Challenges of India

On the 15th of August, 1947, the main challenges facing a new born India were poverty, illiteracy, social equity, poor infrastructure, national security, etc. Today, in the year 2009, 26% of people live below the poverty line, 33% are illiterate, there are huge biases in gender, caste and religion that plague our society, we all know basic infrastructure like roads, electricity, water, healthcare, etc are woefully inadequate for the majority of our population, and the safety of citizens is more under threat than ever, not just from the usual criminal elements, but now from terrorists as well. So it looks like pretty much the same challenges we were facing in 1947.
