RE:Nuclear Tests!
by Gautam Puri on Nov 29, 2007 09:28 AM

What do you mean by "what the british developed was not even maintained". What the hell did the british develop? 50 years ago when we got independence from the british the country was in a pathetic state, barely any infrastructure, 90% poverty rate, 88% illiterate. Thats why we fought for independence. It is all true that the indian govt has underperformed and done far less than it could have, but we are 100 times better off today than during the british raj. And no, it is not true that the poor are becoming the poorest. Indias rich may be getting richer at a faster pace than the poor are getting richer, but our middle class is gradually growing at a steady pace. Instead of such negativity and condemnation you should try to find solutions for the problems that exist.
