[Imranpak]

Jairam Ramesh said spending on basic sanitation should match India's vast defence spending and that the country's best scientific minds should be deployed to make sure every Indian had access to an inside lavatory.

"Nearly 60 per cent of the people in the world who defecate in the open belong to India. Even countries like Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and Afghanistan have better records. We should be ashamed of this."

He was speaking at the launch of a new 'eco-lavatory' designed by India's Defence Research and Development Organisation, which is responsible for developing its new Agni Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles.

Of all India's states, Sikkim, the tiny former Kingdom in the Himalayas, has provided indoor lavatories for all its people. Kerala, in the south, is close to joining it, but the minister said it was disappointing that so many other states were not even close to meeting the target. Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Orissa had particular poor records.

In Orissa, only 280 of 6300 local authorities could claim to have 100 per cent lavatory use, he said.

He was launching the 'Bapu' named in honour of the country's 'father of the nation' Mahatma Gandhi, a 'bio-lavatory' which composts waste. The government is sign an agreement with its defence establishment to spend 50 million to lavatories in 1,000 local authority areas mostly those without sewage drain systems.

[hilar][hilar][hilar] must be the population!...does anyone pay taxes for them ??

My laughs are not for poor people infact we Pakistanis feel the pain of India's poor....and be assured we will eventually be the ones to solve their problems as well. My laughs are for those ignorant country men of India's poor who dont see the plight of their own marginalized people and are quick to call others ..."Uncivilised".."not having equal rights".."freedom of religion" ...

You will more than surprised to know what castes mos of those people belong too....here this is to that idiot who thinks they are more civilized than Islamic countries...they should be ashamed of this!

This is the fact that 60% of India's Population lives below Poverty Line and they dont even have basic facilities of life.But there is some eye opener for you guys.

1. India is a poor nation but we are not beggers like you people . The height of begging is Pakistan taking money from US and letting them kill your own peoplw with drone attacks since from so many years.

2. You guys lied about Kashmir, wars since 1947.

3. Lets see some Indexes. You guys are in bottom of corruption index, danger nation index, failed nation index.

 

[modern.fakir]

See this is exactly the problem ....why take this the wrong way ??...India doesnt have toilets whats that got to do with Pakistan getting Aid ?

Did the rest of the world ask you to go and have a big defense budget ??...What kind of flawed logic is this ?

When your country recieved the largest aid to build Toilets in the region ....How are you any different than not having spread out the Begging bowl ?

So my friend you are beggars and you still recieve aid to BUILD TOILETS (bigsmile)

And who are you to complain about drone attacks ...when you urself have 400 million dalits upon whom you have laid down one misery after another.

You have systematically enslaved 400 million people let alone talk and talk about Pakistan's problem.. We know what to do to take care of our people ...you need to worry about your **** HOLE !(bigsmile)

International development aid is one part of the UK budget unlikely to be cut in a squeeze on public finances. But questions are being asked about how aid is used, and which countries need it. India last year got almost 300m from the UK, some of it spent on toilets in the country's financial capital, Mumbai.

Here you want indexes and comparisons right ...here read your deeds (bigsmile)(bigsmile)

Poverty Graph: According to WFP, India accounts around 50% of the world’s hungry. (more than in the whole of Africa) and its fiscal deficit is one of the highest in the world. India’s Global Hunger Index (GHI) score is 23.7, a rank of 66th out of 88 countries. India’s rating is slightly above Bangladesh but below all other South Asian nations and India is listed under “ALARMING” category. Ref: IFPRI Country Report on IndiaAround six out of 10 Indians live in the countryside, where abject poverty is widespread. 34.7 % of the Indian population lives with an income below $ 1 a day and 79.9 % below $ 2 a day. According to the India’s planning commission report 26.1 % of the population live below the poverty line. [World Bank’s poverty line of $1 a day, but the Indian poverty line of Rs 360 a month, or 30 cents a day].

The Current Account Balance of India: A major area of vulnerability for us is the high consolidated public-debt to GDP ratio of over 70 percent … (and) consolidated fiscal deficit,” says the Governor of Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Mr. Yaga Venugopal Reddy.According to CIA world fact book, the Current account balance of India is -37,510,000,000 (minus) while China is the wealthiest country in the world with $ 426,100,000,000 (Plus) . India listed as 182 and China as no.1 [CIA: The world fact book]

Human Development vs GDP growth: The Human Development Report for 2009 released by the UNDP ranked India 134 out of 182 countries, working it out through measures of life expectancy, education and income. India has an emigration rate of 0.8%. The major continent of destination for migrants from India is Asia with 72.0% of emigrants living there. The report found that India’s GDP per capita (purchasing power parity) is $2,753, far below Malaysia’s $13,518. China listed as 92 with PPP of $5383. Read the statistics from UNDP website.

