User blog:GunsnadGlory/The Future of India

India.

A country full of slums. A country where nearly a quarter of the population is illiterate. country in which just under a tenth live in poverty. A country full of corruption, ranked by the Economist as the third most corrupt nation of 2011. A country with horrible infrastructure, and often blatant law breaking. A country with a Parliament which cannot agree on anything.

But next to those slums are tall, shining hotels, resorts, office buildings, etc. They have massive IT service and textile industries. They have the thrid largest military on Earth and one of the most powerful. A quarter illiterate means over a billion literate. A tenth under the poverty line means over 1,300,000,000 over it. And as the Shiv Sena party proved, corruption is a double edged blade- it can hurt the FLO, but it can also hurt the criminals (they used money to corrupt the lower levels of a Mumbai mafia council and then finished the leader and council).

What is the future of India?

I leave this to you to decide.
