It is sad to note that even after seven decades of India's independence the poverty is only rising at a jet speed. And it's decline seems to be not in sight in near future. Infact we have to hang our heads in shame if we look at the recent notification from Indian Institute of Statistics on suicides in India vis a vis AP& TS. Absolutely there is no correlation between what our great so called top leaders who shout from the roof tops about the progress or development vis a vis the ground reality on many important issues concerning general public. It feels sad that 70 years of freedom has not empowered the food providing farmers.
As per the statistics we see 15 suicides in an hour everyday all over India. Is this what we dreamed for independent India? I feel very depressed for the pathetic state of affairs of the day and the Governance. It is not out of place to mention that over the period of time, the whole administration and the governance has gone into the hands of totally corrupt politicians, bureaucracy and sometimes even judiciary. It is also a fact that the suicides are generally committed by poor and downtrodden those who are unable to make their both ends meet. While politicians, corrupt babus are amassing lots of black money to keep it in Swiss banks.
Some of the poverty alleviation programs like Food For Work were introduced with lot of fanfare have become the food for our so called leaders? When our leaders are unable to provide food and shelter to the needy it would be too much to expect healthcare and education? Diminishing income levels and spiraling costs are making it difficult for the downtrodden to survive and leading to mass suicide.

In AP 4451 such deaths have occurred and in Telangana number stands at 6882 and these two states stand at number 10 in the suicides compared to other states. Where is the development which our great leaders speak?
With regards to complete family suicides, AP is in 4th place while MP, UP and Karnataka take first three places. I am at a loss to understand as what is that we have achieved right from Nehru to Modi? With high suicidal rate we can easily imagine our country's developmental plight . Our political leaders have to put their heads to shame. Only god can save our country.
