Whats wrong with India - II?
India’s lousy performance in improving the lot of the vast majority of Indians has earned India the title of the ‘Sick man of South Asia’.
What future do the 22 million Sikhs have as captives inside squalid India’s boundaries?
Washington, D.C., Wednesday, December 27, 2006 - A month ago, in the November 29, 2006, Khalistan Calling ( > /home/khalistancalling/2006/november29.aspx <) this column disclosed that, India was doing a standing march, or backwards march, in human development as, “according to the latest UN’s Human Development Report-2006, INDIA, has dropped two places from its ranking of 124th (earned in 2002) to 126th in 2006 while a host of other under-developed countries like Mexico, Cambodia, Indonesia, Iran, Nepal, Pakistan, Brazil, Egypt, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Ireland and China have improved their HDI ranking …between 2002 and 2006.”The excellent United Nation's Human Development Program whose 2006 report is being discussed here (as it has been discussed in this column every year for the past eight years) is meant to enlarge people's chances, what common people can do in their lives in pursuit of happiness and bettering their lives as a result of ‘human development’. It is very important that every Sikh (the three millions FREE Sikhs in the diaspora and their 22 million beleaguered compatriots captive in the Sikh Homeland currently under Indian occupation, since August 1947) look more closely at this excellent UN report to see that there is hardly any hope, there is no chance, under the evil rule of the Brahmin/ Bania minority nexus, (presided over by the Italian widow of the mass murderer of the Sikhs, Rajiv Gandhi, and her nominated timid Prime minister) which mis-rules from New Delhi’s British-built palaces built on stolen Sikh Gurdwara lands. The earlier the Sikh nation realizes the hopeless situation, stands up and parts company with India the better. (> http://hdr.undp.org/hdr2006/pdfs/report/HDR06-complete.pdf <)
In order to bring the readers upto date two charts ‘A’ and ‘B’, are appended below, which highlight information (culled from the UN’s Human Development Report-2006 and the New York Times 2006 Almanac) which gives a ‘birds eye view’ of the retarded Human development in India as compared to twenty one countries, eighteen of them most populous countries of the world – in descending order - whose problems (over population is one of them) are similar to India’s. For example; China, with a current population of over one billion three hundred million, had a gross GDP per capita of US$. 92 (yes $. 92) in 1970 (see Chart ‘A’ below) as compared to India’s GDP per capita of US$. 245 in 1970 and mis-ruled Indonesia’s US$. 211 and Egypt’s US$. 338. Thirty four years later – after three decades of ‘progress’ - China’s GDP per capita has jumped to US$. 1, 490, Indonesia’s has increased to US$. 1, 184, Egypt has increased to US$. 1, 085, while India is stuck at a per capita annual GDP figure of US$. 640. To catch up to the current GDP per capita of China, Indonesia or Egypt, the dynastic Indian oligarchy will need another thirty years – till after 2, 036 AD - by which time China, Indonesia and Egypt will have sped ahead too.
What chance do the captive 22 million Sikhs have of infra-structure development in their Punjab Homeland, if the Indian government could muster only a US$. 87 Billion national budget for the year 2004 as compared to the 2004 national budgets of Brazil of $. 141 billion, Mexico’s $. 160 billion, China’s $. 318 billion, USA’s $. 1, 062 billion, Germany’s $. 1, 200 and Japan’s 2004 budget of $. 1, 401 billion. No wonder India has not been able to make any improvement in providing sanitation facilities (latrines) fo 67% (over 733 million) of its population who have to perforce pollute the urban and rural areas every day when they answer the daily call of nature behind every bush or nook and corner.
It is the same story with exports which is the ‘engine’ of economic progress for any country. How long will it take India’s 2004 export figure of US$. 76 billion to catch up with Thailand’s exports of $. 106 billion, Brazil’s $. 115 billion, Malaysia’s $. 147 billion, tiny city state of Singapore’s $. 205 billion, Mexico’s $. 214 billion, Japan’s $. 551 billion, China’s exports of $. 752 billion, USA’s $. 928 billion and Germany’s $. 1, 016 billion in 2004 and export figures of other developed Europeon and Asian countries.
Another depressing comparison would be (see CHART ‘B’) use of the internet per 1, 000 people in which most countries, including India, started from ‘0’ use in 1990. Fourteen years later, in 2004, Turkish-speaking Turkey shows 142 internet users per 1, 000 population, Spanish-speaking Mexico shows 135 internet users, Portuguese-speaking Brazil shows 120 users, Thai-speaking Thailand shows 109 users, Persian-speaking Iran shows 82 users, Chinese-speaking China shows 73 users, Javanese/Dutch speaking Indonesia shows 67 users, Arabic speaking Egypt shows 54, English-speaking India, despite its propaganda about this sector, can only show what the Economist London, calls the ‘Hindu rate of growth, of 32 users of internet per 1, 000 Indians in 2004 after 14 years. How many centuries will it take India to match Internet usage in the USA, or Japan or Germany of 630, 587 and 500 users per 1, 000 respectively?
It is the same story with Mobile phones per 1, 000 population with a zero base in 1990. After 14 years Indian propaganda keep trumpeting that there has been a mobile (Cellular) phone boom in India with 44 Mobil phones per 1, 000 Indians in 2004 – starting with zero in 1990. The facts are that in the same period Egypt now has 105 mobil phones per 1000 Egyptians, Indonesia has 138 phones, China has 258 mobil phones per 1, 000 Chinese, Brazil has 357, Mexico has 370, Phillipines has 404, Thailand has 430, and Malaysia has 587 phones per 1, 000 of its population. How many years will it take India (44 Mobil phones per 1, 000 Indians in 2004) to match the Mobil phone numbers of Singapore which, in 2004, had 910 phones per 1, 000 people or even China which in 2004 had 258 mobil phones for every 1, 000 Chinese?

The conclusion from these UN’s Human Development Reports and the above comparisons charts is obvious. Sikhs have no future in the over populated Indian oligarchy, the world’s largest dynastic Castocracy ruled by the descendants of the first Prime minister of India Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru. The only course open for the 25 million strong Sikh nation is the creation of a sovereign, democratic, buffer state of Khalistan, in the Sikh Homeland of Punjab, which will be located between India and Pakistan. Khalistan will separate the two warring countries, and will stretch from the Pakistan border in the West to the River Jumna on the East, Kashmir in the North and China on the North East. Khalistan is destined to act as a bridge of peace and commerce between Central and South Asia as Amritsar is much closer to Islamabad, Kabul, Tehran, and Tashkent then it is to Kolkata and Chennai.
