I am an Indian, My father used to tell me how his mother (my grandma) helped him pay the tuition fees of his college by selling the silk from her marriage dress (Marriage dress, is an important thing for an Indian, Most Indians marry only once in his life :-) ) (Tuition fee was like 50 rupees (1 USD) ) back in 1970's My mom used to tell me that it took her 1 year to save money for getting a table fan back in 1985. (my parents were teachers in a school) Things have changed a lot in India after globalization. I am sure India is progressing, Every beggar in the street has cellphone. It took united states 200 years to where it is now. We just got independence before 60 years. Please do not compare the living conditions of both countries. Yes India has lot of problems, caste, religious extremism, lack of quality education, Corruption, Poor infrastructure, vast gap between the rich and the poor. I am sure she will eventually sort these things out.
