The Indian youth voted en masse for B.J.P. in the Lok Sabha elections in the May, 2014, thinking that 'vikas' meant millions of jobs for them. The article given below shows the reality asout the employment situation in India ( see also my blog ' Unemployment in India ' on justicekatju.blogspot.in ).
It is said that there has been economic growth under the new government in India. Assuming that the statistics about GDP growth are correct ( which is itself doubtful ), the further question, however, which has to be asked is : who is getting the fruits of this growth ? Is it the Indian masses, or is it just a handful of big businessmen ?
The truth is mentioned in my posts ' The party is over ', ' The dream has evaporated ', ' economic humbug ', ' The Indian budget ', ' Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing ', Thumbs up ', ' Jai ho ', ' The trickle down theory ', etc, which may be seen on justicekatju.blogspot.in
