Answer 2

Developed or underdeveloped is all based on certain economic criteria presently accepted according to the existing economic theories in the world. T

The essence of all development is happiness of people. Many people are still suffering in India due to lack of resources for their basic amenities, while many are exploiting fellowmen without any concern for the underprivilaged.

If all the economically previlaged of the country really care for the less fortunate, no body in India will remain unhappy.

India is a country rich of natural resources. India have enough resources to satisfy every Inidan's need, but not enough to satisfy every Indian's greed.

When all Indians (at least the politicians, government servants and the businessmen of India) learn to remain happy in just meeting thier needs only, India will be a developed country.

If Indians think that the western consumerist lifestyle is the yardstick to judge development, remember India cannot become developed because, India or the world just not have enough resources to raise the level of consumption of 1000 million people to that of an average European or North American.

Better Indians stick on to the Gandhian concept of development which is true and ultimately the "developed" West also will have to come down to that concept.