Population: According to the Indian census of 2001, the total population was 1.028 billion. Hindus numbered 827 million or 80.5 %. About 25 per cent (24 million) of those Hindus are belonging to Scheduled Castes and Tribes. About 40 per cent (400 million) are “Other Backward Castes”.15 per cent Hindu upper castes inherited majority of India’s civil service, economy and active politics from British colonial masters. And thus the caste system virtually leaves lower caste Hindus in to an oppressed majority in India’s power structure. Going by figures quoted by the Backward Classes Commission, Brahmins alone account for 37.17 per cent of the bureaucracy. [Who is Really Ruling India?]The 2004 World Development Report mentions that more than 25% of India’s primary school teachers and 43% of primary health care workers are absent on any given day!

Living conditions of Indians: 89 percent of rural households do not own telephones; 52 percent do not have any domestic power connection. There are daily power cuts even in the nation’s capital. The average brownout in India is three hours per day during non-monsoon months, 17 hours daily during the monsoon. The average village is 2 kilometers away from an all-weather road, and 20 percent of rural habitations have partial or no access to a safe drinking-water supply. [Tarun Khanna, Yale Center for the Study of Globalization]According to the National Family Health Survey data (2005-06), only 45 per cent of households in the country had access to improved sanitation.

Education: India has over 35 per cent of the world’s total illiterate population. [UNESCO Education for All Report 2008] Only 66 per cent people are literate in India (76 per cent men and 54 per cent women)About 40 million primary school-age children in India are not in school. More than 92 % children cannot progress beyond secondary school. According to reports, 35 per cent schools don’t have infrastructure such as blackboards and furniture. And close to 90 per cent have no functional toilets. Half of India’s schools still have leaking roofs or no water supply.Japan has 4,000 universities for its 127 million people and the US has 3,650 universities for its 301 million, India has only 348 universities for its 1.2 billion people. In the prestigious Academic Ranking of World Universities by Institute of Higher Education, Shanghai Jiao Tong, only two Indian Universities are included. Even those two IITs in India found only a lower slot (203-304) in 2007 report. Although Indian universities churn out three million graduates a year, only 15% of them are suitable employees for blue-chip companies. Only 1 million among them are IT professionals.

Health: India today allocates lower than one per cent gross domestic product (GDP) to health. According to United Nations calculations, India’s spending on public health as a share of GDP is the 18th lowest in the world. 150 million Indians are blind. 2.13 per cent of the total population (21.9 million) live with disabilities in India. Yet, only 34 per cent of the disabled are employed [Census 2001] India has the single highest share of neonatal deaths in the world, 2.1 million.107,000 Leprosy patients live in India. 15.3 % of the population do not survive to the age of forty. Serpent attacks kill as many as 50,000 Indians while the cobra occupies a hallowed place in the Hindu religion. Heart disease, strokes and diabetes cost India an estimated $9 billion in lost productivity in 2005. The losses could grow to a staggering $200 billion over the next 10 years if corrective action is not taken quickly, says a study by the New Delhi-based Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations.There are only 585 rural hospitals compared to 985 urban hospitals in the country. Out of the 6,39,729 doctors registered in India, only 67,576 are in the public sector and the rest either in private sectors or abroad, pointing towards the severity of the problem. According to a survey by NSSO (National Sample Survey Organisation), 40 per cent of the people hospitalised have either had to borrow money or sell assets to cover their medical expenses. Over 85 per cent of the Indian population does not have any form of health coverage.Tuberculosis (TB) is a major public health problem in India. India accounts for one-fifth of the global TB incident cases. Each year about 1.8 million people in India develop TB, of which 0.8 million are infectious cases. It is estimated that annually around 330,000 Indians die due to TB. [WHO India]​

Being poor is not a crime and poor people are in both countries India and Pakistan.
But the difference is that we accept that we are a poor nation whereas Indians do not accept it and later on they are ashamed on it.
I am sorry to say that Indians can never solve their problem of poverty, because the first step to solve any problem is to accept that this is a problem and Indian will never accept it. Their media is washing brains of all the Indians.
Richest people of the world are also in India and poorest people of the world are also in India. India is the worst example of capitalism in the world.

No one is laughing at suffering people no matter where they live but since the Bharatis call us beggars then it's only right that we show them the mirror every now and again. They may be able to fool the world but never us Pakistanis.

We're not the one's who constantly tell the world about our brilliance and how quickly we're developing, NOT!
