India's population is more than the combined population of the entire north america, entire europe, former USSR, australia and perhaps some miidle east countries. Pretty muh the entire population of the developed world! Do we have the same GDP of all of them combined? same social spending? huh!!! That describes the gravity of the problem. We must understand we are poor and much overpopulated. The govt seems to be doing more for the rich and filling their own coffers. They are busy to generate a feel good factor, purely for political purposes. They say, we will wipe out poverty in 10, 20 years or India will be a develped country by 2020 etc. Perhaps they expect the poor to commit suicide or kill each other in this time. India will be developed not by having people in Forbes list, for china is more developed and has much less people in forbes list. We will develop when each of our citizens have legal work, which pays sufficiently to have proper meals, education, housing, healthcare etc. There are proper roads and infrastructure, everywhere, not just metropolis. The govt is just patting its back because of a booming stock market, which is certainly not govt's doing (may be wrongdoing). That still remains to be seen what is happening. So much so that they now boast of a big population, not telling that a large lot will become goons, in absence of proper education and work, and these poiliticians will pay them for booth capturing! God save India
