Indians on Forbes

Read the news?(I hate this word read,you will never know whether it is Rid or Red). Indians are conquering the Forbes list of the richest persons of the world. Gautam Adani is also listed on the Forbes. Hurray, Celebrate.

But something is missing to note..

Once our professor had said(of course with a little exaggeration)that the 90% of our national income has been possessed by the top 10% people and only the rest 10% of national income has been shared by the rest 90% of population. Seeing American names on the list of toppers is surely a matter of feeling proud for themselves because they are having a car per family. They are having a strong middle class and far less income inequality. Whereas India is having 30% of its population below poverty level
. But we Indians are just used to over-react on any matter either it is Ambanis or Sunita Williams.

True that our economy is one of the fastest growing economy in the world,but that doesnt mean that entire India in all aspects is developing at the same pace. If someone says that our poor class is developing rapidly than I must ask why the NAXALISM is broadening horizons? NAXALISM is nothing but the consequence of the uneven developement of our nation. India is growing up like a handicapped child. India is undergoing rapid industrialization, but at the cost of Agriculture. The Higher class is getting more and more rich, but it is also a bitter truth that farmers are committing suicides across the country.
