After a prolonged period of more than a half century,we could ,at last, achieve some advancement in the spheres of technology & industrialisation while we failed miserably in removing the income disparities.Rich are growing rich & the poor stand where they were. Concentration of wealth still continues. Power politics have grown in leaps & bounds culminating in non-stability of govt.Lopsided planning relegating agriculture to the back accounts for the low per capita income owing to our village base being predominant with farmer community.Pampering of some sections of people in the name of perennial reservation policy has become a demotivating factor for the merited and non reserved categories.Good education still remains inaccessible to many.Communal riots are on increase.Terrorism by misguided youth of a particular community has become a bane for public safety.Values are giving way to materialism and consequently to too much of unwanted consummerism leading to inflationary trends on & oft,the kind of which we are presently reeling under terribly.Morals & ethics in people -more so in officials are on decrease.Corruption is at its zenith.Sincerity & honesty of purpose is abjectly lacking in all govt projects.Though the literacy rate has increased,standard of education in terms of basic human values is falling abysmally setting all our progress at naught since a nation's character is to be built only on values & if we lose it,we will be supposed to have lost every thing.
