The United Nation's Human Development Program, whose 2006 report is being discussed here, is the process of enlarging people's chances, what people do and can do in their lives in pursuit of happiness. The United Nation's Human Development Report-2006 (issued annually) which examined 177 countries for its 2006 report released this month is all about - to use an expression of the UNDP - "what it will take for countries to establish democratic governance systems that advance the human development of all people - in a world where so many are left behind." Since it was first published in 1990, the UN's 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 every year, since 1990, to measure average achievements in basic human development in one simple composite index and to produce a ranking of countries. The comparative charts below gives an idea where India stands in the world - down in the pits - after fifty eight years of rascal-rule, most of it dynastic, (Nehru family) after ‘Independence’ was granted by the Colonial British in 1947. The Indian media, even well known newspapers with a good reputation like the HINDU hallucinate by publishing dezinformatsiya about the Human Development Report with the headline, “India one notch up in Human Development Index.” Please read that fairy tale at: http://www.thehindu.com/2006/11/11/stories/2006111112950400.htm

The UN's Human Development Report for the year 2006, measures human development in 177 countries in such areas as, % of literacy, % of population living below the poverty lines of $. 2 and $. 1 per day, % of population using adequate sanitation facilities, % of population with access to essential drugs and drinking water, % of under-weight children under 5 years of age etc., etc. For details of the sad plight of the world’s largest, and only, Brahmin/Bania dynastic oligarchy – INDIA -  please see Comparative Charts 1 & 2 below:-

‘What is wrong with India is the question in the headlines? The biggest problem facing India is that Agriculture, on which more than 60 percent of it's population is dependant, has grown only three percent annually. Agricultural and industrial growth in the states of Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Orissa which account for 50 percent of the country's geographical area has been marginal with the resultant farmer suicides. Industrial growth in the rest of the country has been wayward as it is confined to only a few states - and, in many cases, to only some cities. The benefits of IT had not filtered down to the farm sector. There are not enough jobs for graduates from institutions other than the elitist Indian Institutes of Technology and the Indian Institutes of Management. There are 331 million Indians living a life of misery for under $.1 a day. There are 863 million Indians who earn less than $. 2 a day. A vast majority of Indians have never seen a latrine so much so that 724 million rural and urban Indians answer the call of nature every day like animals and spread disease along with the filth. According to latest UN figures over six million Indians are infected with AIDS which will balloon to twenty million in a few years if the Indian government continues its state of denial. Former United States President Bill Clinton says India is now the epicenter of the global HIV/Aids epidemic. As regards foreign relations, while India wants to play a major power role on the world stage, its’ relations with its smaller defiant neighbors, like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal are not good in fact there is hostility.Indian leaders want to lay claim to a permanent Security Council seat as a major power on the basis of the armaments they are importing armaments while their people starve. The UNDP-2006 shows that dirt poor India was one of the biggest importer of armaments (US$. Millions) in the year 2005 in the whole world. India with 863 million Indians living under US $. 2 a day, most of them living without safe drinking water or latrines, imported US$. 1, 471 million worth of armaments in 2005 just ahead of Israel with $. 1, 422 million and Pakistan with a US$. 161 million import. But unlike Israel, China and Pakistan who also export arms, India has not been able to export any armaments despite inheriting dozens of Ordinance factories from the departing British Colonials which used to supply the Far East theatre during World War 11. The reason is lack of research and development in India. This is evident from the UN’s Human Development Report-2006 which shows that while 874 patents were granted (per one million people) in Japan, 738 patents were granted in S. Korea, 281 patents were granted  in the United States, 64 were granted in the UK and 18 patents (per one million Iranians) were granted in Iran, only one patent, per million people, was granted in India in 2004.

The way the Bombay (Stock Market) is being manipulated by the Brahmin/Bania evil nexus is symtomatic of what is wrong with the Indian dynastic oligarchy. Sensex rose from 5,054 points on July 22, 2004 to 6,017 on November 17, 7,077 on June 21, 2005, 8,073 on November 2, 9,067 on December 9, 10,082 on February 7, 2006, 11,079 on March 27, 12,219 on May 2, 2006 and 12,435 on May 11. Today (November 29, 06) it has touched 13, 616. In other countries such a rise in the Stock market would have filtered down prosperity among the masses but not in India.  The Sensex numbers have doubled in the past two years for a number of reasons including speculation by  foreign investors. This rise has been possible because of architectural weaknesses in the system which allows speculation by ‘fat cat cartels’ who after paying a small margin can invest heavily in stocks and manipulate prices. These speculators have been carrying on without physical settlement as ‘Day Traders’ are allowed to settle the difference between the purchase and the selling price. This practice is not allowed in the US and other countries but in India the Stock Market system accommodates the brokers with the result that delivery based trades represented only 25 per cent in India - in other countries it is 100 per cent. Readers will be shocked to learn that all this wealth generated in two years at the Stock market has gone to 11, 000 fat cats out of a population of one billion one hundred million. Some democracy!

It was never the intention of the United Nations but, the annual UNDP reports do educate, steel the spine, and strengthen the resolve of captive people like the Sikhs, Kashmiris, Nagas, Tamils, Dalits et al., held captive under the heel of the dynastic Brahmin oligarchy, INDIA. The true statistics in the UNDP reports shout out aloud why these captive nations must seek independence and part company from the world’s largest Castocracy which, according to experts, will take a hundred years to become a developed nation. Read a report from the UN, by one Suman Guha Mozumder, posted on the Rediff.com website, headlined, “India to take 100 years to be a developed nation”, in which he wrote that, "India may be aiming to become a developed nation by 2020, but a UN body feels the country would have to wait for another century to achieve that status.” (http://us.rediff.com/money/2005/sep/07india.htm?q=tp&file=.htm) ”

The only way out for the 25 million strong Sikh nation is a democratic buffer state of Khalistan, in their Homeland, located between India and Pakistan separating the two, stretching from the Pakistan border in the West to the River Jumna on the East. Khalistan would 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.
