A contribution.....

Who says that only CL Pune mentors have the right to create blogs? Definitely not!There is something that I ardently believe in...' I can be a teacher only when I learn from my students.' Something like this happened during a class of mine with a certain batch of CAT-09 aspirants at the Bund Garden center. By now we know that there is a compulsory essay to be written in the XAT exams so we had some time dedicated to this activity during the course of an English class.

'Oh no!, Can we do it as homework?, We haven't written an essay for years together...' were few reactions right after the announcement of this activity. When the students realized there was no way out, they delved into it with a lot of sincerity and the outcome??? well this is for you to see... I am sharing with you an essay on " Development in India is merely a sham" written by Aditi Nagpal, one of our very promising students. I haven't done any editing. I wanted to share the original piece with you guys ...so read along!!!!!

DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA IS MERELY A SHAM!


With recession hitting the world badly and India still standing strong, is the scene as clean as it is projected or is the Indian economy practically in tatters? Kudos to Ratan Tata for launching a 1 lakh car and standing by his promise but probably Indians do not have many things to be happy about. With Ramalinga Raju proving a dent in the industry with the Satyam Fiasco, examples of forgery galore. While female empowerment is the mantra for practically every NGO and every government that comes and goes, there are zones where the BURQA system still prevails and regions where women cannot simply come out of the confines of the house to assert independence. There are cases of female foeticide on the rise in the areas close to Rajasthan and Gujarat. With farmer suicides on a horrendous high last year, the subsidies rolled out by the government does not reach the agricultural segment. Instead it is gulped away by the middle hierarchy. Same holds true for minimum support price launch scheme.A lot of difference creeps in between what is declared and what is implemented. This plight is shared with development welfare programmes regarding provision of civic amenities, sanitation and infrastructure.

Even if we state that corruption can be taken care of by voting honest people and the next generation i.e. Rahul Gandhi and Sachin Pilot can carry the onus of responsibility, Varun Gandhi’s speech of bigotry says it all. The segmentation of the regions, the politics of communalism and riotous tendencies of the Jehadis amongst us expedite the collapse of development before it merely happens. The very attack on the TAJ popularly known as 26/11 shook the very roots of the economy with such a big business organization shaken till the root and government still struggling to bring Kasab to book.

I can comment about this topic merely from the view of a spectator but I expect to change opinion as soon as I start contributing with all my heart to my nation!
