Thanks for invite Anand, and agree with your view. Have a simple question to all those who keep chanting figures and economics: What does GDP or economic indices mean to a person toiling hardship and still groping for a square meal? just for survival.

dear Mr Kandadai, Read your views and just in case you would like to change your opinion: "The count of poor is as well increasing" how would you relate this with the policies. The models we are copying may belong to a nation that has likes of Ford foundation and Bill gates as well which we not nt even learning in percentile terms. So copying selectively may not take us anywhere.

The country's GDP is growing and the Indian economy is on its way to becoming one of the biggest economies in the world. However, there are a lot of other issues (corruption, health facilities, etc.) besieging the economy. These issues are also prevalent in other countries at a higher or lesser level. India is ranked 84, among 180 countries of the world on the worldwide Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) (in 2009), prepared by independent international agency Transparency International. Thus, unless key issues are solved, the promises forecasted by the Indian economic enviroment will remain a mirage.......

Anand you are to the point. It is actually the country is growing by way of GDP but the citizens are not growing very surprising. One should break age old shakels and change the whole system of rich and poor in our country and find out a solution otherwise majority of population will remain as it is. Very unfortunate but true.

Certainly, in my opinion, it is not a false confidence. I look back my salary in late 90's & compare it today's. I find a remarkable change. Not only in my pay back but also , the facility I had. Its not the inflation. It is of economic growth. The buying capacity, similarly of an ordinary man, multiplied . Mainly, his earnings & the living conditions, has improved.Many of the people has not seen an AC bus /train but , now, many travels knowingly.See the education front, the quality of education offering instituition has grown well with good patronage of students. There may be a price rise ,still, people do not hesitate to hire a car or buy things that they desire.WHEN I SEE ALL THESE VIRTUAL HAPPENINGS AROUND, I CAN NOT SAY IT IS A FALSE CONFIDENCE.

Given how we define poverty, as some percentage being below a certain income level, there will always be some one who is poor!!! Before we talk of wiping out poverty, we need to re-visit the definition. All things said and done, we will always have poor people in any capitalistic market society (No I am not anti capitalist!!!!!0 We are making a very strong start and standard of living of most cross sections of indian society. Unfortunately the population grows faster than we can fix the problem. It is an on going situation which will be in the running for a long time to come. After all even the so called developed countries have beggars - one finds them in a city like new york, LA or London. But i am confident we will get there despite the politicians.
