Why India Still Remains Poorest Country?

Why India can never be a developed country or beat China?

• It is corruption that is the biggest bane that India faces today. While the media paints a rosy picture of India as a Rising Asian Giant, the fact remains that in esoteric circles India is and will always remain to be a "third world country". The crippling bureaucracy and laggard political system mitigates whatever growth we have achieved in the past decade which has remained constricted mostly to the I.T and BPO sectors while the political underclass remains poignantly unaffected by this growth. The divide has only grown larger with an astounding 40% of the Indian population that still remains below poverty line. All the more shocking is the callous attitude of the powerful middleclass who can actually shape the future. It is not that India does not have the means to ward off poverty altogether for it does. However our erstwhile great leaders must ensure that the poor remain poor for otherwise it would dilute their votebanks and the fund are used insidiously in endeavors that serve little purpose or seemingly disappear mysteriously into the unfathomable depths of the pockets of our politicians. This is only because we have no integrity and little accountability. The democratic system of India is intrinsically flawed for the term "India" is merely a myth and its venerable citizens still remain on many levels still remain clamped on to the hoary and ancient ideas of caste, religion and state. India is the worlds biggest spectacle and a cacophony of bizarre contradictions. It is like a macabre circus of disjointed ideas that serve as a stark reminder of a once great past as we interminably move towards a gloomy dystopian future. Our significant achievements India posseses: 1)We are home to the biggest goddamn slum in Asia and our population will be larger than that of China within a decade or less...And also china is a much much bigger country than India 2)Policies are only discussed, never implemented for there is no accountability. 3)People are fragmented with caste,creed, region and religion which is exploited by politicians.This regardless of literacy or education 4)Poverty has only increased after independence owing to a faulty bureaucratic system of governance. 5)Little effect of population control measures. 6)Mumbai holds the dubious distinction of being among the most filthy, overpopulated and costliest places on the planet.. 7)we have the dubious distinction of having 7 states poorer than Africa 8) Amongst the largest human trafficking cartels in the world is in India 9)Largest number of people living BPL: in Asia this despite having the largest number of millionaires anywhere in the world. 10) Indian Politicians are amongst the highest paid in the world with their average salary being 169 times that of the per capita income 11)The black market economy is thrice that of the nations GDP 12)Most average Indian citizens actually believe India is already developed..lmao All facts except 11 surmised from newspapers.

• Answer:

  Are you asking a question or trying to explain something to the reader? I learned something new. Thanks for lecture. Anyways, I think I have a broader reason which may be part of the problem as to why India will never catch up to China. When you go to virtually any store in America and look at the bottom of a product, it will read, "made in China." America is buying Chinese products, so China is becoming more powerful. This isn't something new. America was once on the other side of things. America used to be a producing country in which it shipped many products overseas. Many of which went to Britain. In that way, America gained economic prosperity, and China is doing the same thing in the present day
