Indian government wastes more than $100bn annually on direct and indirect subsidies for fuel, gas etc. It wastes billions on so called 'development schemes' like NREGA which gives poor farmers just enough to survive but not enough to be self sufficient and rise above poverty permanently. It's keeping the poor, poor. All government policies are short sited and are reactionary rather than pro active. This is due to the present government in India(congress) that doesn't know any other way to govern. They have been doing this for the last 60 years and still haven't lost hope. The civil servants are recruited through the same procedure since the 1920s and hence have old thinking and are unimaginative. This is why all the innovation in India comes from the private sector, not government. The key to faster growth is long term planning. The government needs to downsize and open everything to private sector. Remove FDI and trade barriers. Even if this means short term job losses in rural areas. 70% of Indian population depends on agriculture even though agriculture provides less than 15% of GDP. This is the reason for the high poverty. The government is trying to help these farmers produce more but Agriculture is not a factory. Even quadrupling the agricultural output won't make them middle class. The only option is for villagers to move to the cities and government must focus on making opportunities in urban areas. Spend on urban housing and development, industrial infrastructure, health and education. Also on skills development for the rural population so they may get jobs in industry and tertiary.

Look at the global recognition that India has got...stop poisoning the mind of Pakistani people with anti-India sentiments. we have already suffered a lot due to propaganda like these. We have not got the budgets as high as India, but that has not stopped us from procuring arms (I am ashamed of us begging for arms from America & NATO). If Countries like China, America, Russia and Israel have flourishing arms trade, it is at our (PAK-INDIA) expense. Stop spreading this hatred.
