranging from pressure of payment of loans to low productivity..there are people who are living in such squalid conditions that we can’t imagine..there are still people in India who don’t have access to electricity…People in India are still dying due to starvation, still in many villages, residents have no proper sanitation facilities, good quality drinking water, people are still dying due to age-old diseases such as malaria, cholera..all this is happening after more than 60 years of Independence!!!On the other hand there are politicians, businessman, actors and others who can afford every luxury of life….They can pay their exorbitant bills without batting an eyelid…they enjoy Italian, Continental, Thai, Chinese and other such foods which for the poor multitude still remains a dream.. The hard earned money by the common people is squandered by our politicians on luxurious cars, big homes, flats, condos… there are men in this poor country who spend millions of rupees on marriage, birthday, anniversaries ,festivities and other such occasions. Recently in Jharkhand, one of the ministers spent about ten million rupees on the birthday of his son..but no one dares to ask how he managed to earn so much money..more than 25,000 people were invited and dance bands were called from other states..such is the ostentatious way of living of a minister of a poor state such as Jharkhand..Jharkhand who is still one of the most underdeveloped state even having so much natural resources and eight years of self-independence!! Moving on…there are people in this country who can afford to send helicopters to bring their daughter’s bridegroom, there are men who hold marriages on aircrafts, ships.. men who can afford to book entire 5 Star hotels and palaces for marriages, party.. men who distribute invitation cards by dispersing them from helicopters!!Such is the scenario of our modern India…On one side there is abject poverty and on the other implausible richness…Much is needed to be done to remove the ever increasing disparity between the poor’s and the rich…Mere appearance of few names from India in the Forbes list of rich men of the world will not help India prosper..Some rock solid action is required to remove this big disparity..This will only make a better India to live ..It will surely bring prosperity to the whole India and happiness on everyone’s faces…....

For me the sentence India:-A Poor Country of Rich People is hardly Paradoxical…….

What’s your Say???
