India: Its policies and Realities

In Media from past 5 years they are showing that India is becoming dynamic economy but the situation on ground is very different... I am born and bought up in Indian city Hyderabad. I got a unique chance to visit and study in China for 5 years. I stayed in china from year 2002 to 2008 in north eastern city Dalian. I want to give a brief comparison between these two cities and China and India in general.

India and problems:

Cities are so cramped and they are not well built. Successive governments of India are so ignorant that there is no electricity in Indian cities. Microsoft Hyderabad has to order tons of diesel for its generators to run the company. The situation is just horrible in India. If at all you want to do business in India you must face just too many problems because the country is at least 30 years behind China. No world bank report or no media will say you the exact problems which this country face. People are desperate here. In villages across south India Electricity stays for just 5-7 hours a day and they cant run their farm motors because of shortage of power. Food prices in India are much higher than China recently a provincial government in India Andhra pradesh has totally failed in controlling rice prices and rice price was almost a dollar a kilo gram. In a country where making a dollar is just as difficult as climbing mount everest how can a poor man afford to buy a kilo of rice and eat in peace of mind.

Rectless and Ignorant Government:

Governments in India fail to provide basic facitlites like Water and Electricity. Police in India are so corrupt that more than 90% of cases are settled outside the police and court and atleast 90% of people never get punished even you file a case. People are just loosing hope and respect to once a great nation where Ghandhiji walked and preached truth and non-violence.


Democracy:

Today people are talking about IRAN president but how about India the majority party dont even have 20% of votes but still rules the country.... Is this system sustainable at all... Just Extremely corrupt officials and ministers fraud billions of dollars and buy great luxury villas and live like Maharajas or simply rouges...
