India govt. in a 2002 speech promises to "make India a Developed Nation by 2020"; Only 13 days left in 2020, what is the progress of this plan?

[-=virus=-]

For the indicators like hunger, life expectancy, adult literacy rate, Children under five years who are stunted, India's performance is even WORSE than North Korea, and you call such performance as "doing ok"?

yes, we're doing ok

keep believing otherwise, though, Mr Zhou. Serves us well.

Not sure if the poor Indian people that with serious hunger situation, low life expectancy, illiterate, whose kids are also suffering from bad stunting could think the same.

But India becomes richer than us four days before, as predicted (like a magic) by the Indian politician.

His son still is still an influencial leader in Indian politics even today, the family bloodline never stops, which is unheard of in China.

You are right. Xi pingping's father was not a politician at all

didn't vajpayee taunt the taliban in 2002? does anyone have his speech regarding that?

 

[gulli]

Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee's Independence Day Address 2002 says: Our aim is to free India from the curse of poverty and unemployment. It is to make India a Developed Nation by 2020.

Now that only 13 days left in 2020, may I know the progress of this promise?

This is the stupidest cliche for a democracy. Do you have a "choice"? You "choose" whoever you are told to choose. Besides, do YOU really get to choose? You being one of 100 trillion (40% iliterate) Indians? Your vote is nothing. The masses are fed by the media, the media is bought by the parties who are owned by the wealthy and powerful.

Democracy in Asia is a farce. Uneducated people who can be bribed to vote for a piece of clothing, a meal or worse, a cup of tea, do not deserve democracy.

They need an education first to understand what democracy entails and how to make a choice. They need that grooming. Majority of Asian populace does not have that capability.

You need educated, sophisticated and above all "Disciplined" people capable of understanding their best interests to participate in a true democracy.

Such an electorate does not exist in most Asian countries, and did not in Singapore of 1950's either.

Lee Kuan Yew was and still is my idol. This brilliant man understood that the fake promise of democracy in Asia was pointless and implemented a disciplined quasi one-party state (more or less) based on electorates with family values and discipline (fiscal, societal) and a philosophy of hard work. Look at what difference seven decades made. Most Asian tigers that followed that philosophy (and of course China) prospered.

India trundles along with - "Sahib told us in 1945 that this is for our own good..."

Well guess what - Sahib left a long time ago...

Letting democratic chaos rule your country only enables outsiders to dabble in your societal weaknesses and fractures to make you weaker and profit from it. The sooner people realize this - the better off they are.

So far as science and technology is concern, India is ahead of many developed nations in the area be it space, be it defence, be it pharmaceutical, be it supercomputing or be it nuclear technology or IT or artificial intelligence.

The grammar mistakes and tone of this post speaks more about one's level of understanding and education than India being 'ahead' in anything.

how about some indicators that are more directly relevant to normal people's daily life?

life expectancy wise, India is performing WORSE than North Korea;

World Bank Open Data

Free and open access to global development data

data.worldbank.org

Literacy rate (adult) wise, India is also performing WORSE than North Korea

Children under five years who are stunted, India is still performing WORSE than North Korea

GHO | By category

Hunger situation, India is only slightly better than North Korea. While Kim Jong-un could blame the UN sanction for the huger in his country, what is Modi's execuse for India's hunger situation as one of the WORST on the earth?

India

With a score of 27.3 in the 2024 Global Hunger Index, India has a level of hunger that is serious.

Thanks to Modi, in the last six years India fell behind even Bangladesh in all these areas and indicators. Our per Capita GDP has also exceeded that of India.

Blind supporters of Modi are called "Andh-Bhakt". These people will listen whatever Modi tells them. If Modi tells them the sun is rising in the West, then that is fact.

Let's re-count some Irony.

In May 2019 some Indian magazine predicted that "Bangladesh Will Have Better GDP Per Capita Than India By 2030".

Bangladesh Will Have Better GDP Per Capita Than India By 2030

Well that milestone was achieved barely 17 months later.

Godi Media pundits were in complete denial how this could happen, but it did.

Thank You Modi.

Unlike many other Asian countries, India won independence by not wining a independence war,but it's colonizer decide to leave. After the colonizer leave, nothing changed compare with the colonial era.only put a dress of socalled "democory", lowest class is still lowest class, ruling class is still ruling class, and with the caste system, lowest classes lives even worse. high caste never see low caste as fellow citizen.
No wonder India today became the biggest joke of "democracy".

certainly way far far far ahead in pollution, farmers suicides, rapes and open defecation, COVID infection and death

and of course, typical rss hinduvta arrogance and self bragging

in these areas, well deserved 2020 supa powa
