The economic reforms in India were really painstaking to
the poor in India. And I did feel very bad the way the right capitalistic
government in India treat the people who voted them to power. And these days I was
reading all the news about the protests all over India and was feeling one with
the poor…….. But now today in my International Political Economy class I was
taken into surprise with the comments about the recent developments in India. The
government in India was highly praised for the economic reforms and special
attention was given to the prime minister telling that he has at last opened
his eyes and is awake………. This is the difference when we study politics in
Europe………….. The way things are seen from here is different. The areas of
concern for the western political scholars are different. The more the markets
are open the more the government is appreciated. In a world where everything
runs capitalistic (no one sees the depressions and the crisis) India becomes no
different. Mr.Singh needs only the western appreciations and not the
appreciation from his majority citizens who are poor (World Bank index shows 75.6%
of the population (828 Million) are living below $2 a day). No wonder as
he also did study economics in west.
