Dear Sir,
Educate and employ people to lead a dignified life
Apropos the article on Decoding India's Conundrum of free food despite falling poverty ( Sunday Times 20th April), the fact remains that elections are unfortunately fought on the grant / promise of freebies even after 75 years of independence exploiting, the illiteracy, poverty and absence of thinking capacity of the people and reacting to the failure of the Establishments' economic policies in improving the lots of the deserving poor people. Neither the data nor the distribution of freebies to the really needy are reliable as the corrupt practices to win elections , be in power and make money at nation's and taxpayers' cost have unfortunately taken away the ethics and code of democratic values , administrative principles and fair and justifiable judiciary system. The fall in poverty does not keep people from seeking freebies is a misfortune and this needs to be administratively and culturally fought. This needs meaningful Governance, fair distribution of wealth, and demonstrable punishment to those who indulge in all kinds of corruption and malpractices.
