WHY IS INDIA STILL A DEVELOPING COUNTRY?

WHY IS INDIA STILL A DEVELOPING COUNTRY???

The answer to this question is very simple. Let me explain this thing with a small but very famous story:
The Ant and the Grasshopper {Old story - New version}

Old Story:

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up
supplies for the winter.
The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs dances plays the summer away.
Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or shelter
so he dies out in the cold.

New Version:

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up
supplies for the winter.
The Grasshopper thinks the Ant’s a fool and laughs dances plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to
know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold
and starving.
NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper next to a
video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor
Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the Ant’s house.
Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding that
Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter .
Mayawati states this as “injustice” done on Minorities.
Amnesty International and Koffi Annan criticize the Indian Government for not
upholding the fundamental rights of the Grasshopper.


The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the Grasshopper
(Many promising Heaven and Everlasting Peace for prompt support as against the
Wrath of God for non-compliance.)
Opposition MPs stage a walkout. Left parties call for ‘Bengal Bandh’ in West Bengal
and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry.
CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working hard in the
heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants and Grasshoppers.
Mayawati allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian Railway Trains,
aptly named as the ‘Gharib Grasshopper Rath’.
Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the “Prevention of Atrocities Against
Grasshoppers Act” [PAAGA], with effect from the beginning of the winter.
Our Education minister makes ‘Special Reservation’ for Grasshoppers in Educational Institutions in Government Services.
The Ant is fined for failing to comply with PAAGA and having nothing left to pay his
retroactive taxes, it’s home is confiscated by the Government and handed over to the
Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NDTV.
Arundhati Roy calls it ‘A Triumph of Justice’.
Lalu calls it ‘Socialistic Justice’.
CPM calls it the ”Revolutionary Resurgence of the Downtrodden’
Koffi Annan invites the Grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly.
Many years later...
The Ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi-billion dollar company in
Silicon Valley,
100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation somewhere in India,
..AND
As a result of losing lot of hard working Ants and feeding the grasshoppers,
India is still a developing country...!! ! :) :) :)
This is a message to all the only reason why we are like this is because we lack UNITY, the great thing about us is we know what the problem is but we like to be quite until and unless the problems comes to us or our family. This attitude has to be change don’t allow any other person to make issue out of your life.
This may be in humour sense but means a lot try to get the inner message. This is the reason why a country like India which has everything but till now it is called as developing nation. Just think about it.
