The Tajmahal, Gandhi and Poverty symbolize India, said the results of a survey done by a popular news channel.
It has been the richest and the most educated country for centuries, until the British Raj, when the downfall started, and a small group of people, joined the likes of Gandhi to get us freedom. Gandhi's motive was just freedom, but that group of people, proved to be the virus called "Babus" and the "Aam junta" made them heroes, larger than life, for chasing away the British.
Evil spreads faster than good, and was proved time and again by these babus, and after sixty years of "Babu raj", India is still symbolized by poverty!
Are there no rich people in India? There are, and they got richer by the day, and have been the best friends of our babus. It is this glorious friendship that has "helped" neglect the under-privileged, and they are still the same today.
A small section of them believed in education, and over two generations, have evolved as the "middle-class" , the ones who have succeeded in making ends meet and save up for a self-sustained retirement, without losing dignity.
Time has brought us today to the crossroads of dilemma. Do we wonder at the technological advancement and growing opportunities in India or do we worry about the poor, who still don't earn enough to feed themselves?
Do we bother about how many Hindus and Muslims live in India or do we worry about those who are struggling to even live?
What do we do?

Well to begin with, before we find the solution to any problem we need to knw the root of the problem. India is such a vast country,with deversified cultures,religions,castes,etc. If we were a country with one religion,caste,language,etc, I don't think we would have to face so many problems.
[i]What do we do ? [/i]
Nothing !! :p
Thats what the politicians have been doing all these 60 years !! they have never addressed the central important problems of our country which even a 6th class student can point out !!
I think it's high time we start we citizens take a step.
