I live in a developing country.

I live in a country belonging to some of the richest people in the world. Billionaires, to be precise. At the same time the Human Development Index (HDI) list has the same country is ranked at 134th among 182 countries.

I live in a country where the media is so fair in their reporting that two actors getting married makes up as content for 24*7 news channels and the HDI reports are given just a mention in the papers.

I live in a country where the per capita income is more than Rs. 33,000 but the poor in the city live at less than Rs. 20 a day.

I live in a country whose GDP is around 8% and is still struggling to fulfill the basic needs of a person to live a healthy life.

I live in a country that hosts two fashion weeks in a year displaying the creativity in designing fabric to the world. Around the same time, there are cotton farmers committing suicides in the villages. The former get 24*7 coverage and the latter has to be brought into notice again and again by only one journalist in the country and then the nation turns it's eyes to it.

I live in a country where rich people living in Delhi get media coverage if they are abused but four adivasi girls raped by policemen in a remote district of Chattisgarh are not even mentioned in the mainstream media.

I live in a country which has the longest written Constitution in the world and has one of the best democratic systems. But at the same time it lets go of the most unconstitutional behavior by it's political parties.

I live in a country that announces 49.5% reservations in institutes for the SC/STs and OBCs and then displaces the same people from their natural surroundings to set up industries.

I live in a country where children are taught all the time in the school that it is secular. But they grow up seeing the minorities being attacked all the time.

I live in a country where a celebrity is treated like god but if they speak any thing that is against the ideology of the political party that is more powerful than the party in power, then they can be accused of not being patriotic.

I live in a country which wants to be a part of the trend of globalization and have cultural exchanges with other countries but will have strong objections against the youth celebrating a day of love because it's something not in our culture.

I live in a country of Gandhi, where the government is constantly lying to it's people that it is developing.

My question is --is my country developing? If yes, then in what sense??
