India’s Superpower gimmick: Manmohan Singh thinks he has made India a Superpower!

"If you go by the facts about hunger, there are 820 million chronically hungry people in the world of which one third live in India. While 836 million Indians survive on less than 20 rupees (less than half-a-dollar) a day, over 20 crore Indians sleep hungry every night. 10 million people die every year of chronic hunger and hunger-related diseases. As per a report in The Hindu, dated October 12, 2011, India, the ‘rising economy,' has fallen behind countries like Bangladesh and Pakistan in updating data on hunger and mal-nutrition, may be fearing revelation of truth under the mask. The UPA Government of Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi has no money for all the poor, starving and unemployed Indians, but it can still spare $10 billion for the much better off European nations facing a financial crisis."

How could Manmohan Singh have dared to refuse declaring India as an economic superpower when his Italian boss Sonia Gandhi had ordered him to do so? Also, could Manmohan Singh have refused to help in bailing out Italy, which is the motherland (and fatherland) of Sonia Gandhi?

Of course, Manmohan Singh wants all the countries to acknowledge that he is one of the greatest economists in the History of the World. If the other countries learn the basic principles of Manmohanomics, they can also acquire large reserves of foreign exchange like India.

So, how have Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi made India an economic superpower, which can now generously lend $10 billion to Eurozone defaulters like Greece, Spain and Italy? What measures has the UPA Government taken to make India a superpower, which can now bail out even the countries of Europe?

The UPA Government of Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi has no money for all the poor, starving and unemployed Indians, but it can still spare $10 billion for the much better off Europeans.

The people of India have been kept under conditions of semi-starvation to limit the growth of its population by causing early deaths, especially among the malnourished infants and women belonging to the poor classes. The UPA Government has even been deliberately making millions of tons of food grains rot in the godowns to make them unfit for consumption by human beings. The poor people of India have been suffering for many years due to the high prices of foods, which are caused by artificial shortages.

About half of the medicines sold in our country are spurious and adulterated, which are causing permanent diseases and early deaths in millions of Indians. There is no effective way to prevent the sale of spurious and adulterated medicines, as there is rampant corruption in the administration. Due to the culture of bribery, the government officials have failed to take drastic action against the culprits who are engaged in selling spurious and adulterated medicines worth many thousand crore rupees. Even if millions of people become permanently sick and die early, it does not matter for the corrupt political leaders and government officials, so long as they get big bribes from the manufacturers of spurious and adulterated medicines.

Ruthless Exploitation of the Poor and Suicides

There is ruthless exploitation of the poor, uneducated and semiliterate people not only in the villages, but also in the urban areas of cities and towns.

In India, there are still many money-lenders who illegally charge interest of even up to 10% per month on loans given to farmers, workers, small traders, etc. The total interest charged by money-lenders can amount to much more than 120% per year. The inability to pay back such loans leads to snatching of lands, homes, shops, vehicles and other assets of the farmers, workers, small traders and other debtors, many of whom feel compelled to commit suicide.

There have been lakhs of suicides among debt-ridden poor farmers, workers, traders and students. Most of the political leaders and the Police help the criminal money-lenders who charge excessive rates of interest, and not the harassed loan takers. The political leaders and the Police side with the money-lenders and other extortionists who pay them the haftaas or weekly bribes regularly.

Many of the poor landowners are forced to sell their properties to MNCs, NRIs and foreigners at low prices fixed by the Government. For doing this work, the extremely corrupt political leaders and government officials can earn huge amounts of money as bribes, which can be deposited by them in secret accounts in Swiss Banks.

India is Largest Nudist Colony in the World

The vast majority of the people of India lives in tiny huts, cramped rooms in chawls or slums, and even on footpaths. The majority of the people still defecate in the open because they have no toilets of their own.

The UPA Government of Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi has let India remain the largest nudist colony of the world by not spending enough money to provide adequate water and sanitation to the majority of Indians.

Many children bathe completely nude in the rivers, ponds and canals, particularly in the rural areas. There are even some adults who bathe nude before other people. Adequate funds are not provided by the Government of India, which is acting as a superpower. Does the defecation and bathing in the open by the poor people bring millions of foreign tourists to India? That should be helping to increase India's foreign currency reserves!

Huge Deposits of Indians in Swiss Banks

Indians are reported to be having deposits of about $1.5 trillion dollars in Swiss banks, and they are also having huge deposits of unknown value in other tax havens of the world. This fact makes the Indian nation an economic superpower whose wealth is utilized in financing the industries of many countries. Such huge amounts of money are due to the massive bribes taken by the corrupt politicians and government officials, and also due to the massive smuggling of goods and massive tax evasion by businessmen.

The whole world should know that India has apparently become an economic superpower in the eyes of other nations due to the extremely corrupt UPA Government of Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi. The majority of Indians are deprived from the benefits of their own massive funds of more than $1.5 trillion dollars, which are taken out illegally to be invested for the benefit of people of foreign countries.

There is suppression of the truth about the real condition of the majority of people in India. The real facts are hidden from the world, as there is heavy censorship of unfavourable news and comments on the UPA Government, which has been regularly bribing the persons controlling the news media. Getting favourable comments through Paid News based on false propaganda and lies is done by bribing the journalists, editors and publishers of newspapers, as well as the anchors and owners of TV channels. Now, even the Internet is sought to be controlled through censorship and shutting down of websites, which are highly critical of the UPA Government.
