ample evidence of a dysfunctional, nonperforming public health system. …The situation varies across the country and in some parts of the country it functions very well.

Emerging trends in health care in India

Poverty and Social Opportunity
Yet even a hundred Bangalores and Hyderabads will not, on their own, solve India’s tenacious poverty and deep-seated inequality. The very poor in India get a small – and basically indirect – share of the cake that information technology and related developments generate. The removal of extreme poverty, calls for more participatory growth on a wide basis, which is not easy to achieve across the same barriers of illiteracy, ill health, uncompleted land reforms and other sources of severe societal inequality. The process of economic advance cannot be divorced from the cultivation and enhancement of social opportunities over a broad front.

India Shinning
“India is shining ok for the glossy magazines, but if you just go outside Bangalore you will see that everything about India shining is refuted … [In the villages] alcoholism is rife and femaie infacticide and crime are rising. You have to bribe to get electricity, water. Yes, the middle and upper classes are taking off, but the 700 million who are left behind, all they see is gloom and darkness and despair. They are born to fulfil their destiny and have to live this way and die this way. The only thing that shines for them is the sun, and it is hot and unbearable and too many of them die of heatstroke.”
