comments from umesh sharma 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.

halum, progress will happen until ofcourse u are an african nation, as matter of fact we are better than some, but if u compare with cuba, the social security of common man/ education/ sports have developed more as compared to us, n v have done better than them in space and science. but pls accept that the country exists in rural and semi rural areas instead of the metropolis there again the gap is too much. dont we as indians who specialy from middleclass and the service oriented poeple pay our taxes on time? it people like us who are regulars in paying our taxes compared to businessmen and politicians who dont. as a person who payes the taxes, isn't it my right to basic necessities of life? what does it matter to me if v hv launched a satelite? lets think aboout that, toll stations rip you up, one keeps on paying for their up keep, cess which is applied on all taxes goes on for generations. is there any sanity in this?? public money is misused by right from the corporator to the mp, loan waivers/electricity bills waivers all done by them who pays we tax payers, we hv all the right to ask for better facilities. hope the next elections are earlier after this sordid chapter by a bunch of morons coses with the fall of the govt. on 22nd

Hunger has not vanished from India, nor has starvation. These are being simply covered up as malnutrition by lying state governments. Do you know in Thane's Adivasi district (that's just 50 miles from Mumbai) several hundred tribal children have died due to starvation; and several thousand are malnourished, with distended bellies. There was a time, when Mr. James Lyngdoh mentioned, that "we (the IAS) officers were given hell if there was a riot or starvation death under our charge". How times have changed.
Incidentally, Sify carried a WHO report two days back, (Sat. July 19) that a full 1.2 billion people in the world do not have adequate toilet facilities, and are forced to defecate out in the open. 625 million of our unfortunate countrymen (a full 50% of the WHO) form a part of this underprivileged global group.

You will have to accept India as she is. Nobody will be able to eliminate caste systems in India. This situation is because the majority of the people (we are) are dumb and no spine. Thats why all politicians and merchants ride on our back.Not only congress but BJP, Jansangh, all caste based parties, the present 'holier than thou' communists, Ambanis, Tatas, Mittals all are responsible for this plight. even you and I are also responsible since we sit in A/C rooms and write these messages which reach only 0.00000001% of the population of India. waste of time.
