When we got 'freedom' in 1947 or when we became a republic in 1950 we had a population of 37 crores approximately. The percentage of those below poverty level, if we had a means to ascertain, assuming the figure of population was more realistic then, must have been, for a lay man's estimate not more than 15%, say roughly 55million Today contry's population is 120 crore(official and unofficial places it any where above 150 crore) more than 4 times! Percentage of those below poverty level, again an estimate of a layman, is at least 50% which is 700million roughly! What economy, what growth, or what super power are we talking about? Whether we can call our country, I am afraid, as Super corrupt, an expertrise to pickle every thing in corruption. Population now living under poverty level is double the population of the whole country in 1950. This has defied all economic projections and experts' findings! Not even an astrologer can say that our contry would be healed of all its ailment ever unless a miracle happens or India (not the world)ends and resurect unless corruption,unwillingness of the authority to work hard and deliver, see purpose and need for doing a thing rather than brooding around to delay, neglect and harass the public with a view to earn illegal gains are all done away with, needless to mention that every one attend diligently to the work asigned  to him.    THE DRUMS ( COMMON MAN AND POOR) TAKE ALLTHE BEATING AND THE DRUMMER RECEIVES ALL ACCOLADES!!!! ALLEVIATION OF POVERTY IS JUST A MIRAGE, THE MORE THE AUTHORITY CLAIM TO HAVE DONE SEVERAL TIMES MORE REMAINS TO BE DONE!! POWERS THAT BE'S STOMACH APPEARS TO HAVE MUCH BIGGER OUTLET THAN INLET!!! --- On Mon, 8/8/11, AFROZ ALAM SAHIL <afroz.alam.sahil@gmail.com> wrote: From: AFROZ ALAM SAHIL <afroz.alam.sahil@gmail.com> Subject: [rti4empowerment] Request for your views To: zoaib415@gmail.com, rti4empowerment@yahoogroups.com, "HumJanenge" <HumJanenge@yahoogroups.co.in>, humjanenge@googlegroups.com, nrindians@googlegroups.com, "sadiq naqvi" <naqvi.sadiq@gmail.com> Date: Monday, 8 August, 2011, 2:53 PM   Dear Sir/Madam, It seems that we Indians have become immune to social and political disturbances. The recent years, at least, testify the existence of the phenomenon. Multi-billion scams, attempts of ethnic cleansing, repeated terror attacks and other such infamous activities ease one of the prominent facets of India. The completion of 64 years as the world's largest democracy deserves many accolades, at the same time, a critical analysis of the nationhood slaps us with hard-hitting questions. The slums stare in the eyes of the symbols of growth and developments like airports and skyscrapers.  A large section of the population still lies below poverty line. Does it mean independence of a country in real sense? Being cynic is a sin but being skeptical should not be crime. BeyondHeadlines wishes to get the answers to these questions from your critical intellect. For the same, we invite your contributions in the form of articles or opinion pieces by August 13 on edit@beyondheadlines.in.   Afroz Alam Sahil Editor (Investigation) www.beyondheadlines.in -- AFROZ ALAM 'SAHIL' Mobile:-+91-9891322178 Blog: http://suchnaexpress.blogspot.com       Save a tree.
