Dear Manas, Thanks for sharing the sunny side of India.
When we proudly present the progress of incredible India, we have also to consider the lives of the impoverished rural areas where two thirds of India's 1.2 billion people live. If not all, majority of them are left behind by India's soaring economic boom. It is not only urban India but also in the metros things have not changed. For example conservative Indore's well-known clinics and hospitals are operating on children who are 1-5 years old catering for the obsession of a son - changing the lives and future of the children. Honour killings still take place also in India's capital. Despite existing law, dowry deaths still take place. In some places of India human scavenging is common. In many areas Dalits are not allowed to enter temples. To make "incredible India" "credible" we have still a very long away to go. Unless some of us change our way of thinking the journey will be long. If you have time and want to know about the other side of India visit the following links and make your own judgment. Greetings, Wahid da I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy. Tagore .
