World’s sixth Nuclear Weapon’s Power of India ranks 132nd in UN’s Human Development Index-1999
Washington, D.C., Wednesday, July 14, 1999 - The United Nation’s in its Human Development Report 1999 – an annual yardstick that measures not only per capita income but also life expectancy, school attendance, adult literacy and poverty leaves etc.- ranked Canada 1st, (means a large Sikh Diaspora community) United States 3rd, Australia 7th, Netherlands 8th, UK 10th, Germany 14, New Zealand 18th, Singapore 22nd, Malaysia 56th, Thailand 67th, Brazil 79th, Sri Lanka 90th, China 98th, South Africa 101st, Indonesia 105th, Egypt 120th, Gabon 124th, Lesotho 132nd, Ghana 133rd, Cameroon 134th, Congo 135th and Kenya 136th amongst 174 countries surveyed world wide.For the sixth year in a row Canada ranks first n the UN Human Development Index. At the other end of the scale is Sierra Leone at 174th just below Niger 173rd and Ethiopia 172nd. This tenth year that the UN publication is spotlighting, with massive statistical data, humanity’s march towards a better life. According to the opening lines of the first Human Development Report, published in 1990, and repeated in the introduction of the latest – 10th – the report is about people. Human development is the process of enlarging people’s chances, what people do and can do is their lives and pursuit of happiness. Since first being published in 1990, the Human Development Report has developed and constructed several composite indices to measure different aspects of human development. The Human Development Index (HDI) has been constructed ever year since 1990 to measure average achievements in basic human development in one simple composite index and to produce a ranking of countries, a cross section of which is reproduced below, to give an idea where India stands after fifty years of so called Independence.
Despite a surge in free market economic growth in Asia. India remains one of the world’s most backward places, keeping company with African stone age countries like Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, Cameroon et . al. In India six hundred and fifty (yes 650 million) Indians have never used a public or private latrine. Over 53% of India’s population over 500 million people – live like slaves and below the poverty line of US $1 a day. Nearly 480 million Indians (48% of the population) are illiterate and that country has the distinction, according to the HDI- 1999 Health profile on page 174, of leading every country of the world in "% of infants with low birth weight at 33%". Indians working at the UN have somehow managed with low birth weight at 33% and also have managed to omit the information that India has the highest population of AIDS cases in the world. This horrible situation will persist unless liberal infusion of social investment takes place, and that will never happen, as long as the medieval Hindu caste system, and its morally repugnant Brahmin caste champions, rules the roost in Delhi.
Here are some facts to show that India will never, not even in a hundred years, be able to shed the squalor, the misery and the lack of hope that is India. In the 1995 UN’s Human Development Index India was placed 134th out of the 174 countries surveyed and in five long years (slow marching at what economists call the "Hindu" rate of growth) it has improved 2 points to reach the 132nd position in 1999. Bravo! In the same period Bhutan which was placed at 160th in 1995 has gone up to 15 points in 145th in 1999. Similarly Nepal jumped seven points from 151st to 144th, Myanmar improved from 132nd to 128th, People of Sri Lanka are better off, despite the civil war, by 7 points from 97th to 90th, and China has bettered its lot by 13 points from 111th, in 1995 to 98th in 1999. As a comparison over populated Philippines leaped 23 points from 100th in 1995 to 77th in the 1999 Human Development Index. In the same period, five years, India stood still on the UN’s HDI index but Delhi’s ‘sick’ rulers take pleasure that economically troubled Pakistan in the same period dropped from 128th HDI position in 1995 to 138th in 1999- a poor performance indeed.
The only way Indian Occupied Punjab will ever be able to reduce the unemployment, prosper and improve the lot of its Sikh majority, their children and their children is by saying "Good Bye", "Namastay", "Sayonara", "Ta Ta" to the squalor that is India and showing the minions of the Brahmin rulers the far back of the Jumna river whose waterway will form the Eastern Boundary of Egalitarian Khalistan.
