It is impossible to supply even good drinking water to a billion strong population. No point blaming the politicians - anyone in power would behave the same way because there is too much competition even for basic necessities. India has already passed the point of no return due to unsustainable population growth, pollution and destruction of the natural environment. We are insignificant in most areas of achievement, be it in science, technology, arts or most sports. Just having a huge unskilled labour force is useless. Progress in the modern day depends on quality of the human population, and not quantity, which is all we have.
