India's growth Story: Islands of prosperity in the ocean of tears
Recently, the mainstream media reported that India has become the 4th largest economy of the world, surpassing Japan. There is no doubt that there has been rapid development in terms of roads, flyovers, ports, airports, luxury apartments and shopping malls in India in the last few decades, but the dark underbelly of this glittering development stands exposed when we see the situation on the front of poverty, hunger, malnutrition, education, healthcare, unemployment, housing, economic disparity, social and economic insecurities, climate change and ecological disasters. There is no doubt that the comforts of the life of a small section of Indians have improved considerably and some of them have amassed so much wealth that they have joined the ranks of the wealthiest people on planet, but the condition of workers, small and medium peasants and lower middle classes that constitute the overwhelming majority of our society remains pathetic. It is this paradox of India’s growth story that we wish to discuss as part of our next discussion. All are cordially invited.
