Human Development In India

The average Indian Citizen would be aware of many listings, like the Stock Market Listings; New Release of Films Listing, Cricket One Day / Test Listings, Favourite TV Program Listings etc.

Honestly, if any one is asked about the Human Development Index of our Nation. The Instant reply would be ' Who Cares for Such a Listing?'

India is growing to be a Super Power.....No Doubt. But it is also languishing with a 'Super Poverty Syndrome', with a considerable percentage of our people starving for Food, lacking Basic Social Living Conditions.

The Photo featured here was taken by me at the Taluk Office in Tiruchirappalli, where a poor man lives on the street and sleeps on the road. Ironically, this is a place where the Government Officials and the Public are seen to be moving heavily during the day. No one can escape by saying a reason that this scene has never caught their attention.

Having stated this Startling Fact, now probably common people would agree that ....Yes! Some people in our Country are starving even for a Meal for many days at a stretch. But what can I do about it? I have my life to care for....who cares for someone who is living without food. If I waste my time thinking about the Hungry People in India, then a day will come when I will be forced to starve like them.

Friends, The Passing the Buck Game will continue to be played for many more years to come. Yet, the Human Development Index in India will remain to be very bad.

I wonder what impact the Millennium Development Goals would look like if this is going to be the state of affairs in our Over Populous Conuntry.

Mera Bharat Mahan !!!
