Traveling through the interiors of Orissa about 6 months back, I was witness to the abject poverty ,some parts of India still struggles with. Sitting in large metro cities and prosperous towns of the country, we don’t fully realize the situation prevailing in the hinterland. Yes India is growing rapidly; yes India will probably grow more rapidly than every other economy in the world (including China) during the current year but the gap between different sections of the society needs to be narrowed down and this needs to be done very fast.

Economic prosperity in one part of the country or for one section of the society increases the societal imbalances and leads to discontent. The Western European economies have effectively handled this and the deviation from the mean income is marginal in these countries.
