i agree with rajesh, pls look at the common man how many under bpl, social security, medicines, medical facilities,electrification of villages, roads, where is basic infrastructure? narayan murthy will talk as per scientific progress, pls read the preamble, v are a democratic secular socialist republic. what has happened to comman man? cities like new mumbai going 5 hrs without power, pls donot even think abt rural areas, no power for more than 12 to 15 hrs. u call this progress? look at the esis schemes, ar ethey beneficial? no medicines available you think this is progress. by launching a satelite what good has it done when u cannot predict natural disasters, law and order in capital itself is bad what about states like up/bihar. 60yrs of independence has only increased the gap between rich n poor and divided the country more on sectorial and caste basis by acknowledging that economic backwardness is not the bench mark but the birth of a person is determining the reservation to education/jobs. well the list is long. am sure alot of my friends will contribute on this board of the progress of the nation. pls dont count billionaires but chk percapita income.pls dont compare with bhutan/pakistan/indonesiaafghanistan. the bench mark has to be higher, take japan/china even russia. u will realise what v hv achieved in 60 yrs, buying selling of mps to retain power.
