India is a developing country - Comments Please

India becoming poorer and poorer. Every 9 out of 10 people living on 1$ per day. People are stupid to elect corrupt politician again and again. People like Raj thakare dividing people on basis of language. If something bad happen in a city or village people block road and create heavy traffic Jam. Law is only for rich people.

INDIA is still developing country because corruption is continuously widening his ranges.After independence we have no such corruption so our growth rate was good.Those who are required to take actions are themselves a part of it. But for India to be a developed nation it will take another 10-12 years.

Yes, I was also like you disturbed about India being called a Third World country in my halcyon days. The US and the then USSR were supposed to be First World. Then I used to ask my clooege mates who used to tout "great awareness" by asking which was the Second World. I used to receive an answer that there was no Second World. I myself assumed may be Japan Germany and the War ravaged UK on the upward path was 'perhaps' the Second World. Thought I am not the supporter of Communism, for I am one who thinks Communism is one of the stupidest ideas to cross the human mind or may be the work of the False Prophets of The Bible.. for they(Communists) denied the freedom of worship to people, and placed too much faith on human endeavor; yet I appreciate the way the revolution brought in its people a forced sense of pride and shutting off from the rest of the world they garnered what could be called as strength- mostly military to take on the US hegemony. People talked of balance of power. Since India adopted a neutral and dependent approach-we depended on the west for our foreign policies, technical collaboration for development, Economic Aid and what not. Naturally as a "giver" their hands were up!They could coin any derogatory terms like "Third World" or a convenient euphemism like Developing country. I could go on and on.I would like however to pause for a response.

It will take a lot of time for a populous developing country to become a developed country.Plus our politicians are mostly corrupted.It will take at least 30-40 years for india to be a completely developed country; ie, by 2040.Now india is the second fastest growing country in the world.
