why is india as a country large but still under develop?

Answer 1

India is just now getting its problems with conflict between religions and over population controlled enough to allow it to focus on the infrastructure required for growth!

Answer 2

India is a developing country because it lacks the infrastructure for it to be otherwise. Yes India has fantastic technology and many many very sharp minds. It also has grinding poverty. It also has a literacy rate of 65% as of 2001. The road system, while vast, is also overburdened and poorly maintained. The energy infrastructure does not meet the demands of today never mind the demands that India's rapidly growing economy are going to place on it. The fact that India is growing so fast and so hard, should be an indication that India is a developing country. A developed country would have spend orders of magnitude more to get the same expansion. (This is the notion of diminishing returns.) For example, America can't really improve it's highway infrastructure by rapidly building more roads. There are already roads connecting pretty much everyone to everyone else. The way for America to advance in this way would be to discover an incredible new form of transportation and rapidly and aggressively implement it. India will be a developed country when the roads have all been made. When the schools have caused a generation or two to take literacy for granted, when the person walking the street does not concern themselves with whether or not their lights will turn on when they get home.

Answer 3

India cannot be a developed country in our life time with current breed of politicians. If we think India is developed just by looking at the current progress in IT sector then it is a mistake. Visit any part of rural India to know real India. India is poor uneducated and it cannot be changed with current system. If we have to see a change in our life time we need a fundamental change in the system....please read more on this at http://blog.myspace.com/militarycoup

Answer 5

Because the citizens and the politicans don't want to change the country for the better and would instead live in a dump that the country is! Plus, billions would have to die and cities to be torn down in order for this change. Last summer Mumbai was flooded and did anybody do anything about it-NO. Because if anybody would have done something to replace the sewer systems to make the city have better drainage then it would have happened by now and probaly even finished.
