Every day we hear about growth, development and feel proud about our economy. I am a lay person and will try to take a very simple view...
Economic development is initiated by optimum use of available resources and distribution of the fruit among people.
One of the resource is human resource and most important of them. A country with huge natural resource can not develop if it's human resource is not capable to utilize. Most of African/Asian countries are example of that. On the other side Japan is best example of what learned human resource can do.
In India after independence improvement of economy was tried by industrial development and had almost steady rate of growth. But post liberalization we see BOOM. Now what is the reason ? Did we now using our natural resources in better way , Or our human resource are more capable now ?
Govt has done a great job by opening our economy. But that is it. No other major effort is given.
After liberalization our large work force has got scope of work. Before that we had no option even if we wished more.
Now a lay person will think development is there if his neighbour and he is earning more and spending more. And we are all seeing that now costly gazette/ fashionable dresses/Shoppping are very accessible to all. So we are thinking that our INDIA is greatly developing.
10 years before few boy under 30 could purchase flat/car on his own, now it is very normal. Shall we think that boys of present age is more capable than his 10 or 20 years seniors at their youth.
No. A big NO. Now we are working more. In all sense it is more.
First our working starting from very early and ending is very late. Second we are joining job at very early age. And never retiring even above 70.
I see very young boys with costly shirt/trouser/Tab at late night trains. Every sign of extreme fatigue is marked on their face. Now you can call it development.Even if it is then how Govt is factor for this. Why they take credit for this.
In no statistics it is considered how far we are stretching our working hour. If it considered with other developed countries the balloon may collapse.
The development is majorly in outsourcing sector where we get jobs as our labour is cheaper than First world countries.And in outsourcing sector the working hours is most inhuman. The all buzz and hullabulla of development is for those people who work in those sector in very compromising way.
It is ironic that some Prime Minister/Chief Minister/Corporate poses with chikna face and throws dialogs of development for which they are least responsible.
