My take, The economic divide in India is there to stay and will only widen even more.Primarily due to the reason, the growth is concentrated on certain sectors and still export/FDI/FII driven.
Contrary to what I want, We seem to be losing out on a once in a century opportunity when we could explore the domestic demand and market to create world-standard brands,distinguish our identity,explore avenues to drive the global economic scenario by creating jobs and opportunity within rather than trying and fuelling developed countries to their recovery so that we can start getting business from them again.
Inflation and rupee fluctuation will ensure more have-nots are produced in India with each percent of growth registered every year.
If God forbid, India Shining story turns out to be a mirage. I strongly feel its in the personal interest of every individual to make responsible investment decisions and career choices to ensure they consistently remain on the upper strata of the society and not become one among the lost generation.
