Why do we talk anbout PCI. Itis all jugglery and misleading.If we hv to compare our county with other countries, we have to equalise the basis and than compare on the basis of PCI. It is erroneous to compare straighaway on the basis of per capta income. We hv to remove the creamy layer and than see. India is not the Indian cities and those who r getting 40K and 50K and soft ware engineers. India is elsewhere which most of us either do know or never bring it out in the reckoning. The fact is that we r very very poor and it will take many many years to come to the stage when we can compare ourselves with other Nations who matter. Unfortunately we r too slow and waste our energies in self developement and give scant attention to developement of the total society.Education, strict family planning and equel distribution of wealth on the basis of efforts put in, will only help. May the wisdome prevail.
