Growth-At the cost of whom


The workers and farmers had fuelled India's growth. Farmers put together the power of the sun, with the fertility of the soil, and hard work while shedding their sweat on the soil. They sell their produce at low rates in order to make little money(minimum support price does not allow profits). Their produce is bought by others--procured, sold, resold, transferred, transported and consumed. This is what we call economy.Workers work for long long hours, contribute their labour, so that industrialists can make huge huge profits. Workers get small salaries, and live out their lives with few amenities and a little space to live in. They are paid just enough to live.The money these workers and farmers had contributed towards tax was taken by government; and bureaucrats consumed it as their salaries. Do these bureaucrats contribute to anything constructive? They contribute to corruption and red-tapism in our organisations.
 All  our natural resources are shared by politicians and their dynasties.Our resources should be used for betterment of our hard working people.Unless we contribute to the betterment of the actual producers, we cannot keep the wheel of economy from moving on. We want to only exploit them indefinitely. What is the government or the industry doing for the betterment of workers? Nothing. So with so many using up the labour of the farmers and workers, there will come a time when the workers and farmers will give up. Then what?We will have to increase the expenditures on farmers/working/producers and decrease the expenditures on non workers. We can reduce the number of bureaucrats by bringing in greater computerization.We can increase number of workers by increasing the number of industries;and workers should have more benefits and are not be exploited as they are now.If foreign companies come to India in a big way,they will not consider worker's welfare,only profit matters to them.Our people will suffer more with increase in poverty which this will result in. The logic that government will collect tax and provide a way of living for the poor is not credible anymore.More and more farmers are committing suicides. This is not normal.Oh what will future of India be like?
