The following is a reproduction of from an article I wrote in 2004.
1. Harnessing the vast human resource in the country shall be the main objective.
Most of the unrest and disharmony happening every where, may it be of social, political, various disruptions caused by actions and counter actions of different ethnic groups and communities turning into religious extremism, are due to the shift in the focus of life among the mass especially the village youth, and political are due to desperation fermenting of the prevailing situation that deprive them options and opportunities to grow up and lead a normal life. To alleviate it, the primary focus shall be on the uplift of the 750 odd million rural population, by providing them basic amenities such as a home to live, clean water, cheap electricity and fuel, primary healthcare, free basic education, effective public distribution system, good roads and other infrastructure, and a minimum assured income from agricultural or trade related occupation for a moderate livelihood. When that is achieved, there will no one to follow the miscreants.
India needs a different type of democracy, knitting of a secularist nation with the threads of participation of the entire mass, one of the country’s big strengths, in every sphere of national growth thus realizing national integration in the course.
The American model of democracy where self-indebted vanity is the yardstick of development is not suitable for India. The consequences are obvious now. China’s methods during the previous few decades though seem effective are too drastic and impractical to emulate here through a democratic process.
2. India has huge potential to grow:
Every sphere in India is bursting to expand. See what has happened in Telecom & IT sector. In spite of the bungling Telecom Authorities, the political parties and the irresponsible media that cry foul at everything at the postmortem stage vying each other to kill it, the Industry had grown, making telephone available and affordable to general mass.
Every other field in the country is waiting to grow. There is huge growth potential in Power, Highways, Roads and Railways, Airports & manufacturing of aviation and defense Airplanes, Ship building, Auto mobiles, Telecom & IT manufacturing & services and Rural Telecom development, Linkage of rivers to harness water resources, Fishing, Farming & Agriculture, Education, Health care, Pharmaceuticals, Textiles, Defense production, Internal defense and National Security, Oil & Gas and exploration and internal utilization of abundant natural resources and quality export of finished products etc. and other major infrastructure projects and use of alternate resources for power generation and utilities.
None, seems to have real grasp of the enormity, volume and magnitude of the economic structures required to meet the social needs and aspirations of a billion and odd, that are continuously changing with time. When looked in the right perspective, for a country like ours, the proposals and figures in our annual budgets are only a minuscule of what need to be done.
Those in the government and the opposition vie each other in, magnifying the many non-issues out of proportion and fight on those, leaving out the real problem areas where focused actions are badly required. The politicians by and large in this country lack courage to go anywhere near the real issues. The voice of urban middle class and the media dampens the pathetic cries of the huge poor urban and rural mass.
FM, again went through the same old ways about improving the economy the way the typical manipulation the reserve bank do by trying to rejuvenate economy by adjusting half a percent here, quarter percent there. Therefore, this budget is also just another ordinary accountant's script.
