India is a country
where most of the people live life below the decent standards , and the is standard
not European but very much modest Indian one, people of 1.3 billion scale
produce 1.8 trillion dollars of income annually that on an average comes around
1500 dollars for average person in a year not even 6000 rs per month, and if
you see the inequality you will have a different picture altogether , if
artificial richness is imposed on the people by way of mindless transfer payments
that do not add any capacity building in the economy then results would we
disastrous, take for the example case of stampede at Allahabad junction where
score of people were killed, the reason, mammoth crowed that could not be
managed by any means of transportation, the rails are overflowing and thank god
no railways casualties are reported.
The simple point I want
to bring home is that because of our poverty the mammoth population do not put
pressure on the infrastructure to its proportionate scale otherwise it could
have been complete chaos given the present state of infrastructure in our
country, imagine the power situation! every power transmitters could have
failed. What i mean here is not that it’s good that we are poor but rather somehow
it is manageable for the economy that people are poor, the richness of Greeks
broken their economy because Greek could not match the aspiration of its
people.
It is very important
that country grow riches before its people become rich and not vice versa so
that it can meet the aspirations of people, i am afraid had it not been so, policy
makers and administration would have hard time managing economic riots, due to
low economic conditions virtually there is low aspiration level and low demand
and that to mind biggest reason binding India together, differences are more on
other lines than this crucial line.
There is always
delicate balance between richness of people and economy and that must not be
broken, pathetic poverty is unpardonable but stinky richness without proportion
is also risky.
