How Marx Failed In Hindu India

A gigantic country like India with a mammoth population fast going downhill should be a matter of international concern. For the first time after Independence the country has reached a zero growth rate. There have been such an all-round deterioration-ecomomic social cultural political educational and even moral-that this country with a so-called glorious cultural heritage is now being called the 'Sick Man of Asia'. While the plight of the Untouchables and tribals forming one-third of the country's population and the other Backward Classes has dipped to rock bottom the other 10% of the elitist population is enjoying unprecedented prosperity monopolising the whole gamut of day-to-dayactivity. And yet the whole mass of humanity in this subcontinent has shown no sign of unrest-let alone a desire to better its lot. The country looks a picture of contentment and perfect peace. This is the wonder of all wonders at a time when country after country is getting liberated indramatic sequence.
