Always the same story

Lets be realistic.we are a third world country, mainly dependent on agriculture.we yet have high illiteracy rates and the quality of education produces people who learn to read instead reading to learn. So who would actually benefit from such ventures for industrialists where farmers lose lands without proper compensation or adequate relocation? how do we call this capitalist action as a development project? as only few elitist (also technically qualified) benefit and poorest of poor suffer as they have no skills to change jobs. Yes, Indian economy is growing but it has sharply increased the differences between the rich and poor. how is teh booming economy going to stop farmer suicides, increasing debts, problems of water supply, and poverty in short?
