TO MY CHINESE FRIENDS STOP CRITICIZING INDIA OR I WILL BURST YOUR BUBBLE OF "CHINA IS SUPERPOWER ".
MIGHTY INDIA RISES!
Really? but then why India is ........?
Despite the economic growth and outsourcing of foreign jobs by western companies to India, majority of the Indian population still wallow in extreme poverty and disease. Behind Indias new-found economic strength are three hundred million poor people that live on less than $1 per day. Government figures may indicate a reduction in poverty. But the truth is, with increasing global food prices, poverty is spreading everywhere like a swarm of locust. Conditions are worst in the rural areas where close to 70% of Indias population resides. Statistics show, that 2.1 million children under 5 years old die of malnutrition yearly.
India is not be rated as the most corrupt country in the world as far as the figures go but corrupt practices exist here in India like any other place in Africa. Public school teachers rarely go for classes but still get paid at the end of the month. The ministry of education in India is struggling to identify thousands of so-called ghost-worker names of teachers that only exist on payroll yet victory is far-fetched.
Mumbai is beautiful and businesses are flourishing but that is for the privileged few. The poor, who are majority, live in slums. They can only see and fantasize about the beautiful things in the city of Mumbai, but can't benefit. The streets of major cities in India, like the rural areas, are populated by persons who cant even get the minimum amount of calories that is required for survival due to the low quality of food they eat. To many Indians, basic amenities such as proper sanitation, portable water, and health care are luxuries they can only get in their dreams.
Many young girls have resorted to prostitution as a way to escape from poverty and provide for their families. Increasing number of girls are dropping out of schools to look for jobs. In some extreme cases, parents force their girls out of school themselves. This ugly trend spells doom for Indias economy in the future.
As families cut back at the number, quality and quantity of food they consume per day; meat, a source of protein, is no more an option in the menu of many families. People now opt for less nutritional meals just to put something in the stomach which has a bad effect on childs growth. Meanwhile, its estimated that 40% of children in India are suffering from stunted growth.
Extreme Poverty and Hunger in India
BTW, when is the last time you have a full stomach?
Hahaha get real, in 1979 we already eliminated starvation and youth illiteracy, something India still struggles with. We launched our first nuclear submarine, synthesized insulin, genetically engineered crops and boasted a 70 year life span.
In 2010, India's average lifespan, literacy rate, electricity per capita and daily calorie intake are still below that of China in 1979.
Only when you admit your lowly place, can you have motivation to struggle. Otherwise, you are just frog in the well.
So all that was achieved prior to the reforms,need a link.

looser get some real information. As of 1990 china had lower per capita income and much more starvation and poverty than India. there are still hundreds of chinese living below poverty line.
you are not admitting it. lol
lower per capita income - true (too lazy to look it up). that's 1 indicator.
however, we've also had higher literacy rates, lifespans, and more technological achievements.
oh here i found GDPs in 1990:
