Conjuring past icons to win elections

Some Indians have an incorrigible inclination to live in the past--our glorious history conjures in us the images of great kings; we like to dwell in the Golden Age.And using this 'lets revive the past' movements are created by the political parties. Activism inculcating past values will not be supported by all because we can think for ourselves. Actual state of affairs cannot be covered up with dressy language. So political elite cannot promise a return to the glorious past. We demand the basic need--livelihoods for all, and no party makes this as its central issue.

Indian growth story has brought prosperity to a small number of business class. The purchasing power of the workers/farmers/laborers has not been elevated.The growth has taken place at the cost of the poor farmers, and at the cost of the poor forest people whose resources have been absorbed up by the business class. This plundering of resources has been facilitated by the ruling elite by means of "development agenda". By providing for capital subsidies, by giving incentives, and by offering concessions, skewed policies for growth has been made.It will be soon understood by the people who will be able to see the vast differences in wealth of the rich India and the deprived India. Growth for the rich has taken place when the rights of the poor has been robbed while selling  a "dream of development"By believing in icons that our glorious past will be revived, people vote for contesting parties.
When are we going to provide livelihoods for the people?How to fit the people of old cultures in modern India?This is the true challenge of the modern ruling elite.
