[Assam] Pride and Poverty: India's amazing blending

[umesh sharma]

We should not glorify poverty. Just by showcasing India's poverty or writing about it will not make it go away. Indian needs to get industrialized - just like the West did --Aerospace is the most hi-tech. Why not get into it? For that matter why have computers and internet either when majority of India canot even read or write properly-- so shall we do away with newspapers too - and journolists too?

Pride and Poverty: India's amazing blending
 
When one third of the world's poor lives in India, is it logical for New
Delhi to go with the fascination of arms and aviation? India spends more and
more money for the military empowerment, but ignores hopelessly the issue of
health, where hundred thousands die due to curable diseases.
The issues come alive as Bangalore is hoisting the 7th Biennial Aerospace
Exhibition from February 11. The five day extravaganza, Aero India 2009, at the
Yelahanka Air Force Base in the garden city of India has attracted around 600
Indian and international companies from 25 countries for the exhibition.
Organized by the Ministry of Defence (GoI) and recognized as the Asia's
largest air force exhibition, it will showcase a wide range of civil and
military aircrafts from leading manufacturers, vendors and suppliers.
