Disparity unabridged...


India is now home to incredible stories of modernization, storehouse of talent and powerhouse of knowledge. Countries like USA have speculative fervor on our emerging scholars and graduates which has put them in a state of dilemma over their well established education system. They are facing stiff competition from a nation which was of no equivalence in the past.

India is taking huge leaps of advancement with diversified international strategies and efficacious business involvements. It has also become a happening place for foreign investors and holds a substantial position in the emerging markets portfolio.

From without, everything is coming up nicely on the path of becoming a powerful nation but from within the scenario looks quite different. There is a lot of time to focus and debate over narrow things which bring concussions between the political leaders but there is no time to look at the major drift that is catching up its ever widening pace, with the seeds of change being sown only for people who live on the upper edge in this country.

The riches are getting richer and the poor are becoming poorest. Its like one part of a body is moving hastily and the other is just limping at every step.

For example, the latest technological fizz is pertaining to the storage of data in clouds that makes file sharing, data migration and remote access more readily available to the educated class but that can be nothing more than a bad news for the majority of Indians who live in the absence of electricity- the most elementary need of technology. The advancement is confined to the major cities only while rest of the country looks stagnated. Stepping out 10 km from the periphery of any major city would reveal the true story to anyone from the educated world.

The population count has placed us in the runner up position and very soon we would be making it to the top with the current matrix of multiplying population. In such a scenario being only optimistic can not serve the purpose of connecting two far ends of our society.
With every problem comes a solution. However, a problem this big not only needs solution but also contribution. Little contribution out of our awareness can prepare the basic ground-work to abridge this gap. The will to contribute would itself eradicate the difference from the minds of young generation...:)
